VOLUME 11. DEMOCRATS MAY FREE PHILIPPINES Manuel L. Quezon Commissioner From the Islands Is Urging Their Independence. WAS AGUINALDO’S LIEUTENANT Third Time Democrats Have Embod- ied Filipino Freedom in Their Platform. WANTS INDEPENDENCE SOON Says “My People Are All For It” Even to The Most Conservative. « Washington, May 24.—If the Fili- ence from the Democratic. adminis- tration, the first statue to go into the hall of fame of the Philippine Repub- lic ought to be that of Manuel L. Quezon, the senior commissioner from the islands who sits in congress. Quezon is a bundle of live wires charged with dynamic energy. Al- most single-handed he has been car- rying on the campaign for Philippine independence since he first came to congress as resident commissioner four years ago—but with such good success that the Democratic party more last year, and the administra- tion is showing every indication of carrying out this policy at the earl- iest possible opportunity. But lately Quezon has been finding by experience that his pen is might- ier than the sword. He was a sec- ond lieutenant in Agumaldoa army before he was 15 years old. He rose in the service to the rank of major. | When Quezon came to the United . States four years ago he knew only a few words of English. He at once realized that if he were to attain in- to make speeches on the floor of the house in English. He took up a study of the language. The other told me that of all the men in con- gress—judges, lawyers, and learned ‘men used to public speaking—Quezon uses the most perfect English in his Temarks. . He not only speaks perfectly, but with great effect. He is always list- ened to with great attention. At the + conclusion of his first speech he re- ceived an ovation, and Speaker Clark summoned him to the speaker’s plat- form and congratulated him. The keynote of all his work in the United States is the immediate recog- nition of the independence of his people. Quezon’s earnestness, abil- ity and patriotism have done ‘much to promote the cause of his people. With his forceful logic, his magnetic personality, and his young attractive figure, together with his hard-learned English savoring a little bit of that Oriental quaintness which makes it “Covtinued on last paxe) " PRAISES REV.
