Dear Editor. Major Mckinley took his place
as President on the 4th of March, 1897 He
lives now in the White House. We think he
is true, honest President and think he will
do good for his country We hope he will be
like Washington and praise and love his peO-
pie and then all of his countrymen will love
him. His mother did not expect to see him
President OF the United States. 1t is great
Joy for her to have reared her son to be the
head of this great Nation. We hope in four
years from now he will still please us by being
wise, and I feel sure he is the very best man
for the place. wrote this because am Nc
Kinley boy and wish a lot of gold.
