FILIPINO "DEMOCRATA" WINS
Party Carries Manila for First Time
NacionaIistas Rule Blouse of
Representatives.

Manila, P l., June 10-The Demo
crata party won sweeping victory
in the city of Manila in the general
election, carrying its entire ticket This
included one member of the senate of
the Philippine legislature, two men,
bers of the lower house Of that body
and the, entire city council. This is
the first victory here for this party
since the legislature was established
The outstanding feature of the cleo
ton was the strength displayed by the
Democratic party wherever it had nom-
mated candidates. Upon the basis of
incomplete returns political leaders
estimate the Nacionalista party would
continue to control the house of rep
resentatives with approximately 80
members out of a total of 90. An en-
tire new house of Representatives was
chosen and one-third of the senate
seats were filed. Governors Of prov
inces and other provincial officers were
also elected.

mand the attention of readers every
Swhere. Many Of the authors opinions
and statements are fantastic from the
%American point of view, but interest in
the narrative is increased, rather than
lessened, by this fact. Old controversies
are sure to be revived, old discussions
renewed by the former Kaiser's defense
of Germany and his attacks on the lead
ers of other nations. For instance, he
takes seriously the old canard about
secret treaty against Germany and
Austria, in 1897, by the United States

one of his declarations that will amaze
