Senator Wades Into Philippine Policy In Senate Debate

In a lengthy Senate session on the Philippine question, a senator attacked imperialism and urged adherence to the old Republican faith. He warned that abandoning liberty in the Philippines could cost the party control and argued for justice to distant Asiatics while reminding Americans at home of constitutional rights. The debate touched on Cuba, Spain, and the Paris treaty, with references to Negro suffrage and state constitutions aimed at disenfranchising Black voters. In Chicago the American League season opener was postponed due to poor field conditions, and in Missouri a wealthy orphan inherited substantial sums from a Dutch nobleman.
