Title	William McKinley Presidential Inauguration Program
Subject	Presidents and Politics McKinley, William, 1843-1901 Presidential inaugurations
Place	Canton (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio) Washington (District of Columbia)
Description	This official program of the presidential inauguration ceremonies and "official souvenir of National Capitol" was created for the William McKinley's second presidential inauguration in 1901. It shows the route the procession will take, lists the order of those in the parade, and describes the decorations and illuminations that would be visible throughout Washington, D.C. Fireworks were to begin at 7:45 p.m. and the inaugural ball was scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. on March 4. The program also includes images of President McKinley, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, and Washington, D.C. This 20-page item measures 6.5" by 8" (16.51 by 20.32 cm). McKinley (1843-1901), the twenty-fifth president of the United States, was born in Niles, Ohio. He enlisted in the army at the outbreak of the Civil War and, after being mustered out, studied law and opened a law office in Canton, Ohio. McKinley served in Congress for 14 years, and became president in 1897, largely due to the influence of Marcus Hanna, boss of the Cleveland political machine. McKinley was most noted for his foreign policy and the conduct of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It was during McKinley's administration that the United States acquired its first overseas possessions in the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. He was re-elected in 1900, but was assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in 1901. His running mate, Theodore Roosevelt, then became president. Ohio adopted as its state flower McKinley's favorite red carnation in his memory.
