When, in this city Governor Taft

said he experienced feelings of the
strongest affection for many of those
with whom he had been associated as
Governor General of the archipelago.
That they ardently desire an indie
pendent existence and self-govern-
ment is a proposition which i do not
think can be successfully controvert-
ed. although i know that it has been
by those who advocate the retention
of the islands by the United States.
The development of the commerce

The small States insisted upon equal representa-
ton in the United States Senate with the larger
States, and it finally agreed that the matter
should be adjusted by putting in the Constitution of the
United States the provision that all bills
should originate in the House of Representatives.
that every State should be entitled to two United
States Senators.

To make United States Senators elective by popular

If the people not competent to select repre-

The candidates for the United States Senate would
be nominated in political convention and the voters
would support the nominee of their party. Trading

The millionaire would have, in my judgment,

"The total cost of this Improvement

the tunnel was authorized in 1900. and IL
expected to be in operation by the first

a much longer time to complete.
''The Boston tunnel will connect East
