Makes a Speech Denounoing
Forcible Annexation Of
y, the Philippines. 4~'

NEW YORK. Jan. THE Journal and
Advertiser prints the following state
ment by Richard Croker: ..,. .a: .
Il believe in expansion. I believe in
holding whatever possessions we have
gained by annexation, purchase or war.
This policy is not only patriotic but it is
the only safe one to pursue. Any other
policy would show weakness on the
part Of the United States and invite
foreign complications This must be
avoided, hence our policy must be Wig
-orous.
Jefferson was an expansionist, other
wise he would not have favored the &C.
QUESTION of Louisiana with its foreign
population, which, in Jefferson's time,
was quite as remote as the Philippines.
6, In this age Of steam and electricity dis
lance is no argument againt expansion.
Chance for Our Young Men.
I'VE have population of $4,000, 900
people. The country teens with young
men full of life, hope and ambition.
Why not give these men a chance to de-
velop our newly acquired possessions
and build up q country rivaling in
grandeur and patriotism our own
United States?
II cay by all means hold on to all that
rightfully belongs to us. If the great
country west of the Rocky mountains
was filled with wild Indians at the pres
.ent moment how long would it take US
to suppress them and make them respect
our laws and constitution The same
thing applies tothe Philippines and any
other country that may fall into our
hands by the providence Of peace or
war.
Should Not Abandon Them.
1T is an insult to the American peo-
pie and to our flag even to suggest that
we abandon the peoples that we have
rescued from bondage, or, what would
be more disgraceful, that We should
offer to sell them to the highest bidder.
Such . proposition places the American
people in the same category with the
Chinese, who have neither patriotism
nor q foreign policy, and are in conse-
quence utilized as a doormat by the
powers of the world.
II think the is to question as out
lined in the Chicago platform q de.
cidedlyy dead one. This was fully dem.
onstrated at the last election. We did
not embody the 16 to plank in our
platform and the result is that we
elected every one of our congressman"
