Major McKinley's nomination is inevitable. The
meeting Of the Republican State Committee last
week and its Endorsement Of Mr.. Morton reminds
me Of the story Of the bank president who
scrutinized a bank check and then said: 1t
looks bad on IT'S face, but when you turn it over
and look at its Endorsement it becomes abso-
!utely worthless"
