THE CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE
F. b. McClanahan was received with
cheers which were repeated ana nlucn
more heartily at the conclusion OF ms
address Mr.. McClanahan spoke as
non-partisan in all matters except the
one of the Cuban issue, for the Ha-
xxaiian Delegate to Congress was a
business representative, working Tor
the interest of the Territory. He said:
For three weeks I have been telling
the people of the Territory something
better than politics. and L am gong
to speak on a matter tonight Wh1ch Is
higher than politics, for it is matter
of patriotism. That is the Cuban ques-

to the election of your Delegate to
Congress. 1t is question of patriot
ism and not a question of politics, be-
cause it affects united people, the
whole people of these islands, and a
question upon which we all stand
united.

that the occupation is only temporary
and that Cuba would have another
chance.
''What does another chance mean
but an invitation for another revolu-
ton? The statement pledges the gov
ernmeut to step i'll after another feNo-
luton and complete the annexation
Some think that the annexation Is lh-
evitahle Some think that it IS com

of the mainland and close every mill

'EThere is but one thing between US
and Cuban annexation. That IS the
public sentiment of the peopie OF the !
mainland, the sentiment which forced /
Congress to declare that tnha woniu >
