Mr.. Lodge then argued that the Fipinos were
incapable of sef-government and quoted William
Jennings Bryan and prominent Democratic Sena-
tors in support Of his assertion. He believed there

AS bearing upon the recent statement of Senator
Pettigrew, OF South Dakota, that Admiral Dewey
had recognized the Filipino government at the
capture OF Eubig Bay, Mr.. Lodge presented the
