rival here today Mr.. Hughes. the Repup-
lican candidate for governor, was met at
the station by several score people and

clared that his one ambition in running
for the office of governor Is to give the
people OF the state square DEAL he

TO
HAVE NATIVE
PARLIAMENT

Washington, Oct. SO.-The president Is
preparing TO redeem his promise made to
the Philippine people through Secretary
Taft that they shall have a parliament
OF their own. conditioned upon their good
behavior for term OF two years and II
is understood that Secretary Taft him
self will proceed to the Philippines next
spring to witness the installation OF the
new form OF representative government
March a. 1905 the Philippine census
was published and consequently two
years from that date March q, 1907 under
the terms OF the act of congress the pres
ident will direct the Philippine commits
sion to call a general election for the
choice OF delegates to what Will be
known as the Philippine assembly. This
body is to take over all legislative powers
heretofore exercised by the Philippine
commission In that part of the archipel-
ago not inhabited by Moros or non
Christian tribes
AS this date draws near the Philippine
people are showing signs OF agitation and
TO the officials mere. 1t is evident that
they are expecting some benefits that
cannot at once be realized. For instance
the assembly OF provisional governors
recently in session In Manila with the
view or arranging the preliminaries Tor
the meeting OF the Philippine assembly is
reported 10 have recommended that the
suffrage be widely extended.
II is pointed out here that this is not
possible for the reason that the act ol
congress under which the assembly will
be convened expressly states the qualin-
cations of voters These In brief are that
the voter must be at least % years or
age ("which was the Spanish require
ment; must be able TO read and write
either Spanish or English; or must own
n certain small amount Of property or
must have been in the past an Office hold
er under the Spanish government
These qualifications were framed upon
the old Spanish practice and no Philip
pine assembly can change them.
The new assembly or legislature Will
consist of two houses to be known as the
Philippine commission and the Philippine
assembly. the latter TO consist of not less
than 90 nor more than one hundred mem
bers: 1t is probable that the present com
mission will be merged in the upper
house.

Woodruff objects to the publication In
parallel columns Of extracts from the
speeches OF the president and Mr. Hearst

Mr. Woodruff said concerning the pub
lication. 1T Is earnestly hoped that
President Roosevelt, who has 10 a degree
all along maintained a position that he
could not interfere in local politics. will
take up this matter and denounce the
author OF the Illusion. IL was expected
all along that some such effort as this
would be made by Hearst to influence the
voters
II am aware that the president is not
inclined To interfere In state, politics, but
In view OF this publication. l would
strongly urge that the president break
his silence and repudlate the author OF
or the man who would benefit by that
statement"
The publication referred to by Mr.
Woodrunff quotes President Roosevelts :
speech at oyster Bay, Sept s, 1896, when
he is quoted as saying that the multi
millionaire Is not a harm. but a good to
the community II he appreciates that he
is only a trustee for that wealth and
uses IL for causes of goodness. From a
speech by the president at Washington.
on July 6, last, he Is quoted as saying
that very wealthy men may sometimes
play useful part in life. but they rare

pended In different fields from those OF

Against this Mr.. Hearst is quoted in a

as far as is possible, an equal distribution

questions in the house of commons today
regarding the conclusion OF the modus VI
vendi on the fisheries question without the
adherence of Newfoundland Mr.. Churchill,
the parliamentary secretary for the colo
nial office, explained that the modus vi

ward incidents during the negotiations
necessitated by the action taken
by the colonial government In spite
OF the representations of his majesty s
government
The usual course had been followed in
consulting the colonial government at ev-
cry step but the ultimate responsibility
for any action taken by Great Britain In
order to give effect to treaty engagements
with foreign powers necessarily rested
with his majesty's government.
Foreign Secretary Grey announced that

sented TO the house as soon as II could be
