The United States now contains
enough square miles. We should not
covet either Hawaii or Cuba. The badly
mixed and unassimilated population we
now have will give rise to enough gov
ernmentai trouble without having our
difficulties increased by the half civilized
inhabitants Of the Sandwich Islands and
Cuba. Before acquiring new territory
let us show our capacity for the better
government of what We have. With un-
punished ballot box frauds in Denver
and an Illinois legislature corrupted by
q street railways thousands it will be in
better taste to attenb to home affairs
before taking another nations under oul
