Politics Injected.

The present administration is the
first to introduce politics in the Sc
lection of appointees. though two or
three Democrats preceded Mr.. Har-
rison in the governor general office.
In going over the matter with a promi-
nent Democratic attorney in Manila,
he expressed the opinion that a ma
ed under previous administrations
were of Democratic faith. and in the
selections made. character, fitness and
ability to do the work had been the
only consideration. The splendid
achievements accomplished in the
tion are the best proof of the wisdom
OF such a policy. But Gov. Harrison
served many years in Congress from
New York City and hence was brought
up in the Tammany School of politics.

maintaining the best. the most pro-
gressive government in all the Orient
and one from which Tammany could
learn much to the advantage of the
taxpayers Of New York City.
There is perhaps another reason
why the new governor should follow
such policy. He has publicly stated
his Indebtedness to Manuel ouezon for
the position he now holds. Quezon Is

islands to the American Congress, 10
