"In the Days of McKinley"  By Margaret Leech
" The President's active participation in the congressional campaigns was
and event.(1898 I am sure just after the Spanish American War was
ending)Deafening cheers of Iowa, he moved to the thunderous welcome of Omaha
"  then to St. Louis and Chicago.  Spoke in Hastings Iowa.
May be the train went St. Joe to Humeston and up to Chariton then west via
Creston and Hastings on the way to Omaha
A year or so later he went to Calif. and spent time in San Francisco
