THIS GOVERNOR
TALKED TOO MUCH
Charges Have Been Brought Against
Regis n. Post, Of Porto
Rico.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 21.-Regis
II. Post, governor Of Porto Rico, has
been talking too much. He made a
speech recently which stirred up the
Porto Ricans and he has been sum-
moned to Washington by President
Roosevelt to make an explanation. He
arrived in New York yesterday and
reached Washington today. AS re-
suit of the governors remarks, charg-
es were filed against him at the White
House
Porto Rican newspapers received
here tell the story Of the speech of
Governor Post. According to them,
the governor attacked the superinten.
dent of education and the missionaries
of the various churches. He said the
work Of the department of education
had been worse for the people
than any other influence except that
of the missionaries. The attack caused
the prompt designations of all the Of
ficials Of the department of education.
The missionaries, however, began at
tacking the governor.
Governor Post is personal friend
|of the, President who has confidence
in him. The attack upon the governor
1t is said, comes from an enemy Of his.
This is being taken into consideration
at the White House.
