CLEVELAND. April l6-The following
statement is given to the associated
press by James q. Morrow, editor Of the
Cleveland Leader, newspaper which,
perhaps, more nearly represents Mckin-
icy than does any other paper:
Persons who profess TO be conspicu-
Gus members of the A. P. A. have given
circulation to the statement that Hon.
William Mckinley is member of the
Ancient Order of HIbernians; thst Mr..
Hanna, who is Mr.. McKinley's personal
and political friend. Is a Roman Cstho-
lie, and that MIR. Boyle, Mr.. McKiniey's
private secretary, is also Catholic, and
finally, that while Mr.. Mckinley was
Governor OF Ohio. bis appointments were
largely made from the membership OF a
certain religious denomination. 1t Is
urged, therefore, that Mr.. Mckinley is
not the right kind OF man.
This statement is untrue 10 part and
IN whole. Mr.. McKinley's Americanlsm
reaches back to thu war for indepen-
dence. William Mckinley himself was
private in the Union army while yet a
boy, snd carried a musket for four years.
He is a member OF the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and has been a member ct
thst denomination nearly all his life.
His ancestors and his family for two
generations have been Protestant Metho-
dists and Presby terlans.
'At this time Mr.. Mckinley is one OF
the trustees of the First Method Epis-
copal Church of Canton, O; moreover,
Mr.. Mckinley is not a member of the
A. .. IL. nor the A. p. A. However, he
is Free Mason, Comrade of the @. A. r.
a member OF the Union Veterans Urion,
Sons ct the American Revolution, of the
Loyal Legion and of college fraternity.
And these are the only secret societies
with which Mr.. Mckinley has any con-
nectlon whatever. The charge that bis
appointments to office while be was Gov
srnor OF Ohio we're largely made from
the Roman Catholic church or any
otner church is ridiculous and untrue.
He believes all men should be permitted
TO worship God in the manner that
squares with conscience.
II am authorized to say that Mr.. Nc
Ainley knows nothing whatever about
he appointment OF q committee from |
my organization to visit him in Canton. |
lie has never rrfused to meet any per
ION or any committee OF any kind, nor
ieclinei to have any mmittee inter |
'lsw him upon any subject whatever.
It should be also stated that Mr.. Hanna |
md Mr.. Boyle are lifelong members of |
De Protestant Episcopal church.
Il make this statement in behalf OF |
ne truth, so that every American citizen |
nay Know the exact facts"
