system, obtaining the cost of transportation in competitive subscriptions, saved heavy expenses for other material uses. In 1896, the influence of the ways of meeting and greeting the people, by opposing candidates for the greater office, was studied anxiously on both sides. Mr. Bryan was in rapid movement for months, and had wonderful endurance. He called upon the masses of the people, who were aroused to see and hear him, for contributions. McKinley received the people at his house, and the swarming delegations calling upon him made a constant stir, with crowded trains, thundering guns and sonorous, patriotic music. When he was a candidate for re-election, the custom almost unbroken of keeping the President from the stump, was continued. The Administration had sufficient force to speak for itself. The President's strength belonged to the charge of official duties. The special train of the second officer of the Government was called for emphatically. It was the feeling there was need of him in his own State, and in the West. The hope of the opposition was that they could carry the silver and mountain States, and throw the election into New York. Roosevelt was the ideal candidate for the Administration, both in New York-his home State-and in the West, where he could fairly be said to have been naturalized. His ability, popularity and endurance was not called upon in vain. The drafts were honored, excessive though they seemed. The Western journey, during which a distance was traveled almost equal to the circumference of the globe, overshadowed the two earlier journeys-first to Oklahoma, and then to the Northwest, and also the slavish labors of the Governor of his own State.
