AN EXPANSIONIST
Governor Roosevelt Not Afraid of New
RESPONSIBILITIES

NEW YORK, Dec 2l.-Over 200 men,
bers and friends of the New England society
of Brooklyn assembled tonight at the Pouch
mansion on Clinton avenue at the 10Th an
nual dinner OF the organization in celebra-
ton of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt responded
to the toast 1.-The Day We Celebrate"
The speaker declared himself unequivo-
cally in favor Of assuming control of the
Philippines, the inhabitants of which
should be controlled until they were
taught to govern themselves. They We're
not New Enganders, and therefore could
not be governed according to New England
principles. Colonel Roosevelt referred to
the work of Major General Wood as gov
ernor general of Santiago, and he said it
was men of his stamp who were fitted to
govern our newly acquired possessions; that
they should be unhampered, except to ex-
act good results and that the islands should
not be given over to the spoils of the poll
ticians.
'If we fall he said, eve shall be in
finitely more unworthy than Spain, for we
shall sin aetinst the light, seeing the light y

VOTE ON PEACE TREATY
AS CERTAIN AS IF ALREADY
COUNTED
THE REAL STRUGGLE TO COME
When a Resolution to Make the Phil
ippines Is introduced by
the Democrats
associated Press Special Wire

NEW YORK, Dec 2l.-Clark How.
| ell, member of the Democratic national
committee from Georgia, and editor OF the
Atlanta Constitution, after consulting with
the leaders OF both parties at Washington,
telegraphed as follows to his paper tonight:
with the adjournment of congress for
the holidays the final decision of the peace
treaty is as clear as it will be after a vote
has been taken III the senate. Two weeks
ago the matter was in doubt-today it is as
certain that the treaty will be ratified as
it will be that it has been after the vote
has been taken.
Mr. Bryan has been in Washington for
several days, and has conferred frequently
and freely with the Democratic leaders in
both the senate and house. He has advised
ratification of the treaty, and he is out
spoken in the opinion that, aside from the
question of national obligation, it is a
matter of party policy for the Democratic
party to throw no obstacle in the way. 1t
must not be understood that the ratification
of the treaty will carry with it the assump-
ton that all those who vote in the affirm
ative are in favor of national expansion
across the Pacific. OF the senators who
will vote in favor of the treaty there will
be Republicans as well as Democrats who
are opposed in principle as we'll as in the
ory to the transoceanic expansion OF our
national domain They take, however, and
very properly, the view that the question
OF expansion, per Sc, is not involved in the
consideration of the peace treaty, and that
after the treaty has been ratified with
Spain, and has been eliminated as a factor
in the Philippine problem, it will be. time
enough to consider the policy to be pur
sued in dealing with the Philippines, and
just here will come the real contest on the
question of expansion"
Mr.. Howell then says that after the
treaty has been finally disposed of reso
luton will be introduced making a declara
ton of the proposed policy of this govern
ment in dealing with the Philippines, and
that this resolution will be framed very
much on the basis of the Cuban resolution
adopted coincident with the declaration of
war, in which it was declared that the pol
icy of this government would be to give the
people of Cuba free and independent gov
ernment of their own.
Mr.. Howell further says
The vote on the proposed resolution will
not be confined by any means to party
lines, and the outcome is in doubt a large
majority of the Democrats will vote in ia
vor of it, and large majority of the Re
publicans will vote against it, but the size
of each minority is so involvel in doubt as
TO render exceedingly questionable the final
action that will be taken on the resolution.

Sugar Men Scared

CHICAGO, Dec PA conference be-

Growers society and manufacturers of beet
sugar machinery and representatives of beet
sugar factories now in operation was held
in this city today The question under con-
sideration was the effect of the proposed an
nexation of the sugar producing territory in
the West Indies and in the PHILIPPINES upon
the development of the American sugar pro-
ducing interest. The sentiment was unani-
nous that the acquiring of tropical sugar
territory would seriously affect the devel.
opment of the beet sugar industry, unless
some arrangement was made which would
protect the domestic indsutry against the
operation of free trade in sugar from the new
colonies. 1t was decided to make formal

The reason SO many failed to make this
