McKINLEY ANNIVERSARY 
PATRIOTIC ORDERS IN MANCHESTER 
Honor THE MEMORY OF 
MMARTYRED PRESIDENT. 
Members of Col. H. P. Woodbury 
eamip, S: of V., Allen post, G. A. R., 
and Allen Relief corps met in G. A. 
R., hall, Manchester, on Tuesday eve- 
ning to do honor to the memory of 
President McKinley in accordance 
with their annual custom. The meet- 
ing was opened by Camp Commander 
(Charles E. Bell, who turned the con- 
duct of the exercises over to. Mrs. 
Jeffrey S. Reed, patriotic instructor of 
the relief corps. The program open- 
ed with the singing of “Lead, Kindly 
Light,” the martyred president’s fav- 
orite hymn. A reading by Miss Mary 
FE. Morgan followed. 
Alfred S. Jewett, patriotic instruc- 
tor of Allen post, delivered an en- 
comium to the memory of President 
McKinley. “It is fitting that gather- 
ing like this be held to keep alive the 
memory of the men who have stood 
for so much in our nation. Former 
Governor Hughes of New York in a 
recent address emphasized the value 
cf studying American history and its 
importance to those who have newly 
become citizens of our land. It isa 
duty of the Sons of Veterans that 
they foster the movement to cherish 
the institutions which stand for most 
in our history. It is for that reason 
that we think it worth while to gather 
here this evening to do honor to the 
memory of William McKinley.” Mr. 
Jewett then sketched briefly the life 
of the former president, and touched 
upon an incident in the battle of 
Cedar Creek which was the motif for 
the poem, “Sheridan’s Ride.” = Wil- 
liam McKinley was an officer in that 
battle. Mr. Jewett and Edward 
Hooper of Manchester took part in 
the fighting near Cedar Creek. Con- 
tinuing he said, 
“No man possessed a kindlier nature 
nor. stood for more democratic ideas 
than did Lincoln, Garfield and Mc- 
Kinley. Yet these presidents, who 
were perhaps the most friendly to 
labor and to the cause of the people, 
were struck down by representatives 
of the ‘people’ as tyrants.” 
Mr. Jewett referred to the struggle 
in Europe in which he said the sym- 
pathies of the majority of Americans 
were with the Allies because they 
were believed to represent the ideals 
cf democracy as opposed to the mon- 
archial form of government. “But- 
ton of Bronze,” was read by John L. 
Frest in an impressive manner. 
Edwin P. Stanley, Jr. vice dept. 
commander, paid a tribute to McKin- 
ley. “It is custom of democracies to 
recognize their leaders,” he said, “and

it is a characteristic of this country 
that we honor the memory of our 
great leaders. Washington is honor- 
ed as the ‘Father of his Country’ and 
Lincoln is revered as the ‘Savior of his 
Country.’ But few men in our his- 
tory had the kindess of heart that 
William McKinley had. His deeds 
as a legislator, as a soldier and as a 
president deserve our praise, but the 
cutstanding characteristic of his na- 
ture was his goodness of heart which 
attracted everyone to him. His inner 
goodness was reflected in his outward 
personality.” 
Miss Morgan read “The Color- 
bearer at Gettysburg.” A social hour 
followed.
