Imperialism debated in campaign rhetoric and rail plans
A lengthy column argues imperialism is a straw issue used to attack the Republicans while praising American empire and duties. It defends McKinley era expansion policy, cites Lincoln and Grant, and contrasts Democrat positions on Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The piece notes a Trans-M Missouri Committee meeting and a Rock Island excursion plan from Chicago and other cities to Colorado, with a one fare round trip and October 1 return limit.
