Campaign Slogans
Turning Back RE Pages Of NatIenql OonOsntions

This unprecedented tribute brought the
expected applause, followed by laughter
and derisire tshouts from the gallery,
"Turntit around" request that excited
more laughter when it was solemnly
obeyed.
From the start of the sessions the
gold men were beaten in each clash, by
reason OF Bryan's dominating person
atty, rather than because Of silver SEN
timent. When the plank was finally
pushed through, Hill remarked: This
is imperialism of the worst sort" Sell
dom has there been more convincing
example of the ability of one man to
force his viii upon others. f
The true feeling Of the convention
found expression when Senator Till
man, in one of his Enthusiastically
fiery harangues arraigned the course
Of the administration in Cuba and the
Philippines and declared anti-imperial-
ism to be the paramount issue.
The delegates were prepared for a
demonstration. Cheers Of unfeigned
approval greeted this declaration as
small flags and colored plumes were
waved from floor and galleries. On
each flag was marked device, "The
constitution and the flag are INSOFAR
able now and forever. The flag of the
republic forever, of an empire never"
During the demonstration huge flag
was unrolled above the platform, bear.
ing the inscription, Constitutional gov.
eminent derive their just powers from
the consent Of the governed" Anti.
imperialism became the slogan of the
unsuccessful campaign against William
Mckinley.
In his long political career it il
doubtful i. Hill had more distasteful
task than th4s Of seconding the nomi
nation Of Bryan. He met the necessity
gracefully.
