plause) That is an example of patriot
ism that should be an inspiration to duty
to all Of us in every part of our common
country"
The speech of President Mckinley at
Bushnell was as follows:
My fellow-citizens: l thank you for
this warm welcome. I thank the chill
dren of the schools for coming to give me
greeting with the flag of our country in
their hands. The last two years have
registered not alone our martial triumph,
but have recorded equal triumphs in
peace. We have not only overcome in the
war with Spain, but we have overcome
the enemies of prosperity and scattered
their forces, and to-day the United States
is enjoying an era of prosperity unprece-
dented in our history. No man rejoices

firesides of seventy millions of my coun-

to the present the citizens of the United

any cost the flag and the honor of the na-

Recent events have called attention
sharply to the defects in the present
method of electing United States Sena-
tors.
When the vote Of member of the
Legislature for Senator is determined by
the source from which he derives the
funds with which 10 conduct his legis-
lative campaign. or by the promised vote
of some colleague FOR some pet measure
or candidate, IT would seem that the time
had arrived when the method OF elcctng
Senators should he changed. Certainly
such methods were never contemplated.
nor would they be approved by the
trainers Of the article Of the Constitution
Of the United states bearing upon this
subject.
Such considerations have led me 10
favor the election Of Senators 10y the
direct vote Of the people
The trend Of events seems 70 indicate
that in the near future. the United States
Constitution will be amended IN this re-
spect.
Until this can be done some method
should be adopted 10 ascertain the will
of the people in the selection Of a Sena-
tor. and 10 name a candidate for the
Senate who will vote for the proposed
change in the Constitution.
The aggregate intelligence Of the pro-
posed meeting in Richmond on Nav 10th
will determine, but these results can
best be accomplished
