Honors-William McKinley Endorsement

The presidency of the United States is no small job to be messed around with. Our next president must be able to bring our country up out of our economic depression and be widely supported by the people.

Our recommendation in the upcoming election is William McKinley. We believe that McKinley will be the fresh face and party that our country needs now more than ever. The decision is clear, the Democratic Party hasn’t helped over the past eight years, and it is time for a change in the White House. He truly connects with the people of the United States, by holding events at his own home and openly greeting thousands of Americans.

At the past Republican Convention, the wealthy Cleveland businessman Marcus Alonzo Hanna ensured the nomination of his friend William McKinley as the "the advance agent of prosperity." We believe that he was completely correct; William McKinley will help America prosper.

On the other hand, people within the Democratic Party, including President Grover Cleveland, don’t approve of their nominee, William Jennings Bryan. Some have even abandoned the party or joined a new one, which isn’t a positive outlook on Bryan’s part or on his party’s confidence in him.

In this election, voters are watching the candidates on their ideas for the declining economy, currency and what they plan to do with the new possessions and territories that are now a part of the United States. Through our analysis, we have found that McKinley has fresh ideas on all subjects that will improve our country.

William McKinley has been involved in politics since he was 34, when he became a member of congress. One of his colleagues, Robert M. La Follette, Sr, said that he "represented the newer view," and "on the great new questions .. was generally on the side of the public and against private interests." Eventually he went on to become Ohio’s governor. Through of all this experience, he is the right candidate for the United States.

There are some similarities between Mr. McKinley and his opponent Mr. Bryan, both are concerned with the economic state and what the standards should be. One of the major differences is The Republican party along with McKinley, have the plans and foundations that will protect American industry and its workers, by using gold. Bryan’s plans on the other hand, are unstable by using both gold and silver, which is sure to cause problems in the long run.

McKinley said “I am a tariff man, standing on a tariff platform.” He stands strong on issues and presents new approaches to the problems Democrats have failed to overcome in the presidential position.

Bryan and McKinley are also very similar people; both have strong personalities and have a strong presence in a room. They both studied law before going into politics, but our trust is in McKinley for his sharp intellect and persistence that helped him to move through the ranks of politics so quickly. He has been the member of sub committees, in Congress while Bryan has not.

Another thing to be highlighted is McKinley’s military service. He fought for the Union Army, serving from 1861 up until the end of the war. He was a soldier on the front lines, and rose through the ranks to become a major, an impressive accomplishment.

McKinley has revolutionized the idea of campaigning by advertising and really speaking out to the American people. At times he would give 30 speeches a day, a task left only for those who are truly dedicated to becoming the president and bettering our country.

He is comfortable speaking to his supporters, and it is seen by all that he has great plans to improve our progressive nation. Not many say, “I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made president.” This confidence and natural feeling separates him from Democratic nominee Bryan.

The main question leading up to this election, is who is going to help our economy thrive and handle foreign trading and policy well. We are confident that William McKinley is the right choice. At this progressive turning point in our great nation, we need McKinley to be the President of the United States.
