patriotism and prosperity. (Tramen-

You know people used to say that
Ohio was always in a state of perpetual
campaigning. Canton is in that state
just now, Gboisterous laughter and ap-
plause), and that the fall campaign
campaign was on, and so 1t went the
whole year round. Well, we are doing
better now, for Ohio has done away
with one of her elections. The old
state election in Ohio, which used to
point the way for the country to fol-
low, has permanently abandoned that
task to Oregon, Vermont and Maine.

Westinghouse Air Brake company,
could not find standing room. They
were marched on the lawn in the rear
of the house, and when Major Nc
Kiniey finished his speech to the dele
cation in the front yard he passed
swiftly through the house and spoke
from a side porch near the kitchen. Ma
jor Mckinley said:
GLAD AGAIN
II am glad to find you interested this
year in politics. 1 am glad to note that
you, with the rest of the people of the
country, are making politics this year
a business, because you have discover
ed during the last four years that pol
itics is business, and if you want good
business, you must have good politics
Great applause.) 1 observe in this
audience many young men. There
never was such a cause to fight for
since the days Of the war as that
which appears to the young men and
the old men of the country today-a
cause which invokes patriotism, ma
tional honor, public faith, law and or
der; all of which we value in gov
eminent of free people such as we
are" (Applause)
Major Mckinley had hardly seated |
himself in the house before a delegation |
from Piqua and other towns in Miami |

for the delegation was 7. M. Kyle, Of I
Troy Major Mckinley responded briefly |
as follows:
Il recall as stand before you today

the manufacture of tin. l recollect to
have been in that factory and dipped
one of the first pieces of tin that was
made there. You remember that at that
time they said we could not make lin

now, as everybody admits. There is
nothing the people in this country pro-

Henry S. Hill, made one of the mosG
carefully considered speeches of the

Major McKinley's response was spir-
tied. He said:
There is nothing more vital to
government like ours than the sanctity
Of the law. (Great applause.) 1t mus
