That was a great speech! Wish that politicians would do that nowadays...

This was before amplification, and the folks of that day were precise in their speech, syntax, etc-If is startling how we have devolved in colloquialisms, soundbites, 30-second spots, "gotcha" questions, etc-in our political process. Like him or not, I like that Newt Gingrich wants to challenge Obama to a series of Lincoln-Douglas-style debates--no moderator, just talking about the real solutions without "gotcha" questions. It would be neat to find out which President lost their British accent.

A very forceful speaker, I must say! Thanks for posting this recording of William McKinley making a campaign speech in 1896! Boy, they don't speak like that anymore! =D

I think it's sad that the English language has devolved (especially in the US) into what it is today....

Sorry to bust everyone's bubble, this is NOT the voice McKinley, but that of a studio performer. It's also missing the middle section, as well as a spoken intro that would have ID'd the speaker--the complete recording plays for about 2.5 minutes. It's listed in the United States Phonograph Co. catalog for Sept. 1896, which was geared for proprietors owning coin-operated machines in arcades. The catalog entry also mentions "audience sounds." 4 other records listed were of Wm. J. Bryan speeches.

@tristconroytv Sorry bro, the man has no direct descendants. You could be related to him in other ways but you're not his "great x 7 grandchild." But since you're so sure why don't you submit your genealogy findings to the McKinley Museum? Just google it and it'll be the top hit. I'm sure they'd LOVE to hear about this mystery wife/child theory of yours. Then you can call them dumbasses when they prove you wrong too.

@travellinman321 It seems like FDR was the last President to have this similar accent...
