You are called to a choice between the doctrines of Nathan Dane and Abraham Lincoln on one side and the doctrines and policy of President McKinley and his supporters on the other side.
They assert supreme authority over their fellow-men for an indefinite period of time, and they promise therewith good government.
President McKinley and his supporters demand subserviency of all who are not within the lines of the American seas.
