MISCELLANIA
McKinley was elected for the second term
with a larger plurality of popular votes than
any other previous president. He had great
influence with Congress; accomplished
much but history recorded him as a leader of
backward looking conservatism and blamed
him for the country's involvement in the
Spanish-American War. An assassin's bullet
ended his life, nine months after his second
inaugural.

MISCELLANIA
This is the first time that we note a split in
the Maryland electoral vote.
When Roosevelt took office after McKinley's
death, he was the youngest president to date
- 43 years old. He exuded vim, vigor and
vitality and believed in speaking softly while
carrying a big stick; also espoused the phi-
losophy, "every man holds his property sub-
ject to the general right of the community to
regulate its use to whatever degree the public
welfare may require it."
