Item The Yakima Democrat -- Vol 5. No. 41 -- Jtly 1, 1899.(Medill, John David, 1899-07-01) Medill, J. D."A blast at McKinleyism. The Oregonian indicts McKinley and declares him not up to the requirements of the office of the president. It asserts that the administration has made most disgraceful appointments to office at the behest of unscrupulous politicians, has betrayed the civil service to the spoilsmen, has paralyzed the organization of the army, has violated its pledges as to currency reform, has humiliated its most efficient servants and discredited American intelligence and valor in the eyes of the world. It has been hesitating, timorous, dilatory."Item The Yakima Democrat -- Vol 6. No. 2 -- September 30, 1899.(Medill, John David, 1899-09-30) Medill, J. D."Roosevelt, who by the grace of boss Platt occupies the great office of governor of New York, in a speech opening the republican campaign in New York last Saturday, went even farther than any republican orator has yet done in his strained attempt to make a virtue of expansion and to vilify and malign the millions of people in this country who are not believers in President McKinley's policy of 'criminal aggression.'"Item The Yakima Democrat -- Vol 6. No. 41 -- June 23, 1900.(Medill, John David, 1900-06-23) Medill, J. D."William McKinley for president and Theodore Roosevelt for vice president, both nominated by acclamation, is the announcement that comes from the Philadelphia convention. Roosevelt's nomination for the vice presidency in no sense strengthens the ticket; on the contrary it positively weakens it, for the people have grown weary of Teddy's theatrical posing and will sit upon his vain ambition hard in the ides of November."Item The Yakima Democrat -- Vol 7. No. 4. -- October 6, 1900.(Medill, John David, 1900-10-06) Medill, J. D."The mobbing of Roosevelt in a Colorado mining camp, was a contemptible piece of business and deserves the condemnation of men of all parties. Such demonstrations, anyway, can only have the effect of lionizing a cheap and shoddy demagogue, who imagines himself the national hero, because of the spectacular part that he played in an opera boufe war and who is so illiberal in thought as to denounce millions of his countrymen who differ widely with him, on fundamental questions of government, as cowards and traitors. The Colorado incident is to be regretted from any standpoint; but if it has the effect of reducing the swelling in Teddy's head, it will have its compensations."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 10 -- No. 27 -- March 21, 1903.(Medill, John David, 1903-03-21) Medill, John David"'Teddy' Is Coming. The President of the United States to Visit North Yakima May 25--To Be Here Thirty Minutes. Congressman Jones Monday morning received two dispatches from Washington City informing him that President Roosevelt and party would make a thirty minute stop in this city on May 25th, while enroute east from Puget Sound."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 10 -- No. 34 -- May 9, 1903.(Medill, John David, 1903-05-09) Medill, John DavidItem The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 10 -- No. 36 -- May 23, 1903.(Medill, John David, 1903-05-23) Medill, John DavidItem The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 10 -- No. 37 -- May 30, 1903.(Medill, John David, 1903-05-30) Medill, John DavidItem The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 7 -- No. 33 -- April 27, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-04-27) Medill, J. D."President McKinley... Will visit North Yakima Saturday, May 25th. It is possible that while here he will make his headquarters at the North Yakima Drug Store. We therefore invite all our friends to call and see us that day and look over our stock. A. D. Sloan, Ph. G."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 7 -- No. 38 -- June 8, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-06-08) Medill, J. D."Mrs. McKinley's physical condition continues to be a source of great anxiety. While the latest bulletins indicate a slight improvement, it would be a matter of small surprise to the nation to hear of her death at any moment. She has proved a heroic sufferer, and has the warmest sympathy of the entire country in her patient struggle against disease."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 7 -- No. 51 -- September 7, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-09-07) Medill, J. D."President Wm. McKinley Assassinated!!! The report reached this city just as the Democrat was being put to press that shortly after noon on Friday in the city of Buffalo, N. Y., where he was attending the exposition. Inquiry at the local telegraph office developed the fact that such a report had gone over the wire. After some delay on account of the wires being in use the Spokane office was communicated with and the truth of the rumor briefly confirmed. Later. Special to Yakima Democrat. Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 6.--President McKinley was shot in the stomach and the chest here this afternoon in front of the Ethnological building. His condition is serious."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 7 -- No. 52 -- September 14, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-09-14) Medill, J. D."President William McKinley Dead! Bulletins received here early Friday morning as to the change for the worse in the condition of the president came as another shock to the community, as every one had been led to believe by the bulletins issued by his physicians to the belief that the crisis had been passed and danger of fatal results reduced to a minimum. At about 3 a. m. Friday morning an alarming condition of heart action lead the surgeons to issue notice to the country that while there was no instant danger, the worst fears might be realized. A telegram received at 3:15 last afternoon brought the melancholy news that death ensued at Buffalo at 5:45 p. m., eastern time."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 8 -- No. 1 -- September 21, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-09-21) Medill, J. D."President McKinley died while in the zenith of his fame and has therefore assured to him a most conspicuous place in history. The manner of his death as well as the long service that he has rendered his country in the highest stations will assure him of this. While not a preeminently great man as compared with others who where his predecessors in office, he was nevertheless endowed with many splendid qualities of heart and mind that make for greatness and for the fullest measure of success in whatever he undertook." "Thomas Roosevelt at the age of 42 is now president of the United States. He is younger by five years than any other man who has been called to the White House. His youth, however, is not a valid objection. It is the fact that he is of a peculiar and unusual makeup, in fact an unknown quantity, that causes apprehension among a certain class of people."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 9 -- No. 12 -- November 30, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-12-07) Medill, J. D."President Roosevelt's first message to congress is an interesting document. In the main it is clear cut and forcible in style as befits the character of the man. For a new president accidently swept into his high office on a wave of chance he exhibits a wonderful grasp of public affairs and of the responsibility of his position."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 9 -- No. 23 -- February 22, 1902.(Medill, John David, 1902-02-22) Medill, John David"Gov. Taft says that high salaries are a necessity it the Philippines commission brought out the fact that Governor Taft has been living in a palace, that his servant hire is $3000 a year and that he keeps 14 horses in his stables. It is needless to say that the governor did not put on so much dog when he was living in Cincinnati and was a plain ordinary U. S. judge. Of course, imperialism is expensive. It has always been so since government was first instituted among men?"Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 9 -- No. 34 -- May 10, 1902.(Medill, John David, 1902-05-10) Medill, John David"Would Be a Mistake. If President Roosevelt takes the stump in the congressional campaign this fall, it will be establishing a new precedent, and one that is not likely to be approved by everybody. When presidents have sought re election it has not been uncommon for them at times to appear on the platform for two or three addresses, although it has generally been thought to be more in keeping with the dignity of the position for a president to keep out of the campaign, even when he himself is asking for another term of office. For a president to get out in an off year campaign is quite unusual, and it is doubtful any good would be accomplished either for the country or for the party to which the president belongs."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 9 -- No. 40 -- June 21, 1902.(Medill, John David, 1902-06-21) Medill, John David"An Ellensburg gentleman who visited Washington City recently was taken by Congressman Jones to call on the president. 'Teddy' greeted his visitors with his usual urbanity and after swapping compliments with 'Yakima' Jones turned the conversation to Washington politics. In the course of the take the president is said to have remarked: 'The little birds (republicans) out in Washington don't seem to dwell together in peace and harmony in the party nest, now do they, Mr. Jones?' 'Teddy' is evidently dead next to the gang of quarreling pie hunters who run the politics of the state."Item The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 9 -- No. 8 -- November 9, 1901.(Medill, John David, 1901-11-09) Medill, J. D."President Roosevelt by proclamation, has named Thursday, Nov. 28th as the day for national thanksgiving."
