GENERAL LEW WALLACE our for McKinley General Lew Wallace, of Craw fordsville, Ind., who has fre quently criticised the Republican administration, has declared in favor of re-electing President McKinley. He says: “I shall vote for Mr. McKin ley, nnd I shall vote for the en tire Republican ticket. I shall vote for Mr. McKinley because the thought of the election of Mr. Bryan is abhorrent to me for sev eral reasons. In the ilrst place, I hold the man insincere, for no candidate can take nominations from three parties without in tending to fool some ore in case of his election. “In the next place, Mr. Bryan’s financial policy is one which, if put in effect, would bring disas ter and ruin on the country. Free silver is a menace to the business interests of the country. “Finally, I am opposed to Mr. Bryan, as I hold him directly re sponsible for the death of every one of the brave American sol diers slain in the Philippines. It is the encouragement lieid out to the rebels by Mr. Bryan and others of his ilk that keeps up the struggle there. The war was over, but t lie sympathy and promises held out by Mr. Bryan have caused the fighting to break out afresh, and it will from this time until concluded be fraught with more disaster to our boys, for they have slowly and surely been teaching their adversaries how to fight. For each man who falls there, be he inspired by the sense of duty or the love of war, Mr. Bryan is responsible. The thought of electing such a man as this to the presidency is utter ly repugnant.” George B. Weston, Belehertown, Mass.: “I have voted the Democratic ticket since Franklin l'ierce was our | President, but the 'pull down the flag and sneak home' policy is too big a dose, and if I live I shall vote for Mc Kinley. Any American In whose soul dwells one spark of national pride who is willing to humiliate his country In the eyes of the world should he stood up and shot." M. F. Bitmgardner, farmer living near Ottawa, Kan.: "Four years ago 1 was for Bryan. 1 shall vote for Mc Kinley and the straight Republican ticket this fall. 1 am satisfied with conditions. 1 don’t want any change,” j J. T. Verkes, near Ottawa, Kan.: ‘‘Four years ago 1 voted for Bryan. I am satisfied with present conditions and think a change would be disas trous. 1 notice that all the Populist predictions of four years ago have proven false, and every promise the Republicans made has been kept.” Waller Marks, farmer near Ottawa, Kail.: “i was a Republican until four years ago. They got mo ‘off’ then, but they can't do it again. 1 was con vinced two months after McKinley's election that I had been misled. 1 have had enough of lfryauism to last Die.’’ II. F. Shively, Dine, Kan., a school teacher, and one of the most effective fusion workers in the campaign of 1896: ‘‘I voted for Bryan and the other fusion candidates. I shall vote the straight Republican ticket this fall. One or the causes for my change is the expansion issue.” (’has. McCumber, Lane, Kan., a far mer: "I voted for Bryan four year3 ago. I have always noticed that we have hard times when the Democrats are in and good times when the Re publicans ure In. 1 am done with the Democratic party.” J. C. Wakefield, banker, Dane, Kan., who supported Bryan four years ago, and who is a man of wide influence In his community, said: "Of course I shall vote the Republican ticket, this fall. There isn't anything else for a man to do.” B. C. Smith, farmer, near Ottawa, Kan.: "Count me for McKinley and the whole Republican ticket. I was a Bryan man in 1896, but you bet your life I’m cured.” William Archer, near Ottawa, Kan., a well-known farmer: "I have voted the Populist ticket for ten years; 1 have been a Populist ever since the party was organized. A farmer can't afford to vote for a change this year. 1 am going to vote the Republican ticket." J. B. Whitaker, near Ottawa, Kan., farmer: ‘‘I was a Republican until ten years ago. I left the party when 1 lived In Dakota and identified myself with the People’s party. I have a son who served In the Philippines with Company K. Any man who reads Gen. Lawton’s words to the people of this country in which he said, 'If 1 am killed by a Filipino bullet my death will lie at the door of the Fili pino sympathizers in America,’ and then votes the Democratic ticket, he is disloyal to his country. My sons were all Bryan sympathizers in 1896. They are all for McKinley this year.” E. P. Sessions, Ottawa, Kan., under taker, said: "You may put me down as one of the men who voted for Bry an In 1896 and who will vote for Mc Kinley this fall. McKinley's admin istration has been superior in every respect. The people do not need a change.” O. H. Merrill, near Ottawa, Kan : “The things we expected to happen didn't come about, instead of disaster wo have bail good times.” ANOTHER COLORADO PAIM.W tN LINE The Boulder County (Colo.)

Y. Smith, farmer, near Ottawa, Kan.: "I voted for Hryan and ail the oilier fusion candidates four years ago, but if I live I hIihM support the straight Republican ticket this year. 1 haven't voted the Republican ticket since the duys before the Greenback party, but you can count me this time sure.” Si Hughes, Populist, Ottawa, Kan.: “The Republican party has done what we Populists have been striving to ac complish. and that was to bring good times. It would not be wise to change now.” James L. Oavis, a lifelong Demo crat, Ohlllicothe, Mo., who has stumped the state for the Democrats for thirty years: “Mr. McKinley has done nothing more than his duty un der the treaty of Paris. For every act in his administration * * * Mr. McKinley hail ample authority from precedents established by Democratic presidents who preceded him.” At torn",v J. E. Robinson, Fargo, S. I).. who is known throughout the state: "Many Populists who once voted for Hryan now propose to vote for Mc Kinley. We never vote to haul down the flag, and we never vote so as to encourage ante d rebellion. The gen uine Populist must be a patriot. We voted for Hryan as t ho honest and able champion of free silver coinage and monetary expansion. Conditions have changed; there is no longer dearth of money. That has been well relieved by the discovery of rich gold mines, which yield an output of about $100,000,000 a year, and by the bank ing ami currency act, which add large ly to the circulating medium. The circulation is now larger than at any ! other time in the history of the conn- i try. The McKinley administration I has been such as to inspire and retain the con (Id nee of the nations and the confidence of (lie business world, and the result has been a period of com mercial expansion, of trade balances, of thrift and prosperity, such as was never recorded in the history of any country.” Judge E. H. Norton, of Plutte City, Mo., ex-member of the Missouri Su preme Court, an old-time Democrat, did not approve his party’s platform on the money question in 189i5 and he ! has not taken up the cry of imperial- | ism In this campaign. He regards it j as a false issue and says: “I regard ! it as a mere blind behind which to hide the real Issue, viz.: the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ra tio of Hi to 1. The charge of imper- j ialism is bas >d by-Mr. Hryan "upon the action of President McKinley, in en deavoring to maintain the authority of J the United States in the Philippine islands, by putting down by force the : r< I m- "f \guinaldo. I re gard the silver plank in the platform, together with th« assailment of the integrity of the courts, as revolution ary in the extreme as freighted with evil—promotive of disorder and blood- i shod detractive to the best interests : of the law-abiding at war with good ; government, and an invitation to the lawless to commit unlawful acts with liupumiy. ,1. H. Dozier, District Attorney of Shasta County, Cal., and a leading Democrat of northern California: i “The great civilization which we have ! achieved and our great development i is due to the spirit of expansion.

His reasons are given below: “The controlling reason is the unwillingness I feel to in trust the government of the country to the men who now represent and control the Dem ocratic organization, standing as they do upon the Chicago plat form of 1800. I fully appreciate the desirableness of having two great political parties to either of which the destinies of this great and growing republic can be safely committed, but, in my judgment, the Democratic party does not at present meet that re quirement. “It seems to me the present tendency of President McKin ley’s mind as to a foreign policy can be discerned in the true American policy he is now pur suing in China. “On the currency question I have always advocated a single gold standard of value, and at last I find myself in harmony with the Republican platform on that subject.1' FORHER CONGRESSMAN PAQE FLAYS BRYAN Ex-Congressman Charles H. Pnge, Providence, R, I.: "What choice have I except McKinleyP There are candidates besides Mc Kinley, but I guess I wont have to look far. “Bryan—I know Bryan. That’s why I won’t vote for him. I am just as good a Democrat ns I ever was, but Bryan is no Demo crat. I was with him in Con gress. I knew him there, and I watched then all the populistic tricks he had. “I am against Bryan because I do not believe in denouncing the Supreme Court; because I be lieve in upholding the Supremo Court. There is no longer n place in the Democratic party for men who think like I do. Men like Hill, who are good Democrats, are letting things go along and helping thiB man in his course to get rid of him. They think— they know, in fact—that the only way he can be gotten rid of is to have him beaten thoroughly. ‘•That's what I think of Bryan. I am still a Democrat, under stand.” “McKINLEY SOMETHING MORE THAN A MAN AFTER AN OFFICE ” James S. Evans, Chicago, 111.: “I come of a long line of Demo crats who have been conspicuous in the political history of lire Gulf Slates. I cannot subscribe to the teachings of Mr. Bryan. Believing them to be dangerous and especially detrimental to the interests of the South, I shall cast my vote for the first time in the history of a member of my family, for the Republican Na tional ticket. * * * It seems to me to be the very acme of Insin cerity for a Southern Democrat * * * to preach nbout individ ual liberty, the right of the gov erned to be consulted about mat ters of state issues. * * * A Southerner by birth; in politics a Democrat; an American by the grace of God, I shall, in the ab sence of a Democratic nominee, vote for William McKinley be cause he is something more than a man after an office.” i riORE niCHIQAN MEN RALLY TO REPUBLICANS Professor Ferris 3. Fitch, Pontiac, Mich., formerly chairman of Demo cratic county committee, uml founder of the Post: “Bryanism is revolting to me. The maintenance of the honor and credit of the nation is as incum bent on every citizen to-day as in ISflO, when Democrats who preferred the integrity of the old Democratic party and the welfare of our common country were compelled to vote for McKinley.” O.

E. Blair, Union City, Mich.— ‘‘When any man, or set of men, pro- i pose to pull down the stars and stripes from any land that comes to us by purchase or otherwise, he nor they can have my vote.

W. Heilman, President of the Nevada Bank of San Fran cisco and Farmers’ & Merchants’ Bank of Los Angeles: “I am a life-long Democrat, but I shall not vote for Mr. Bryan for Presi dent. The 10 to 1 idea • * * if put into practice, would upset all values. Everybody would be injured; the mechanic and labor er as well ns the banker and mer chant. America is today a cred itor country and will continue to be so unless we change our monetary system. Let the ratio of 10 to 1 be adopted and it will drive out what gold there is here. Our securities will be sent back from abroad to be sold here in immense sums. One crisis would follow another. Manufacturing interests would be greatly in jured; labor, which is now in good demand, would suffer. “Another objection to Bryan is that he is not a Democrat. “I am a moderate expansion ist. Without expansion I be lieve that this country would stand still, just as any large cor poration does which does not ex pand and keep up with the times. I believe in holding on to every foot of land that the American flag flies over, and would not give up one bit of it. "California has been much ben efited by this expansion. Our trade lias grown and is growing continually by reason of the pol icy of the present administra tion. I believe that this trade will keep on expanding if Mr. McKinley is re-elected. It would be lost if Mr. Bryan were elected." W. A. Paulson of the Now York Life I Insurance Co., Now York: •‘Republi canism stands for all that will benefit trade, commerce and the Industrial welfare of the entire country.” Morgan Green, cashier of the Hank of McKenzie, McKenzie, Tenn: "I will cast my first Republican vote this fall for McKinley and Roosevelt and the straight Republican ticket. I have voted the Democratic ticket for thirty years without a scratch, and have always given liberally to the campaign fund. 1 voted against Mr. McKinley four years ago because I believed that the gold standard would take away what money was In circulation. This was what, my party said would be tbe re j suit, and I believed It. Mr. McKinley' was elected, and all have profited by the result. The gold standard re tored confidence and opened the mills, furnaces and shops and firms. I do •tot propose to experiment any more. 1 am going to vote for the policy that •rospered on under Harrison and Mc Inley. From this day 1 urn an all •.'nol, yard-wide Republican.** Jay Williams, leading attorney, ’ullsbury, Md.: "I could not vote for Wm. .1. Bryan in the presidential unpalgn of IK'Jli. I have now the time reason for declining to vole for Mr. Bryan. Ills letter of acceptance ind oft-repeated declarations on the subject show his desire to give ns free ilver at the ratio of 16 to 1 just as toon as he can. I have been pleased with the present administration, with (he progress we have made under it, with the present splendid financial ■ondition of this country.” W. 8. McChesney, Sr., vice-presi dent of the Mexican Veterans’ Asso ciation and postmaster of Lexington, Ky., under Grover Cleveland, will sup port McKinley In the presidential race this year. Mr. McChesney has been a consistent Democrat for years and was led to take this step tiy Mr. Bryan’s attitude on the question of “imperialism.” He says: “The soldiers and honor of our country should follow the flag. No patriotic citizen can fall to support the party that Is for the prosecution of the struggle to the end. We veterans are for fighting it out when we begin. When the Philippines ure brought un der control and the honor of the flag vindicated It will then be time enough to talk of Lie kind of government they can have.” John F. Moors, Fall River, Mass.: "I am a sound money Democrat and an anti-imperialist. Let the nation dream great dreams, let it seek high Ideals, but let it not forget that the rule of 70,000,000 people is a mighty responsibility, not to be idly entrusted to a young man with hallucinations, who always appears with a cure-all. Do not Bryan’s managers smile as he changes his bait and draws into Lis net the anti-imperialists?” John F. Valle, Denver, Colo.: "It is manifest that the present Democrat ic idea is not bimetallism, but infla tion, with flat Inflation preferred. True bimetallists look to the smelters and the stamp mills, and not to the pulp mills, for money material.’’ W. H. Bright, formerly of tne Daily Times, Portsmouth, Q., who has been an active D< rnocrat for many years: “Prosperity.” Col, James Matlack Seovel, of Phil adelphia, the veteran of many a I Democratic campaign: "The admln • Istration Is all right.
