Palmer, said in part: "fn Denver !

son. Patterson told mo that Lodge
admitted to him that the Philippine
matter was not one Of philanthropy
aud stated TO him that we had those
islands for the purpose OF exploiting
them with American capital and that
We were going 20 do IT. Teller
told me that Aldrich told him that
