fine have a passionate listeners and intensity of the country preacher reads an eighteen thousand miles and early voters making at least six hundred speeches to an estimated five million listeners a record for american demands and rap genius has he seemed to have come to this morning the message that they had been waiting to hear about free college and so about the inequalities that exist in america again in the early nineteen nineties republicans themselves

into a candidate and william mckinley the reagan campaign strategist and had decided they didn't need mckinley president and had spent years building his organization and raising a major campaign war chest he was in politics and that he was a successful businessman literally running the machines so rather than trusting and to spend one thousand dollars to secure mckinley nomination now isn't about taxing the major corporations to insure the election is the big banks one percent of a capital was the outstanding mortgages and a quarter million dollars business management and the factories were shut down and were not convinced i'll start into elite red white and agents into his front porch in canton ohio
