A year later he became private secretary to Mr. Taft, while governor of the Philippine Islands. From 1903 to 1904, Mr. Winthrop was judge of the Court of the First Instance in the Philippines. He was then appointed governor of Porto Rico, which position he held until 1907, when he became assistant secretary of the United States Treasury.
