An early and conclusive evidence
Of his prompt recognition in the SEN

election. The legislature met in Janu-

influence was set to work against him,
and he was reelected by a bare ma
Ijarity.

tor pressed his name for the presiden-
tial nomination, but before the state
convention to name delegates met he
withdrew, and Mckinley delegates

members of that body. When he of.

Porto Rican house bill last March he
struck popular chord thruout the
country.
