Digest Straw Vote Shows Many
Demos Switching.
Herbert Hoover Draws Biggest
Vote From Opposite Party.

New York, May 1.-THE Literary
Digest for Saturday gave Leonard
Wood lead as the popular choice for
president, as expressed in a. poll of
more than one million votes. More
than 10 per cent of the eleven mil
lion who were asked to express their
choice responded and replies represent
a fair average. The table shows 49,
124 Democrats to be in favor of the
Republican presidential candidates.
South Atlantic states give 81, 1927
votes to the Democratic candidates,
and 21,324 to the Republicans. East
south central and west south central
states show slightly more Democrat
ic complexion, but figures for the lat
! ter group give the Democratic vote as
30.283 against Republican vote of
25.585 and is certainly arresting con-
siderable attention.

time when the president and vice pres

pire next year twenty-five are Repub-

filled offer a wide range, both in terms
and salaries. Among the state eXecu-
tives whose terms expire are Frank ..
Lowden of Illinois. the highest paid
governor in the country, and S. r.
McKelvie of Nebraska, the poorest
paid. Mr.. Lowden receives $4,000

Territorial Chiefs Get More.
Territorial governors are better
paid than the average state executive
and two of the four are appointed for
indefinite terms, with the result that
they remain in office as long, as a rule,

general of the Philippines, tops the
last of territorial executives with an
indefinite term and a $4,000 yearly
salary. Arthur wager, governor of
Porto Rico, receives $4,000 and is ap-
pointed for an indefinite term. Gov

contact with all classes of the people.
l found, however, that the viewpoint
Of Americans in the Philippines, and
Americans In the United States, on the
subject Of independence, is not the
same.
The attitude of the American gov
ernment, and the great mass of the
people of the United States, is to con-
slider the Philippine question from the
unselfish viewpoint of what Is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-five
per cent of the opposition to inde-
pendence emanates from American in
vestors in the islands who are quite
of their dividends than the freedom of
an alien people.
The unfortunate feature of the sit
uation is that the opponents of inde-
pendence, in order TO convince the peo-
pie of the United States that the Fill
pinos should not be granted their in
dependence, find it necessary to libel
an entire race To tell a sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not fit for it will in
the end prove mistaken policy. 1t
will only make their demand for in
dependence the stronger.
At the present time, however, the
masses of the Filipino people still
have absolute confidence in the good
faith Of America. Their loyalty and
gratitude to Uncle Sam has not as
yet been impaired by the misrepre-
sentationS of the retentionists. Their
leaders are intelligent enough to dis
tinguish between those Americans
who oppose their aspirations to in
dependence for purely selfish reasons,
and the great mass of the American
people whom they know desire this
government to do by the Filipinos
only that which is Just and right.
In this connection, it is interesting
to review the development of the pres
ent friendly relationship between the
Filipino and American peoples.
Previous to 1916 the Philippine
American relationship is declared to
have been not of the best. But with
the passage in that year of the Jones
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships of Con-
gress, better feeling developed. This
better feeling" has now grown into
very strong bond of sympathy and
affection.
The happy attitude of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin-
cipally to the fact that Americans
have shown the Filipinos how to make
their country better place to live in !;
not principally to the fact we have
superintended the implanting in the
Philippines of one of the finest edu-
cational systems in the world nor to
the building of high class roads,
bridges and public works-but is due

Gives Interesting Views on Island Affairs.


principally to the fact that In the
Jones law America gave the F1l1pinos
her word of honor that as soon as
stable government could be estaDllsh-
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
It might, at first thought, seem
strange that in their sincere appre-
citation of all that we have done for
| them the Filipino people should place
| most emphasis on the promise to grant
| them their independence. For 1T can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
| the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated a dependent alien
people in all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn of civilization. Ii
we do not spoil it, it is a record that
we can be proud of.
But it really isn't so strange that
| the Filipino should love us more for
our promise to give them sovereignty
| over themselves than for our other
good works, for which, after all, out
side of army and navy expenditures,
the Filipinos have been taxed, and
| properly So for every cent OF the cost.
If we but reverse the situation, and
place ourselves in the shoes of the
Filipinos, which cannot be said to be
an unfair way of getting at the other
| fellows viewpoint, we shall see that
| it is not strange.
| Suppose that Great Britain or any
other power that you can think OF by re-
ferring to your geography or history,
| should impose it's sovereignty upon US
against our will and then give US an
infinitely better government than we
now enjoy? Could any such foreign
power ever succeed in convincing us
that it had our welfare more at heart
than we have ourselves.
| But to return to my story, the Fill
pinos heartily thanked us for the
Jones law, considering it sort of a
covenant between the Filipino and
American peoples, and Immediately
applied themselves to the task of set
ting up the prescribed stable govern
ment. And they set it up. 1t is in
the Philippines now. Americas own
representative in the islands, the gov
ernor general, officially reports it is
| there, and recommends that since the
FilipinOs have earnestly fulfilled their
part of the agreement, America should
be as prompt in carrying out its part
of the contract.
So that, in a few words, it Is not
but the United States.
There is but one answer. America
will carry out its agreement. And
since we are going to do it, we cannot
afford to bubble and split hairs and
hesitate until our tardiness robs US
Let us act with promptness and will
ingness really worthy of America.
And when the people of the United
States set up the Philippine Republic
as the first Christian democracy of
the Far East, they will be building a
monument to themselves that will
stand throughout eternity. On that
day the beacon light of hope, humanity
and justice will flash around the world.
Such an example by America will ac-
complish more for the weak and strug-
Cling peoples of the earth than the
in life and treasure.
