The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1899-09-08

Judge Severance made labor
day speech in Mankato. Monday,
that has created quite a sensation
through the territory where he is
we'll known. The following from
the Pioneer Press: Judge Sever
ance's subject was the legal aspect
of trusts, and he took the ground
that the only way to reach trusts
is by the state Legislatures, which
have supreme power. After de-
nouncing trusts and plutocrats, he
declared that territorial expansion
is wholly in the interest of pluto
cracy. II haven't the slightest
hope that these evils will ever be
remedied. Plutocracy has its grip
on the throat of the country and
the country will never be restored
to it's pristine condition except by
revolution, and that is not likely
to occur. I can now look with
complacency on despotisms, for
there is more genuine liberty in
Russia to-day than in the United
States. An absolute despotism is
better than republic fallen into
the hands of plutocracy. Iwish I
could say something hopeful, but
1 cannot conscientiously do so.
Plutocracy has such an insiduous
way of exercising its power that it
cannot be combatted. Employees
have the alternative of voting with
plqtocracy or starving, and any
man will sell his vote rather than
see his family starve; and this is
the reason why plutocracy has it's
grip on the throat of the country
and why it is going to keep it
there"

Ex-senator Squire, of the state
of Washington, is an ardent ex-
pansionist. He said: Il am an ex-
pausionist. l wouldent be happy
without it. The gold in Alaska
and the other minerals as we'll as
the wealth of lumber, have given
that country a great impetus, and
the U. S. is benefited thereby. I
believe that under the wise con-
troll and guardianship of the U. S.,
the Philippines would expand and
grow and flourish wonderfully, as
we'll as Hawaii and our other DOS
sessions"
Senator Elkins, of W., Va, who
was in town this week, is confident
of the early ending of the Filipino
revolt. He sale: II make the pre-
diction that the instruction will
be abandoned by January. I am
confident of this. The Filipinos
who are in rebellion will be crush
ed and will make no more trouble
The campaign is to be waged re-
lentlessly after the middle cf Oc-

Mr.. John R. McLean's object in
getting the democratic nomination
for governor of Ohio, when he
knew that he had not The slightest
chance of election, is no longer a
puzzle. It is not the second place
on the ticket with Bryan that he
is after, although he will probably
take that if he can get it. His real
object is to try TO sneak into the
o. s. senate by attempting to car
rh the legislature by trading votes
for governor for votes for men,
bers Of the legislature. He knows
that he cannot be elected governor
and his scheme is to concentrate
fis shrewdest workers into suffi-
cient number of close legislative
districts and try to work the trad
ing game, giving democratic votes
for Nash in exchange for republi-
can votes for Mclean legislative
candidates. It is an old game, but
now that his intentions are known
it will have no chance of success.
