man is no doubt Mckinley. He has been properly

try under his leadership will again prosper our
factories and manufactures will be running full
time Our receipts will at least be equal to our
expenditures and all questions Of deals for bonds
with syndicates will be things Of the past. His
Administration will hurt foreign manufacture and
to the same extent benefit our own. He Is the en-
bod.ment of all that is purely American His
mind and ideas have been developed In the broad
and boundless West, and not allied with any
Wall Street clique. 1t Is well enough to give favor
tie sons a complimentary ballot But the conyen-
