Towne Denounces Philippines Policy in Duluth Campaign Speech
Hon. Charles A. Towne opened his 1900 campaign in Duluth with a two hour address at the Armory denouncing Roosevelt administration policy in the Philippines. He argued the war grew from Dewey’s Manila Bay victory and urged independence for the islands, criticizing imperial pretensions and citing naval records. Towne said the Filipinos sought self government and warned that U S conduct estopped any claim to subjugate the islands. He also assailed Roosevelt’s St Paul speech as evasive and inconsistent.
