A report was circulated that Paul Z.
Werner, the millionaire president of the
Werner Publishing & Manufacturing
company, of Akron, had, on July 4,
called on President Mckinley, in Can
ton, and assured the president he
heartily indorsed his foreign policy and
would cid in any manner possible the
bringing about of his reelection.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Werner
sharply criticised the administration
for its policy relating to the war in the
Philippines during the campaign in
Ohio last fall, the story created sur
prise. When spoken to about the story
Mr.. Werner said: ...
THAT story is too ridiculous to .occa-
sion serious interest. My position rela-
tive to the Administrations foreign
policy Is too well known to make neces-
sary formal refutation OF the absurd
report I am opposed to the expansion
or so-called imperialistiC tendencies of
the administration. because I believe
that we have an enormous taea before
us foe many years to come In eXpending
and developing the resources OF our
own vast domain, which is, "a yet, very
<h1nly populated. II we're IN favor OF
imperialism I would want the genuine
