bill, as follows:
Senator spooner Of Wisconsin said to-
night: Whatever is done with the ques-
ton will not serve TO alter the result
next November. Mr.. Mckinley will be
renominated and reelected"
Representative Richardson OF Tennes-
see said: THE great change Of politl-
cal sentiment that has swept over the
country within the last few months is
largely due TO the yacillating policy OF
tn President, and 10 the action of the
Republicans In Congress. 1t is, in my
opinion, practically sure indication Of
Democratic victory next fall. That a
change has taken place there is no
doubt. The attitude OF that party to-
wards Puerto Rico has been severely
rebuked by men Of every political be-
lief. In a word. the Republicans have
lost ground and the Democrats have
gained ground"

that no matter what the Republican
party may do it's past action will go

that the majority OF the people OF the

Puerto Rico as part OF the United
States. that they ara IN favor OF free
trade between the United States and
that island. | think that whatever ac-
ton may be taken, It VIII now count
