Spooner. declaring they contained strong
political bias and an evident desire to ad-
vance the policy of the administration
rather than to arrive at a just and right
eous solution OF the problem presented.
He declared the speeches OF the senators
he had referred to had each contained eulo-
CYSTIC references to the president of the
United States. which he said were syco-

publican party shall make It an issue"
showing infinitely more concern as to the
fate of the Republican party at the cleo
ton of next November than that justice
and right should be melted out to the Fill
pinos. So 1t was, he declared, with the
Republicans everywhere. 1t was the most
striking part of the senator's speech, said
he. that he had presented an appeal TO
his party not to face defeat in the cam

criticism Of the government provided by
congress for the people OF Puerto Rico,
Teller said 1t was part of the imperialistic
policy OF the Republican party.
Will Not support Republican Ticket.
In conclusion Teller said he would not
support the Republican party In the ap-
preaching campaign.
