people; ...a history of soldiers who carried the flag across the
blazing deserts and through the ranks of hostile
mountains... a history of a multiplying people who overran a continent
in half a century...For William McKinley is continuing
the policy that Jefferson began, Monroe continued, Seward
advanced, Grant promoted, Harrison championed,
and the growth of the Republic has demanded. Hawaii is ours; Porto
Rico is to be ours; at the prayer of

govem another man without that other's consent. When the white man governs himself, that is self-government, but
when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government--that is despotism." "Our
reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us... Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for
themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it." We cordially invite the co-operation of all men and women who
