The article urges Ellsworth voters to back Republican candidate Burrill for representative, warning against overconfidence and calling for unity after a Democratic city government win last spring. It contrasts Republican discipline with Bryan’s stance, discusses Philippines policy, and reports Vermont election results and Democratic distortions.
The speech outlines three aims if elected: convene Congress to declare a Philippine policy, grant independence to the Filipinos, and shield them from foreign interference. It asserts withdrawing troops would trigger war in the islands, while keeping a naval presence to deter any nation. The speaker argues this would provoke widespread unrest and riots.
McKinley urged reviving silent Maine shipyards with renewed naval effort. He noted Britain’s loss and U.S. gains in trade, urging equal support for merchant marine and steamship lines to boost commerce under the American flag. The speech echoed Civil War era militarism debates.
Guidance on voting straight party or splitting tickets by crossing the box for the chosen designation, then canceling a candidate’s name with a line and possibly placing a sticker in the blank space. Also contains a note on catarrh and a dubious medical ad for Hall's Catarrh Cure from Cheney & Co.
