Lithograph, William McKinley, 1900
Add to SetSummary
William McKinley was elected president in 1896 and 1900. In each election, McKinley employed a "front porch campaign" -- a strategy where supporters visited the candidate's home to hear the nominee speak. It worked. Thousands came and then returned to their own homes to get out the vote. McKinley defeated Democratic Party candidate William Jennings Bryan both times.
