TOWNE’S GREAT SPEEGH. Tue Duluth News-Tribune 1s one of the most radical of black Republi- ean papers, but it-is honest enough to Liesl Senator Charles A. Towne closed his career, for the present, in the United States senate on Monday of this week, when Moses E. Clapp: was sworn in and took Mr. ‘Towne’s seat. The retiring senator spoke for over two hours on the Philipine question Mon- day, ‘That the eloquent Minnesotan stands foremost among statesmen and orators in this generation of Americans 1s made plain by the praises accorled him even by hisgbitterest political ene- mies. The Minneapolis Journal's special. correspondent from Washing- ton gives the following preface to the regular abbreviated press report of the speech: “Charles A. Towne’s senatorial ca- reer is closing in a blaze of glory. His anti-imperialistic address before the senate is regarded as the most forceful words ever spoken in either house of congress against the administration’s Philippine policy. This is an high es- timate, and may not be lasting, but it is what Republicans as weil as Demo- crats are saying today. “The address embraces 20,000 words) and it was more than two hours in de- livery. It was very carefully prepared and was hberally punctuated with quo- tations from official documents. No until late last night did Mr. Towne finish the wnting of the pereoration. Obviously, it was an address to be read from manuscript and not to be trusted to memory, but the reading did not mateirally interfere with the effectiveness of delivery. elt him the high compliment of eager and unremitting attention. The galleries were crowded. Every newspaper man at the capital was in the senate press gallery. Every Democratic senator was in his seat, and more than half of the Republicans. Scores of members of the house, Republicans and Demo- crats, including the Minnesota delega- tion, lined the walis of the senate chamber and filled every chair and |sette. There has not been such an laudience in the senate since Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, a year ago de- livered his widely-heralded maiden speech on the Philippines. “There was no suggestion of inter- fering with the sp2ech, an article in a morning Washington newspaper to the contrary notwithstanding.
