M - V @kv MvKy WILLIAM M’KINLEY DIED SEPT. 14TH, 1901. < The first anniversary of the death of President McKinley finds this dead chieftain of Republicanism and Americanism as much a living leader of hia party and his country as at any time during his public career. The Issues of this campaign link themselves to the memory of McKinley, because they are issues for which he stood, and of which he was, in part, the creator as well as the most distinguished exponent. His counsel has lost none of its weight with the American people. Here are some of his most character* istic sentiments: “The best statesmanship for America is that which looks to the highest interest of American labor and the highest development of American resources.” “The future is now our field; let us look to it; it opens with glorious possibilities and invites the party of ideas to enter and possess it.” “Protection has vindicated itself. It cjin not be helped by eulogy or hurt by defamation; it has worked its own demonstration and presents in the sight of the whole world its matchless trophies.” “Our flag is rightfully there; as rightfully there as the flag that floats above me is here; and it is there, not as the flag of tyranny or as the symbol of slavery, but it is there for what it is here and for what it is everywhere—justice and liberty and right and civilization.” “You do not have to guess what the Republican party will do. The world knows its purposes. It has embodied them in law and executed them in administration.”
