"Not Against The King” Mr. Whittaker said there had been a great fight on the question of the affirmation, and there had been much suffering caused by it, and he felt they must take every advantage of what the law which brought the affirmation gave them.
"As far as I know," he continu-' ed, "it has
mentioned never
any- thing with regard to the Almighty Antamoks Sovereignty of the Sovereign. I Atoks am not against the King in any Baguio Gold shape or form, and I am prepared Balatoc Mining to act like an ordinary Englishman Benguet Consol. Benguet Explor and to give his right and do my Big Wedge duty as a citizen."
Mr. Whittaker denied that he was "one of those people who like to make a row."
