TRIBUTE TO HANNA
LEADER DESERVED WELL or HIS
COUNTRY.
In Twice Steering the Republican
Party to Victory His Service to
the People Was . Very
Great One.

The addresses at the unwilling Of
Mr.. Hanna's statue at Cleveland de-
scribed a worthy and most successful
man. We have not had in our affairs
. politician superior within the same
lines to the leader who twice steered
the Republican party to victory. I'm
trained In statecraft, unread in politi-
cal history, his life until he neared the
6O-year mark devoted to business pur-
suits, he came upon the scene at q
critical period for his party and for
the country. took charge Of his party's
campaign and won the battle. Draw
Ing senatorship as reward for-his
services. he at once became a leader
also In that field. and inveigled, as 1t
were. Into a discussion in the senate
one day he discovered to his own sur
prise that he possessed talents for de-
bate. and from that hour was account
ed a strong force In the list OF the SEN
ate's speakers. The record Is as strik-
Ing as unique.
1t is said of some historical person
ages that they died at a fortunate time
for their fame. This is the Judgment
fp Mr.. Lincoln's case, and in Mr.. Nc
Kinleys. Is 1t true also in Mr.. Han.
mas case?
Mr.. Hanna aspired to the presiden-
cy. and there were leaders in his party
VINO whetted his appetite for the Of
nee. They thought his time had come
In 1904, and he was persuaded himself
that there was call for him. He be-
xuff
ences, and they began the spreading
or Hanna literature" over the coun-
try.
This, as Mr. Hanna soon discovered
was q mistake. Mr. Roosevelt was the
man OF that hour, and i'm a firm but
friendly way he put the matter up to
Mr.. Hanna. with the result that the
latter retired from the field. Then fol.
lowed, to the general regret, Mr.. Han
mas death.
Rad Mr.. Hanna lived would his in
nuenee on public questions have in
creased or diminished during the past
four years? And would he to-day be a
quantity in the contest for the Chicago
nomination? Who may answer these
two questions with confidence? Mr..
Hanna and Mr. Roosevelt remained
friends to the end. But they differed
IN, and about, many things, and the
time since Mr.. Hanna died has been
marked by controversies which would
nave strained the relations of the two
men severely.
Mr.. Hanna died, therefore, with the
halo OF his big achievements bright
about his head. The country was still
ringing with his praises. His one check
ne had gracefully met. Had he lived
and received another, his bearing
might not have been so>successfuI. He
might have passed from the scene a
disappointed man, and not unwilling
that the public should know his feel
ihgs and his party feel his resent
ment.
