today to call on Major Mckinley was from
West Newton, Pa. The visitors brought with
them bands of music and a drum corps. The
spokesman for the first section was Mr.. Van
dyke. To his words Major Mckinley re-
%sponded, saying he had not expected to meet
the people of Westmoreland county In Sec
tons. He had supposed they would come
to see him in a united body, and that he
might have an opportunity of addressing
them all together. But" he said, 1T seems
there are so many republicans this year
that when they make a Journey they have
to come in sections" daughter and cries

He then compared the great prosperity Of
West Newton four years ago under protec-
ton with the depressed conditions that pre-
vail now under democratic laws, and pro-

in the factory or the farm, and to preserve
the American mines and the American fac

there is of a protective tariff. We want

American conditions and European condi-

sued by the republican party ever since it
came into power.
Then, we want, my fellow citizens. to

do not want any cheap money any more

Its purposes; they are an open book. Its
great central idea has been the
welfare of the people and
all the people and every principle that IL
has ever advocated has embraced the high

OF the republican party for nearly a third

advocates its principles no less in defeat
than In victory and these principles TODAY
are dearer to the American people than they

us, best for our labor, best for our wages,
best for cur mines, best for our factories

best for our children. Let your ballot rep
