A TALK WITH SENATOR JONES.
The Policy of the Democratic Senators
Toward Legislation.

Washington Nov. Ex-senator James
*. Jones', of Arkansas, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. re-
turned to Washington today from his trim
to Chicago where he went to attend n
conference of the executive committee
There was some effort ON the part of
outsiders said the Senator this after
noon, Ito make it appear THAT very signi-
ticant business was being transacted by
the committee As plain matter of
fact. there was little or nothing of pop
ulal interest i'm the meeting. 1t was sim
ply to arrange some matters of organiza-
ton"
"What will be the policy of the Demo-
cratic Senators towards legislation this
winter" he was asked.
Democratic, speaking generally" was
the Senators reply. Il don't pretend to
speak for anybody but myself when
talk about amy particular measures.
believe i'm resisting to the utmost the
proposed gold standard legislation. the
abolition OF greembacEs and the extension
of privileges to national banks. Ine
Hawaiian Islands are NOW part of ouT
domain by annexation, and the people
there should be admitted to all the privil-
eyes of government that are accorded to
residents of the United States.
IF we are to regard ourselves as
Christian gentlemen, standing by the
Declaration of Independence. / do not
see how we are to force upon the Gu
bans nor the E'ilipinos amy form OF gov
ernanent without the full consent of the
governed. 1t seems to me out of the
question to even make state out of the
Philippine Islands"
Senator Jones asked with considerable
concern about the development IN the
case of Senator Quay, OF Pennsylvania.
Apart from the personal considerations
he said Inc should regard it as very
grave error for the Senate To allow Mr.
Quay to retain his seat. 'sINhe prece-
dents are SO strong against this, said
Senator Jones. that a reserve vote NOW
would give the country at large the idea
that the Senate was playing politics.
