A special delegation Of Filipinos. Of.
flcially representing the Filipino peo-
pie, attended the Republican and Dem
ocratic National conventions, seeking
an Endorsement of the Filipino desire
for independence in the two platforms.
Their arguments, briefly stated, were
as follows:
First.-That the American Declara-
ton of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con-
gress, In the Jones law, solemnly prom
ised the Filipinos independence upon
the establishment of stable govern
ment. and that their claim that the
said stable government is now In ex-
istence In the islands has been official
ly confirmed by Americas own repre-
sentatiyes there; and
Third.-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion of self determine
tion," American soldiers having been
told II was ono Of the things they
we're lighting and dying for.

BY WILLIAM j. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by young Filipino by the name
Of Jose p. Melencio He has charge of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the ilippines-under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted--and at Georgetown, D. G..
lie is remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace of en-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength Of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment Of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as If he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. 1t
was remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of indie
pendence I was proud of this illustra-
ton of what the Filipino is capable.

The Filipinos declare they have no
grudge or grievance against the Amer
lean people. Their appeal is accom-
panied by message of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has done
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gave independence to Cuba, and
they hope that they, too, will receive
that boon without which, they declare.
no civilized and patriotic people can
enjoy the maximum of happiness and
self-respect.

Seventy per cent of the inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten years of
age, according to a census just COM
pleted, are literate. This is a higher
percentage Of literacy than that Of any
South American country, higher than
that of Spain and higher than that of
any of the new republics of Europe
whose independence is being guaran-
teed by the Allies.

in their desire for Independence
