October 28, 1900, . Campaigning With Hanna in Nebraska When Senator Hanna speech in Omaha concluded his last Saturday night, a week ago, he had delivered thirty-five speeches in Nebraska, had covered 470 miles of terri tory in forty-eight hours and had spoken to 40,000 people In that time he had been hailed as the modern Joshua who could command the sun to stand still, bhad been assailed as a labor crusher, a child stealer and the man with horns and cloven feet, The physical endurance required on the part of the senator to cover the territory he did and make the number of speeches those who 1ccompanied him in his swing through My cannot be appreciated except by dryan's home state. As a worker with a definite purpose in view, that of dissipating the impressions formed of him by the cartoonist’'s pencil and plecing the principles of the repub lcan party succinctly before the people Senator Hanna stands without question the be campaigner we have had since the days of Blaine Hanna's discovery of him self as a speechmaker 18 of very recent date, Until his memorable debate with Senators Tillman and Allen on the ques- tion of reducing the price of armor plate or the building of a government factory for the manufacture of the same to equip the vessels now on the ways, he was little given to speechmaking, contenting himself with not day long when Fillman and the comnmittes him, arers doing things But dreaming them all the debate Allen took to the and of the republican national left the senate with a new honor having unhorsed of the in the er branch of reason of knowing things at having acquired a knowl plate from government re committee investigations It role for Senator Hanna, but he like a past ter of his art and went in proportion.

Irish when he followed in the wake of Mr. Bryan just four years ago on November § Through- out his audiences were interested, not oniy in the man himself, but in what he had to say. Here and there an attempt was made to stampede the senator, but the hoodlums were cried down, and generally he was shown true courtesy for which Nebraska is famous. To the tireless, persistent, enthusiestic public man, who more in the of the picture than any of his contemporaries, the changes in the tem- per of the populace were noteworthy, and Senator Hanna seemingly never grew tired of talking about the treatment accorded him and the orderly conduct of the crowds that came for miles around to hear him and his colleague, Senator William P.

Usually Senator Hanna was out of bed first, ready for another day's speechmak- ing and handshaking, enjoying to the full the crisp, bracing air of the October morn- ings, his cheery voice and his smile, that 80 nearly resembles a sunburst, driving away the shadows about the train ana putting every one in rare good humor for another day's arduous labor.
