Senator John II. Reagan OF Texas who has
been in the city attending the meeting Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. said to- day
when interviewed on the Philippines:

casion o! Mr.. Bryan's latest speech in Texas
listened TO him with much interest. When
no concluded told him that Endorsed
all that he said with the execution
OF the part which referred to expan-
sion. On this issue we were far apart
l explained to him then that the Democrats
who ale so much opposed 10 this Government
acquiring more territory have reversed mat
tors and are using the same old arguments
made to do service by the Wings the Federal
lists and the Republicans years ago when these
and history will bear me out in this assertion.
The United States Government cannot re-
linqutsh its hold upon the new territory it hns
acquired. 1t cannot retrace its steps in tho
Philippines or anywhere else where 1t has ac-
Gureq territory Having acquired Jurisdiction
over them. 1t would be unwise to leave them 10
shift for themselves. feel assured that no
cratic doctrine to oppose the acquisition Of
new territory. 1t has been said that the
Democratic party must not touch expansion
lest the free : liver issue should be lost sight Of
] don look Mt matters in that way. The Dem
ocratc party is entirely too big to have but one
country md there are many issues which must
