entire session to the Philippine quesuon.
Mr.. Patterson OF Colorado, one OF the
minority members Of the Phillppne Com-
mittee, delivered his flrsf EXTENDED speech
In the Senate and was given most at
tehtive and careful bearing. he oiscus-
sed principally the sedition laws enacteo
by the Philippine Commission, vigorously
attacking the authority OF the Comms-
sion to enact and enforce such laws. ne
maintained that Congress alone had the
power to put in force enactments Oh tnat
character.
He compared information furnished by
the Executive Departments OF the gov.
ernment with some of the statements OF
Governor Taft, in his testimony before
the Philippine Committee with respect to
the capabilities Of the Filipipos. and de-
livered with some heat his belief that
Governor Taft misrepresented the true
situation In the islands for motives I'm.
known. He asserted that u the 100000
OF Christians IN the Philippines were Pro-
testant Christians, the cruelties practtsed
on them by the American authorities
would have to stop, ~ no member OF
Congress would be able to Withstand the
wrath Of the Methodists. Baptists and
Presbyterians Of this country.
Mr.. Nelson OF Minnesota, presented q
legal and constitutional argument IN sup.
port Of this governmental action In the

cised Mr. Patterson for injecting into the
controversy the question OF sectarianism.
