GONE TO WASHINGTON.
Senator Perkins Personally Opposed
To Annexation.

Senator Perkins Personally Opposed
To Annexation.
Before Senator Perkins left for
Washington he was interviewed by
the Call on the subject of annexation.
He is accredited with the following
language:
''The treaty will come up and be
discussed and talked over. 1t will take
two-thirds vote to pass it. think
that the Democrats will oppose it.
Senator Morgan, fearing that two
thirds will not be obtained, will pro-
badly introduce a bill providing for
annexation. This will take majority
vote to pass it, and my impression
is that majority vote can be obtained.
If the Democrats make a determined
opposition they can prolong it for
many months.
Personally l have been opposed to
annexation, but the people of Califor-
mia seem to favor it, and don't think
/ shall oppose it, no matter what are
my individual views. / don't think
that when the people give expression
to their views / should stand out
against their wishes in the matter.
My advices from the people are that
they and nearly all the newspapers
of the country are in favor Of it, with
the exception of only one
"PprCOno1lv 7 {hipI npuy;co
mex isolated groups Of islands, as do
not think that such departure from
the national policy is a good one.
However, the people seem to favor it.
Il believe that the reciprocity treaty
should be changed and made equit-
able; should be placed on an equitable
basis. II the treaty continues as It q.
it will give the large investors in those
Islands the great advantage of bring
ing in sugar free and of hiring penal
and Chinese contract laborers. The
people seem to think that if the ISL
| ands were annexed the laws of the
United States would prevent the hir-
| ing of contract labor. There are two
elements in the consideration of the
question: one is sentiment and the
other the property element. The SEN
| timent seems to be that the American
people think that the Japanese can go
| in there and take the Islands. The
other element is composed of those
| who have large investments in the
Islands, and who realize from 80 to SO
per cent with the benefit of the reci-
| procity treaty, and they are in favor
of continuing it. A great many Amer
leans are interested in plantations on
the Islands, and this fact, with the
sentimental element, tends to shape
public opinion.
81 am the servant of the people, and
/ think it is my duty, with the light
before me, to vote for that bill or else
resign. 1t seems to me that the whole
press of San Francisco, except the
Call, and the press in general through
out the State, is in favor of annexation,
and, as I said before, the press reflects
the sentiments. of the people,
