present a that gatherlng-it was an In
formal meeting. considering the practical
questions Of the campaign. we asked
Senator Hoar for hts views. That grand

or that occasion, felt that he had almost
been estranRed from his party and from
his President. and yet strong under his
own convictions that were rooted within
him In lifetime. he said
what senator IIoar said.

Philippine question has been one Of hy-

those who are assisting him on the ros-

Of this country into the belief that u Is
against the best interests OF this country
