and they withdrew Immediately to the
chamber of the senator's wife to sum
mon her to the bedside. II was while

his last.

played by Mrs. Hanna was the subject
of the greatest surprise. She had
been in almost constant attendance on
her husband, though realizing there
was no hope for recovery. Neyerthe-
less the remonstrances of the physi-
clans and the added implorings of her
children that she take sone rest were
~unavailing until late in the afternoon,
when she was attacked by a violent
headache. She was given a sedative,
and then she retired to her chamber,
requesting that she be called as soon
as there appeared to be any change
for the worse.
For the past two days Senator Han
ma had not been conscious except at
intervals and then only to obey me-
chemically some instructions give
him by the physicians. Fourteel
hours before the end was announced,
life was almost suspended. the flicker
ing spark being kept aglow by the most
powerful scientific agencies. Five
minutes before death came. General
Charles a. Dick came from the bed
side with the announcement: He is
worse and has only a few minutes at
the most"
That statement Immediately pre-
faced the last official bulletin, which
was:

ing the afternoon and died quietly at

General Dick and Governor Herrick
the PRINCIPAL Candidates.

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-THE Repub-

effort to prevent a contest over the
election Of a successor to the late
Senator Hanna and q strong influence
will be brought to bear on Governor
Herrick to this end. Events are NOV
ing rapidly, however, and despite the
desire to keep the senatorial success
sion in the background for the pres
ent the lines are already practically
drawn. The active political adherents
Of the late Senator Hanna In Toledo,
Cleveland and Columbus are outspok-
en- for the selection of General Charles
Dick. The friends of Senator Foraker
are lining up for Governor Herrick,
whose election to the senate would
place Lieutenant Governor Warren S.
Harding, a Foraker man, at the head
of the party in the state.
A Hanna leader declared to be true
the report that Senator Hanna short
ly before his death expressed the de-
sire that he should be succeeded by
General Dick. This request from the
dying senator will weigh strongly with
a large number Of the members of the
legislature.

or at the White House and his visits
had been frequent since Mr.. Roose-
welt succeeded to the presidency.
President Roosevelt entertained a
cordial regard for Senator Hanna and
the senator cordially reciprocated that
feeling. Their personal regard was
based on the hrmest respect. While
they differed at times. as strong men
may differ, their personal relations
never were endangered by the differ
ences. Indeed. so high was the re-
gard In which the president held Mr..
Hanna's
Ability as a Political Manager
and az a potent force in national af-
fairs, that a few months ago he re-
