KANSAS CRY, Oct. 2.-Governor Mo-
Kinlsy reached this city at about Q
O'Clock this morning, on a special train
from st. Louis. Mayor Barnes Of Kan
sas City. Kan, came from st. Louis
with him, and a reception committee.
composed of Mr.. Charles Sohattner Of
the Republican state committee, Mr..
Jarvis Harkless, president of the Mis-
souri, League Of Republican clubs. Mr..
E. @. Edwards, managing editor of the
Kansas City Journal. and ex-Congress-
man Warner, met him a few miles out
OF the city. The morning was spent in
receiving callers at the hotel and driving
about the city.
Whea Governor Mckinley went to the
stage entrance OF tbs Auditorium at 2 80
O'Clock. he found it necessary to make
full use Of his physical strength to get
in, for the crowd in front of the door
was 80 tightly packed together that
such thing az making room was ont Of
the question. The stage, too, was jam-
med, and he had to fairly force his way
through, assisted by several strong
armed men, and when he finally reached
the footlights he looked out upon
tnrong that filed all the seats and aisles
and even utilized the ventilating open
ing around the dome as places of obser-
vation, while far out into the street
stood struggling mass OF people who
strove in vain to secure admission into
the building.
A great roar OF welcome went up from
-
their hsndkerchiefs and men howled,
and those outside took up the cry and
echoed it through the streets. McKin-
ley WAS given sample of genuine west
ern cordiality.
Mayor Davis introduced the governor
in rather forid speech. in which he
eulogizsd Ohio and its famous citizens,
and said that unless the signs of the
timss we're wrong it's present governor
would, two years hence, be the leader of
the Republican hosts. This sentiment
was vigorously applauded. In his hrst
sentence Governor Mckinley struck q
responsive chord.
Proud as / am" he began, ito be an
Ohioan, am prouder yet to be an
American"
Then he proceed ed with his speech.
81 have come among you this alter
noon to talk with you little while
concerning the great political questions
that are upon us this year, and to die
cuss with you and before you the rela-
tion of those questione to the business
interests OF the country. Politics this
year is pusineDs, and business is pol
itca."
References made to ex-Presidsnt Har-
rison, Hon. Thomas B. Reed Nnd the
Into q q Riana QG tbQ hiat0rv of
the Republican tariff legislation was
cited, were were warmly applauded. as
was the observation that I'VE have not
single commercial competitor in the
civilized world that does not rejoice
over the passage of the Wiluon law"
The governor found a sub bjec. f.,r re-
Election in the fact that Mr.. Wilson had
to go to foreign country to get con-
gratulstions for the passage of the tsriff
law which bears his name, and when
some one in the audience sang out that
the only industry which had been called
into existence by the Wilson law was
that of free soup housee, Mckinley re-
sponded: There is not an American
citizsn but would rather earn his own
soup than to beg it of others; and un-
der the policy OF the Republicans we
never had to have free soup houses, for

work, and he had his own soup at his
own table.
"Senator Vest told you last night
story about a dog which came by ex-
press and nobody could tell where it
came from or who it was for. because il
had eaten its tag. He applied the story
to the Populst party, but he might bet-
ter have applied it to this Wilson law.
Everybody disowns it, and yet you are
asked to approve OF it, Why. the DEM
ocracy of New York disowned it for
mally and officially when it nominated
for governor of that state, Mr.. David b.
Hill, the only Democratic mem Der of
the senate who voted against it.
Mexican ores are just arriving; Aus
tralian wool coming in by the cargo;
every foreign product upon which the
duty was reduced under the Wilson law,
is coming into this country in unusual
quantities. and every foreign product
that comes into this country in compe-
tition with our own, displaces just so
much OF American products. And,
when those are displaced, the American
labor required to make them is dis-
placed and vet they ask the working
men Of the United States to approve by
their votes, the Wilson law. Whois
in 1922"
"Oaly the congreeHmsn," promptly
responded somebody in the audience.
Yes" retorted Governor Mckinley,
"and it is becauae the congressman have
been employed at tearing down the de-
lenses of protection that there is no
work for anyone else. When l spoke in
this city two years ago. gentleman in
the gallery wanted TO know what I
thought OF the eight-hour law; eues-
tion then among workmen WAS how to
reduce the honrs OF labor. Laughter
and applause.
There is no trouble OF that kind now.
The workingmen are not looking tor
shorter houis.now; they are looking for
longer boprs."
Some inq qiistive individual asked:
"What's the matter with the a. r. A. 2"
The interruption WAS not we'll -.
