Aho prceiuoub LuebsaKo IL uibappOlnJ-
ing to the majority Of our citizens.
Party politics do not necessarily color
their views, as the most conservative OF
our people unite in saying IL was a weak
document. The following interviews
with our prominent citizens show how
they view the message:
DR.. R. L. Newsom-The presidents
message is weak. 1t does not meet the
wants of the people. The feeling OF dis.
appointment is 30 apparent that congress
will take the Cuban matter entirely out
of his hands. 1t relegates McKinley's
chances for the denomination TO the
rear. He had an excellent opportunity
to distinguish himself and become one
Of the "immortals."
c.. W Moorman-The president acted
unwisely and his message is a source OF
regret 10 the people.
Capt J. H. Rowland-The message
was number one state paper and the
president acted wisely.
F. Fraize tersely said The message
was not the verdict Of the people.
H. A. Oelze-The message ia disap-
pointing. 1t was not to the point. II
did not dwell strongly enough on the
Maine affair. Hostilities between this
country and Spain are very remote.
Thomas @. Tousey-M Mckinley is in
the hands of "Hanna" and that gang. II
is the weakest message ever sent TO con.
gress.
Eugene Vest-President Mckinley
lacks nerve. There is not enough back
bone to his message.
Mike Hamman-In my estimation the
presidents message is all right.
Postmaster Wilson-The message Il
all right. 1t follows established prece
dents and the dictates of the constitution
Uncle 81 Lillard-It is not my kind o
message.
John Jennings-The presidents mes
sage is tame. 1t does not meet with
public approval. If the president doei
does not see fit to acknowledge Cubar
independence be should not ask for an
appropriation to feed the people on the
island.
Alex Boyd-The president has misleC
the people. He should not tax thei
patience. am not in favor Of war I'M
less it is necessary to bring about peace
DR.. F. M. Smith-The message suit
me exactly. President Mckinley ha
acted wisely.
Geo. W. Short-I am puzzled as to tn,
influence brought to bear on the presi
dent. Congress and the Senate wer'
disappointed, but perchane, were ]
placed in the same position l would
have acted likewise.
Hon. David X. Murray-McKinleys
message is not the expression of the pa
triotism, pride or sense of humanity o
justice OF the American people 1t SEEM
to have the aroma Of Wall street about |
II the course OF Spain has been wha
he says it has been, then it justi6es, an,
the honor of humanity dictates, a vigor
GUS policy.
NJ. w. Mitchell The message doe
not satisfy the people. 1 expected it :
be more radical. 1t is rehash of irrele
want precedent A fash in the pan.
Dr. S. B. Adkisson-The message |
conservative. Let US get out OF war hon
orably if we eau 1t beats fighting.
A r. Fisher-I am unable 10 6nd any
thing in the message,
John Lillard-Fully SO per cent of th'
people are against it.
John Hall-The message is weak.
did not justify the anxiety that the pee
pie displayed in waiting for It.
