We have given in brief the statement
By Judge Day. It Is a matter in which
the American people is interested. The
memorial TO be erected should be one
rejecting the grandeur Of the nation
in whose services Mckinley gave his
lie Il should be reared by popular
Subscriptions as an evidence Of the
estimation in which he was held. The
work Of collecting funds should be done
without unnecessary delay too Let
there be a monument to the departed
one. worthy of the American people and
the twentieth century.
