beon a democrat all his llfo. In discussing
self-government for the Filipinos ho says:

would vote for the Imp. A majority of theso

2. Glvo them uteres 'o nn Amerlcnn Judgo

4. Punish by enormous lines or long terms
In prison all persons who receive bribes In
any form paid in nny amount. They h:io
become so accustomed to seeing thoe In

have no ldon of honest government.
And now please remember this ono scn
