with him during the days of the re-
construction OF the government Of
the far eastern Archipelago. He was
charged by the secretary with the
codification Of the laws Of the Phil
ippines, and later organized the CON
stabulary which he has done, and is
doing, great good.
During the campaign OF 1904
Judge Parker, the Democratic can-
didate, gave out a statement, in
which he viciously attacked the adj
ministration in the Philippines, bas-
ing his views on a book written by
correspondent, Gen. Edwards, chief
Of the bureau of insular affairs, cab
led the interview to Gen. Wright,
and requested him to, answer 1T.
This he did in most decisive man
ner. His conduct on that occasion
newer has been forgotten by the
president and Secretary Taft.
It was suggested that the appoint
ment of Gen. Wright might give
further offense to the negroes. i
appears, however, his record in thi.
respect is entirely satisfactory tx
the administration.
