 The president has received novel suggestion from George T. Dougherty. ! Cf Chicago, who says: The United States went to war to set Cuba free. l Now we have 1t in our power to libef- ! ate another country of far greater i'm 1 DoI It3nce and interest without going to war.

This is a golden op- pGrtunity for President Mckinley to undertake sIEch a deal and cover him. self and the Amer1c3n ps3p!e with glory.

Nowhere else in the country is so much dissatisfaction expressed.
