PENHSYLVANIA CANAL BOATYARD AT ESPY 35 YEARS AGO SENATE WILL NOT FREE FILIPINOS Conference Report Makes No Provision For Independ ence in Fixed Time The Democratic Party and the Philippines THE PROMISE ~ • From the Democratic platform of 1912; . . We favor an immediate declara tion of the nation's purpose to rec ognize the independence of the Philippine Islands as soon as a stable government can be established, such independence to be guaranteed by us until the • neutralization of the Islands can be secured by treaty with other Powers. In recognizing the independence of the Philippines our Government should retain such land as may be necessary for coaling sta tions and naval bases. THE PERFORMANCE Provisions of Philippine bill No promise of independence with in fixed time. Present Philippine Commission abolished. Office of Governor General retain ed. Office of Vice-Governor created, to be filled by an American. Filipinos to elect a Senate In ad dition to present House. Electorate Increased from 200,- 000 to 800,000. Philippine legislative functions as to coir.age, currency and immigra tion measures subject to President's veto. —_______ Special to the Telegraph Washington, Aug. 17.—The Philip pine bill took final shape to-day, but the independence of the islands is ap parently as far off as ever. The Senate ratified the conference report on the Philippine bill by a vote of 37 to 22, but the Clarke amendment providing for a fulfillment within four years of Democratic promises made for sixteen years to set the islands free was elimlnatedi with the amendment to establish prohibition. But the pre amble to the bill carries the familiar recital that "it is and always has been the intention of the United States to grant independence wTien a stable gov ernment has been established" Senator Borah, of Idaho, characteriz ed the bill as a mockery which merely deceived the Filipino. He urged that it should not be passed. Voting for the bill, he said, bound a man to noth ing. Senator McLean, of Connecticut, Re publican, taunted the Democrats with not having carried out their promises with respect to the Philippines. They had tried conscientiously, he said, but hadi failed ignominiously. To a ques tion from Senator Williams, of Missis sippi, as to why "you Republicans don't help us," Mr. McLean retorted: "We are trying to help you to do something and to stop lying to these Filipinos." The conference report, which now goes to the House for approval, abolish ed the present Philippine commission appointed by the President and pro vides that the Filipinos shall elect a Senate, the first election to take place t.?xt month. The House is already elected by the people. With the elec tion of the Senate the electorate will be increased by about 600,000. About 200,000 Filipinos vote now. The office of govefnor general is retained and Men and Women Who Attended the Annual Gathering of B. of L.
