Governor Wright--1904 446-498
Shows the change of the tone of the government under Governor
Taft's successor, his consequent popularity with his fellow-country
men in the Islands, and his corresponding unpopularity with the
Filipinos. Shows also a long series of massacres of pacificos by
enemies of the American government between July and November,
1904, permitted out of super-solicitude lest ordering out the
army and summarily putting a stop to said massacres might affect
the presidential election in the United States unfavorably to
Mr. Roosevelt, by reviving the notion that neither the Roosevelt
Administration nor its predecessor had ever been frank with the
country concerning the state of public order in the Islands.
