Gov. Hazen S. Pingree, nj who
four years ago ranfor governorof
Michihgan ahead of the national
Republican ticket, with MtKin-
Icy at its head, talked recentlywith
Il representative Of the Chicago
American on the present political
situation, particularly IN his own,
the Republican, party. ,,. a..s
NO WAR IN ELECTION TIMES.
II see by the papers that the
lianna- Mckinley government is
going to withdraw the american
army from China, just as the
other powers are getting ready to
partition the Chinese empire
among themselves, f" he said.f'f
':You see. itwouldn't dofor the
llanna-McKinley administration
to have Il big war on in the east
Just before a national election in
this country. A few years ago
they were Dragging that no nation
would dare 90 to war with this,
the greatest fighting and most
powerful nation on earth. Then
came the war with Spain--one of
| the weakest nations in the world
ostcnsibly undertaken by this
icountry inthe ngm6 Of humanity.
lSoon afterward that inexcusablc
and lndefcnsible war with the Fl
lipinos was begun, so as to spread
liannaism over the Philippine is
lands, where the climate is misera.

COUNTRY GAVE MONEY AND BLOOD
"After this=country, under tht

McKinleys and the trusts, hac
wasted millions of dollars, anc
sacrificed gallons of the blood oi
brave American soldiers in those
oppression ridden Islands, on The
pretense Of national expansion
and defending. the flag, this same
gang, under the cloak of religion

Chinese troubles. m ag t

to rescue and protect American

with only two or three thousahc

reading the censored reports from

"And now afterseyeraI hundred

propose, for political reasons, to
withdraw the American forces
from China, just as the rich Chi
nese empire, withits fine climate,
is apparently about to be parti-

Mind you, I'm not advising that
we go after a piece Of the Chinese
empire. That s a-pretty spec.
taclc for the world to behold, and
how proudly recent, patriotic
Americans must view it.
CLIMATE MAKES. SOLDIERS CRAZY.
"Over in the Philippines the
rotten climate is either killing our
soldiers or driving them crazy.
The other day | had my private
secretary 90 to the Marine Hospi-
tai in Washington to inquire
about q Detroit sailor who had
been sent there crazy from the
Philippines. The great medical
man in charge complained dtithat
there was no ground for thecriti-
cism that oui. soldiers and sallors
in tie Philippines are becoming
crazy in large numbers, and as
lproof of his assertion said that
only seventy-five crazy men had
been brought back on the ship
with the Detroit unfortunate.
Only seventy-fye crazy. American
