McKinley and Hobart Flag Day Campaign poster. The images of McKinley and Hobart are superimposed on a 45- star United States flag. Below the images is the slogan, "Sound Money- Protection and Prosperity."
To the left of the images of McKinley and Hobart is the following:
"Flag Day, Saturday, Oct. 31. The American flag has been in the present campaign the emblem or insignia of national honor. /its influence has been for great good in the cause of a good people. Its display in many places has been potent in the advancement of the country's battle for the maintenance of its honor at home and abroad. I therefore suggest that Saturday October 31, all who intend to vote November 3d for the preservation of our national honor, for sound money and the advancement of our people's interests and general prosperity, display the national colors at their homes, their places of business and wherever they may be seen, in order that voters whose hearts are for their country may be strengthened in their purpose and those who are undetermined may the more patriotically and intelligently conclude how best to perform their duty as citizens. Chicago, Oct. 17, 1896 M.A. Hanna, Chmn. Republican Natl. Com."Collection
