We believe that liberty, as well as the
constitution, follows the flag. Democrats,
in common with many republicans, oppose
the Porto Rican law as a violation of the
constitution and fragrant breach OF
good faith toward a dependent people.

quired under democratic administrations
was, with favorable climatic conditions,

territory contiguous to our own, and ac-
qured with the declared tntenton-when
