Even the poorest fool in the nation
McKinley's course in waiting till ample
preparations had been made before
striking Il decisive blow In Cuba. To
illustrate, suppose that Sampson had
been defeated by Cervera and Shafter
driven back in utter out by Linares,
it would then have been necessary for
the Americans to equip another mill
tary expedition and another fleet to
send against the Spaniards. and mean
while the Cubans would have been
routed and utterly disheartened. They
would have entirely lost their conf
dence In the prowess Of Uncle San and
doubtless would have been ready to lay
down their arms and submit to the
heartless and tyrannical government Of
Spain. But how different under exist
ing conditions. By the wise policy OF
President Mckinley everything was
ready before the strike was made.
Dewey has captured the Philippines,
Sampson has annihilated Cervera and
Santiago is at the mercy OF Smarter.
TIE great achievements Of the Ameri-
can navy and army are being discussed
around the world and there are none
too lofty to give us praise. President
Mckinley, the man with the keen fore
sight and cool calculating wisdom OF
a great statesman, is at the helm. n
the country is in the van Of civilization
and glory. People Of all political par
ties should lay aside their perjudice
and give credit to William Mckinley
for his devotion to duty. his d
and his patriotism.
