BLAME DEMOCRATS
FOR AGITATION
Republicans Frame Protest on
Disregard of Duties to
Filipinos.

Manila. April s.-News that the
Philippine scuttle bill, following the
Senate's action, had been reported IA
vorably in the House OF Representa-
tives at Washington. has increased the
resentment among Americans here
Many meetings have been held TO de-
nounce the Administrations policy, at
tended by Americans and Filipinos
alike. Governor General Harrison al
though disappearing, is poweriess TO
stop the agitation.
Among American residents making
the islands a political issue between
Republicans and Democrats is as BIT
terly resented as Governor Harrison's
dragging the civil service into poll
tics. The Republicans particularly
have drawn UP a protest for presenta-
ton TO the national convention in Chi
cago. Condemning the Administrations
stand, it says:
I'VE beiIeve that the welfare OF the
people of the Philippine Islands should
be the controlling factor in determin-
ing the form Of government of these
islands and their relations to the
limited States; therefore, we believe
that the so-called Philippine question
should not be made an issue between
American political parties. We re-
member with pride and satisfaction
the wears in which. under President
Mckinley, President Roosevelt and
President Taft, the administration OF
the Philippine Islands was neither Ke-
nublican nor Democratic, but Amerl-
can. We regret that so wholesome
nrinciple has been abandoned and that
the present Administration has seen
fiji TO be Democratic first and Amer
lean afterward, If at all. .
Living as We do among the I'm
pino people, we sympathize with their
asnirations. We condemn the timld
and selfish spirit Of those who, IN time
Of world war and jeopardy Of small
states would withdraw from them the
protection Of the American govern
ment and the guidance and support
of the American people. We scorh
those who, under the pretext OF self
protection. would expose the islands
to the dangers of their own UMPIRE
paredness and the greedy ambitions
Of other nations.
I'VE believe the discussion Of prem
allure independence for the Philippine
Islands only serves 20 retard that de-
velopment in wealth. education, unity
and civic capacity without which the
maintenance of independence would be
neither possible nor valuable We de
nounce the disregard of the present
Administration Of the spirit If not
tho letter, Of civil service principles
and We attribute the notorious deteri-
Grafton OF the Philippine government
in great part to the defamation and
encouragement Of the civil service"

both sides were in harmony as TO their
hopes. For one thing. II was SAID. IL

he would have TO support Mr.. Root II
the latter's name went before the con-

The meeting Of the Republican state
Committee yesterday was one OF the
most dramatic and at the same time
interesting meetings that the state COM
mitteemen have held in years. Its ram
ifcations even included the selection OF
prison sites when II came TO the lining
up of tho committeeman.
Leading the Barnes men on the floor
was Senator Elon X. Brown, the ma
iority leader Of the Senate, while OPP
posed to him, in the corner OF state
Chairman Tanner. was Speaker Thad-
deus Sweet Both men hail from the
same Senate district. and have been po-
litical opponents for years. Sweet nom
mated Mr.. Tanner, and Brown seconded
the nomination of Senator Wicks.
State Interests in Balance.
While on the surface the fight was
for the selection Of a state chairman,
there were many things interviewer IN
the fabric Of the meeting which al
fccted not alone national issues, but
those Of the state as well. II Is no
secret that Senator Brown is ambitious
10 be Governor. and there was the feel
ing that if the Barnes men had been
successful yesterday he would have had
good start in that direction. For IT
was Senator Brown who started the
fight against the reelection Of Tanner.
Both sides were confident when Chair
man Tanner called the meeting to or
der. The Barnes men, however. grew
worried when they learned that Senator
Towner had held conference with
Speaker Sweet Senator TOwner had
been counted in the Barnes ranks, but
it so happens that he has bill IN the
Assembly providing for the building OF
ii new prison at Wingdale. Prison re-
formers don't want this bill to 20
through. After talking 20 Speaker
Sweet. however. Senator Towner placed
the three votes from Duchess and Put
nam counties in the Tanner column.
George ". Aldridgc, the Republican
boss OF Rochester. was the ringmaster
for the Tanner side. and he performed
his work so well that the Barnes ma
iority Of the night before was turned
into a Tanner majority when the com
mittecmen got together.
Manhattan Helps Tanner.
Nr. Tanners reelection was brought
about primarily by the committeeman
from Manhattan. Twenty-Five Of the
New York County members voted for
him. while six lined up with the Barnes
crowd. ON the other hand, Nr. W icks
ran strong in Brooklyn. The Bronx and
Queens. In Brooklyn he got seventeen
votes 20 his credit, while Mr.. Tanner
garucrcd only six.
Nr. Tanner ran strong in Onondaga,
Erie and Monroe. There were only

proxies.
