mornings session of the trial Of the

Goyernor-general Harrison's speech
TO local Democrats In September, 1913,
is becoming national issue.
He was quoted as saying that II
gave him a 'saturnine pleasure" for
the Democratic party to be in po-
sition 70 wallop Republican ofice-hold-

whenever affairs in the Philippines
are concerned and the Republicans
are losing no opportunity TO point to
It as an evidence Of Harrison's atti-
tude when on his way to take office
in Manila.
And, as might be expected. the gov.

made the remark.
In response to this tack. It is under
stood that the circumstances under
which the speech was delivered. the
speech itself, as quoted, and other In.

that Harrison not only made the re.
