Representative Meeker said he bel
ieved 1t would be difficult to obtain a
constitutional amendment which would
extend to the citizens of the District
the same privileges as those enjoyed
by citizens of the states, but that he
thinks some kind of a limited form of
suffrage could be established here.
The people of Washington should be
given the right to nominate by means
of a preferential vote the heads of the
city government, he said. The actual
appointing could then be done by those
vested with this power. as a present. 1t
should be understood. however. that
the appointments should be in accord
ance with the results of the prefer
ential vote, Representative Meeker
said.

JOHN B. HANNA CLAIMED
BY DEATH IN BALTIMORE
Prominent Maryland Republican
Editor and Several Times
State Chairman.

BALTIMORE. Nd, May 1O-John B.
Hanna, chairman of the industrial ac-
cident board, and one of the leading
republicans of Maryland. died yester-
day afternoon of typhoid fever at the
Union Protestant 1nfirmary. He had
been patient at the hospital since
April S. With him when he died were
his son, w. Finley Hanna, and his two
daughters.
Mr.. Hannas illness, which ended in
his death, began with an attack of the
grip three months ago. In his weak
ened condition he became an easy prev
to disease of almost any sort, and a
few days before his removal to the
hospital his physician, DIR. Henry B.
Thomas. discovered that he had devel-
oped case of typhoid. On Monday
night the crisis came, and with il A
rallied, and died at 4:20 O'Clock yes
terdaX, afternoon.
The death of Mr.. Hanna removes
from the political life of Maryland a
man who always stood for decency and
order and who marked force for
good in the republican party. He was
not a noticeably strong man, nor
brilliant or aggressive one, but he was
clean, straight and intelligent. In his
mental makeup he was conservative
his judgment was good, his convictions
were strong, and he was always will
ing to stand Up for them.

Stood for Right and Justice.

| In his management of his party's af-
| fairs in Maryland as chairman of the
state central committee he stood un-
f1inchingly for what he believed was
right and just and fair, and while
some of his party associates thought
he was not practical" enough and
that in his efforts to be straight he
leaned backward. yet the party did
well under his management.
Mr.. Hanna had made his own way in
the world and his rise to power and
influence in his party was due to his
own efforts. He came of democratic
stock. his father. William Finney Han
ma, having been one of thep rominent
figures in the democratic party in Har-
ford county generation ago. Other
members of his family and his rela-
tives were also democrats. He, how
ever, thought things out for himself.
and while still boy declared his pref
erence for the republican party.
Mr.. Hanna served four years as sur
veyor of the port of Baltimore, in the
meantime discontinuing his active
work in politics. At the close of his
term, in 1902. he returned to 'Belair
and acquired the Belair Times, which
publication was controlled by him from
that time until his death.

DR.. Woodward's Statement,

DR.. Woodward said that while the
PRONUNCIATION of the regulations will
work hardship in certain cases, it is
believed that the acts which they for
bid are dangerous to the community in
that they tend to spread tuberculosis
If this be true the hardship that NAV
be imposed upon Individual patients
suffering from tuberculosis by the pro
mitigation of these regulations will be
less than the hardship that will re-
suit from failure to promulgate them ."
DR.. Woodward expressed the hone
that there would be sufficient COM
munity expression of opinion to guide
the Commissioners in determining their
action in the case. He also suggeste ed
that the authority of the Commission
ers to promulgate such a, law be re-
ferred to the corporation counsel for
an opinion.

came in the way of handsomely en-
graved invitation asking him to be
present at little surprise party to be
given the President at the summer
capital at Shadow Lawn at the west
end of Long Branch, New Jersey, a

he was re-nominated As it is planned
to keep the matter quiet the sheriff is
advised to slip in quietly by way of
New York and for goodness sake not
to let any of the members of the Presi-
dents family know anything about it.
Sheriff Andy admits that he is going,
but the members of his family appear
to be little skeptical and declare
that they will arrange a surprise party
for him at home if he just must at
tend some social function on that day

eight years ahead of his party" It
was expected that Senator Norris
would give part of his time to the
discussion of national issues and the
election of Hughes, but he limited
himself to "boosting for Bobn as he
denominated his address
Before Senator Norris was introduc-
ed former State Senator William H.
Hatton, who is seeking the Republican
nomination for governor, spoke at
length on state issues He amplifed
his "Social Justice speech which he
had delivered at the same corner two
weeks ago and spent the better part Of
an hour criticising the administration.
He had much to say in regard to the
work of boards and commissions in the
state and spoke along the same lines
which had been followed by former
Governor MeGovern earlier in the
week. He had much to say in regard
to the work of the industrial commits
sion and asserted that this commission
was bringing the cooperation which
was building Wisconsin as one of the
great manufacturing states of the ma
ton He spoke at length on the work
of the Railroad Commission and de-
clared that the present administration
would get rid of the Railroad Commits
sion and turn its work over to the
Interstate Commerce Commission. This
was a new line of attack on the adj
mlnistration and it caused some specu-
lation among the men who mahe up
the audience of the former senator.
Mr.. Hatton was rather vigorous in his
defense of the former progressive adj
mlnlstrations in the state, but he kept
away from statistics and his talk was
largely in generalities. His appeal
was made to the men who work.
1t was cold night for a political
meeting and the crowd which at no
time numbered over two hundred peo-
ple-even when real live United
States senator mounted the etsoap
box '-seemed to be effected by the
weather There was little applause for
either of the speakers and the people
seemed to lack interest in the campaign.
