Whether at this moment I am trans gressing upon the sacred rights of my dear' friend and exalted Porto Rican, the Hon. Felix Cordova Davila, our official representative in Congress, to answer as he may choose these preposterous and unjustifiable insin uations; but if I may speak'on this auspicious occasion, not as a counsel might for a basely slandered client, but as one of the directly injured parties, as a Porto Rican, as a loyal American, let me say that our loyalty, the loyalty of the Porto Rican people, is not measured by their aspirations as to the ultimate form that shall assume their relations with the United States, but by their sense of honor. We owe loyalty to this great na tion as American citizens, and as American citizens, you may rest assured that we shall be loyal, and that to be such, as well in this occasion as in any other, no other consideration is necessary than our honor.
