Join the room"What's the Matter with Kansas?" was an 1896 newspaper editorial authored by William Allen White and widely republished across the United States. The editorial criticized presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, whose populist platform advocated for the free silver standard. The editorial was leveraged by the William McKinley campaign, and has been credited with leading to McKinley's victory in the presidential election. It was also the piece that made White, then 29 years old, internationally famous.
