Presidency casts its shadow on no man
but once and that IL the chance be
missed then 1t viii never come again.
Twice the Republican nomination
seemed to be within Mckinley's reach
in the National Conventions Of 1SSS
n 1899. Each time he put Il away.
! content to wait his proper turn, when
he did not have to shake the tree TO
bring down the ripened fruit Of his
patience.
The truth IS not well enough under
stood that this greatest OF political
prizes is not to be won by u%nbashful
wooing. In reality. our highest office
oftener has sought the man. Seldom
Is it captured by those who seek Il
most-as for example. Clay. Webster.
Cass. Douglas. Seward, Blaine. Shc-
man. Bryan.
