Voorheesvllle, N. Y., Oct. 29—In hi*
Cohlesklll speech Mr firyan quoted Sen
ator Depew on the army question:
*T want to show you what Mr. Depew
said only two year* ago An army of
100.000 was then being talked of ami he
said It would take more than that If
we carried out the colontel policy. He
said:
" "It would mean the Increase of our
army to 150.000. more likely lo 200.000 men.
It would mean the increase of our annual
expenditures to double what they are
r.uw 1
"That was two years ago. Now the
Republicans are advocating an Imperial
policy. Let me show you what Mr. D*-
pew said of that imperial Idea:
•• - You cannot have empire without all
It* attributes, ami that means a practical
revolution of our form* of government
and an abandonment of the bellefa which
the fathers held when they eatabltsheil
this government In 1770 '
"That t* the opinion of your own Sena
tor Depew only two year* ago. Your
President staled only three year* ago that
forcible annexation was rklmlnal nggre*.
slon and contrary to our code of morality,
and we say now what they said then, that
It mean* a revolution In government; It
mean* the abandonment of our Ideals. It
means that adoption of the eokmlal policy
against which our forefather* protested
123 year* ago. and before you Republican*
vote for that I want you to remember
that when you sign the death warrant
of self-government In the Philippine Isl
and* you sign the death warrant of our
own self-government In this country, when
you deny liberty to others you strike a
Mow at your own The best way to de
fend your own rights la to recognise the
rights of others."
