He said:
a word to you, and 1 speak in this campaign
not merely to Republicans; 1 appeal to all good
citizens who hold the Commonwealth dear; [
appeal to all in the whole land who value our
Welbeing home, to all who honor the flag
and wish to see it upheld in the face of all
the Powers OF the earth. This campaign is
more than party campaign This is a campaign
which is to decide, at the outset of the twen-
teth century. whether we are to stride forward
with the steps of a giant the path which has

trust them. Before, they prophesied misery if
we won. We won; and prosperity followed.
Now if should put them into power you

Zens and business men who disbelieve in an

faced four years of trial and privations and
hardships, and saw the best and bravest among

followed the advice of the weak hearted, we
could have avoided all the bloodshed and
trouble-the woe and misery that came to the

heads for ever.
Thank God, the iron and blood of our fore

exist in this generation. May we show our
selves not unworthy Of the who fought from
81 to So and let US do duty at home and
abroad and uphold Mr. Mckinley in the great
