This reads us il it was intended fol

not know that the Palmer and Buckncr
movement is nothing else and was
never intended to be anything else but
an adjunct of McKinleyism? 1t is eN-

will be supported by democrats who dc
not want to support free coinage, but
who could not be induced under any cir

the leaders of the movement, even 10

republican candidates, because it is for
