The career of Mr.. Hanna started in
the same humble way as that OF many
a man who has left his impress on
the country's history. In his youth
after a limited education. he became
a clerk in grocery store in CIeve-
land.
Turned to Trade
While weighing sugar and selling salt
over the counter, young Hanna turned
his mind TO the ore-carrying trade %

the large waterfront cities Of that part
of the country. He had acquired the
habit OF working hard and 81 deve.oping

came within the range OF his vision
Here he saw the opportunity which
lifted fortune from before the very
eyes OF all his predecessors and con-
temporaries by a consolidation OF these
properties. He became the head OF the

In all his larger political career two
sharp characteristics Of Senator Hanna
have been illustrated: self-effacement

power through some other man
In his home life Mr. Hanna was even
more the kindly and considerable man
than was popularity suspected His
thoughtfulness and consideration for

In Political Life.
Mr. Hanna's entrance into political
affairs grew from the conviction that all
business men and interests controlling
large industrial concerns should take
an active part in public affairs. and give
their country the benefit of their exper-
fence and judgment. II was this. in
addition TO HIS peryonal admiration and
respect for Mr.. Mckinley. that induced
him to devote his whole time for more
than two years TO his nomination and
election
Mr.. Hanna took charge OF Major
McKlnleys preliminary canvass for the

was also the central figure in the second
successful Mckinley canvass in 1900.
Mr.. Hanna organized and controlled
many Industries, employing q large
number OF men-at one time as high
as 5000 He always sought TO obtain
the confidence and respect OF his en-
