The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory. Illinois was the tipping-point-state in the 1900 presidential election. Bryan had previous lost Illinois to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
