ed as strongly advocating the renomi-
nation of President Mckinley and Vice
President Hobart. The interview says:
Senator Plat said that all the criti-
cism which had been flung at Mr.. Nc
Kinley cannot alter facts and that the
President has conducted in magnificent
style the shortest and most decisive
war of modern times and simply as
tonished the old world by the way in
which he did it.
"'This general satisfaction contin-
ued Senator Platt, has had undoubted
demonstration by the Presidents re-
ception wherever he has been. With
out shadow of doubt he will be
nominated and elected.

than it ever was. Vice President Ho-
bart will be reelected with Mckinley.
He is my choice for Vice President
just as Mckinley is for President. AS
for the Democratic party, it has only
one issue-silyer-and that has been
repudiated by the entire country.
