The next stop was at Independence,
where one of the largest crowds OF the
days trip was assembled TO greet the
President. Mr. Mckinley, in his speech,
pointed ogt nat the sovereignty the United

and continued:
The sovereignty OF the United States
in the Philippines cannot be given away
py President That sovereignty belongs
to the people, and so long as it is opr
territory, and so long as it is sovereignty,
the President of the United States has but
one duty TO perform, and that is 10 main
tain and establish the authority of the
United States in those islands He could
not do less and perform his duty. And

more means and more sinews of war viii

DODGEVILLE. Wis. Oct 1.-THE long
est stop in Iowa was made at Dubuque,
where the Presidential party remained half
an hour. The President and his associates
were driven TO the public square in the
centre of the city where Mr.. Mckinley
addressed about 2,0e0 people. Besides these
there were thousands on the street between
the station and the public square. More
people were seen in this city than at any
point of the trip after Minneapolis was
passed, and the speech OF the President
was greeted with the most enthusiastic
cheers. Mr.. Mckinley praised the patriot
ism of the State, saying in part:
You not only served and sacrificed for
the Union in the Civil War, giving up
many of the best young men of the State
on the altar OF country that the Union
might be preserved, but in the war with
! Spain this State, almost the first Of the
Federal Union, answered TO the call OF the
! Government. There was NO halting and
there was no hesitation. Your full quota

eager and anxious to enlist. All of your
soldiers did not have service on the firing
line. but they did their whole duty.

cne, and the applause which greeted
President McKinley's remarks was most
enthusiastic and frequent. Mr.. Mckinley
said:
THE voice of partisanship is hushed to-
day and the voice of patriotism is alone
heard in the land. We know neither party

common flag We are all one in the pres

are no divisions among us whenever our

soever. We have gone through a war
( the celebrity OF which and the results OF
which are scarcely recorded IN any other
war in history. The American arms
triumphed on land and sea with unpre-
cedented exemption from disease and death
