Chearke W Keeney president of the Association of silver clubs tells The Times he does not expect silver to remain a mere side issue in the next year’s campaign. He argues the party will feature silver prominently and may push Imperialism as a factor.

He warns anti expansion will fail and cites Hawaii annexation as a Democratic gain.
