Insurance Co., New York: "Republi-
canism stands for all that will benefit
trade, commerce and the Industrial
welfare of the entire country"
Morgan Green. cashier OF the Bank
of Mckenzie, Mckenzie, Tenn: 81
will cast my first Republican vote this
fall for Mckinley and Roosevelt and
the straight Republican ticket / have
voted the Democratic ticket for thirty
years without a scratch. and have
campaign fund. voted against
because believed that the gold
standard would take away what
money was In circulation. This was
what my party said would be the re-
suit, and believed 1t. Mr.. Mckinley
was elected, and all have profited by
the result. The gold standard re-
stored confidence and opened the mills,
furnaces and shops and farms. l do
not propose to experiment any more
[ am going to vote for the policy that
Drospered us under Harrison and Nc
Kinley. From this day l am an all
wool. yard-wide Republican"
Jay Williams, leading attorney.
Salisbury, Md: II could not vote for
VIM. ]. Bryan in the presidential
,ampaign Of 1896. l have now the
same reason for declining to vote for
Mr.. Bryan. His letter of acceptance
and oft-repeated declarations on the
subject show his desire to give us free
silver at the ratio of 16 to l just as
soon as he can. I have been pleased
with the present administration, with
the progress we have made under it.,
with the present splendid financial
condition Of this country"
w. s. MeChesney, ST., vice-presi-
dent of the Mexican Veterans Asso-
citation and postmaster Of Lexington.
Ky, under Grover Cleveland, will sup
port Mckinley in the presidential race
this year. Mr.. McChesney has been a
consistent Democrat for years and was
led to take this step by Mr.. Bryan's
attitude on the question Of imperialism"
He says: THE soldiers and honor Of
our country should follow the nag. No
patriotic citizen can fail to support the
party that Is for the prosecution of
the struggle to the end. We veterans
are for fighting 1t out when we begin.
When the Philippines are brought un-
der control and the honor of the flag
vindicated 1t will then be time enough
to talk of the kind of government
they can have"
John F. Moors, Fall River. Mass:
Il am sound money Democrat and an
anti-imperialist. Let the nation
dream great dreams, let it seek high
ideals, but let 1t not forget that the
rule of 100000 people is mighty
responsibility. not to be idly entrusted
to a young man with Authorizations,
who always appears with a cure-all.
Do not Bryan's managers smile as he
changes his bait and draws into his
net the anti-imperialists?"
John +. Vale, Denver, Colo: st
is manifest that the present Democrat
ic idea is not bimetallism, but infia-
ton, with fat imitation preferred.
True bimetallists look to the shelters
and the stamp mills, and not to the
pulp mills, for money material"
w. H. Bright, formerly Of the Daily
Times, Portsmouth, o., who has been
an active Democrat for many years:
Prosperity
Col. James Matlack Scovel, Of Phil
adelphia, the veteran of many a
Democratic campaign: THE admin
istration is all right. Bryan is dem
agogue."
John Gregor Olson of Fort Ransom,
N. D., one Of the brightest young
Scandinavians in the country, has
abandoned the Bryan cause. Mr.. Oh
son is teacher and farmer and is an
influential member Of the community.
Prosperity and expansion.
J. E. Defebaugh, editor American
Lumberman, Chicago: Mr.. Bryan is
well suited to the party and the prin-
ciples which he represents. His
prophecies, and even his absolute as
sertion of four years ago, have been
proved false, but he learns nothing.
He would subject the Supreme Court
to executive influence welded by HIM
self; he is the apostle of every finan-
cial fallacy; he is the champion of
every foolish or dangerous dogma; he
would be the promoter Of business and
social anarchy. Such principles, such
a party. and such a candidate, can
not support"
Ex-Assemblyman Lyman w. Red
ington, Of New York, bred-in-the-
bone Democrat: THE Philippines are
legally the property of the United
States and any of its natives opposing
our sovereignty are rebels. Hence l
maintain that legally, morally and
commercially our Philippine policy
must be maintained and the Democrat
&c party defeated in the campaign"
S. L. Smith. mine owner, Detroit,
Mich: -Four years ago l thought
Bryan was sincere. Now / think he
has proven himself an arrant dema-
gogue. am Democrat and Mr.. Jas.
