Exactly Senator Perkins Sentiments.
Senator Perkins: 'I think it is a gem. 1t
is expressive of true Republicanism and
has the right kind of a ring. I think
every Republican and every conservative
Democrat will indorse the sentiments ex.
pressed. 1t will make an excellent docu-

three or four days work to enable them
to provide for their families.
"If Mckinley is elected the country, in
my opinion, will become so prosperous
that capital will be looking around again
for investments"

E. 0. Tuttle. ex-Deputy Collector of the
Port, said: "McKinley's letter OF accept
ance is just the kind of document would

fully, it gave me a great admiration for
the man. thought then, and / think
