Those who agree with Morgan on
his Hawaiian argument attribute to
the Morgan harangue great part
of the present apathy on the sub

through the Senate. Indeed, the
friends OF annexation have almost
lost hope. They are now looking
to the Morgan bill as the most prac-
tical means to their end, and even
with that they see great stumbling
block in their path in the shape OF
the shapely gentleman from Maine
who is the "whoe thing" so far as
the House OF Representatives is
concerned.
