Show The Independent does not appear ,to approvo of the manner in which Senator Hanna Is shielding shield-ing the ex-assistant postmaster general, who camo as a gift of Providence to reside with us after a useful and industrious career In Washington. It says: "Mr. Hanna represents what is called 'the organization,' or-ganization,' whoso conscience sometimes seems to Ho dormant. As chairman of the committee, and the party's foremost practical politician, he must be regarded by the public as representing some of tho party's characteristics and tendencies. For some time past he has stood before the people as a protector of Heath, whom the entire country regards as a beneficiary of the statute of limitations, limita-tions, and tho defender of Rathbone, who disgraced dis-graced the American people by the offenses for which he was convicted in Cuba. "In this, because of his station now and his successful political leadership In tho recent past, ho sins persistently and stubbornly and foolishly against his party." |
