ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO FRIEND
Michael Bitter, the Man Who First
Introduced the President Into
Politics Thirty-Five
Years Ago.

On a dry goods box feet long, 8 feet
wide and feet high, President Mckinley
made his first political speech in the lit
tie town of New Berlin away back in
1865, says a Canton, Ohio, special to the
New York Sun. The box stood in front
of house which has since been burned
and just outside the gate of a wooden
fence, within 100 feet of the four corners
Of the business center. The man who in
troduced him to his first audience lives in
new brick house, built within ten feet
of the location Of the dry goods box
which supported the president on that
night.
Can you make speech?" said Michael
Bitter to William Mckinley, when the
latter arrived from Canton, ready to fol-
low Judge Underhill upon the improvised
stage.

night he introduced William Mckinley as

away for moment, but on the assurance
Of Judge Underhill that Mr.. Bitter meant
