GOV. LORDS POSITION

If it be true, as reported in the
Oregonian. that Governor Lord
has written the New York Jour
nal that he is opposed to the
retention of the Philippines by
the United States, it must be
apparent that the governor does
not have fnture political aspira-
tions, for the retention Of the
Philippines is demanded by at
least ninety per cent of the citi-
zens of Oregon regardless Of
party.
No senator can be elected by
the Legislature to convene i'll
January who is not known to be
thoroughly in harmony with the
people on this important que5-
ton. The governor has made
his bed on this subject with our
