NEY MUSIC HILL PACKED WITH
PEOPLE LAST NIGHT

the Yale Democratic Club -severa
Ward Clubs Attended In Bod
Trusts, imperialism and Other Essuei
of the Campaign Discussed by the Mar
from Illinois.
Music hall on Court street was
packed last night with an audience of
about $500 persons to hear Hon. John
P. Altgeld, ex-governor of Illinois,
speak under the auspices Of the Yale
Democratic club. Several of the ward
democratic clubs Of the city attended
in bodies and the transparencies car
ried by the Ninth Ward club and by
the Cedar Hill club were placed upon
the stage. Not only was the main
floor of the hall filled but every availa-
BILE seat in the gallery was taken.
Mr.. Altgeld has q good delivery and
a strong voice, which made him heard
in all parts of the large hall. Ere
quently during the course OF his re-
marks he was Interrupted by loud APP
plause as his points found sympathy
among his hearers. Once during the
course of his speech a man in the CEN
ter of the hall yelled out some remark
about sixteen to one. The crowd about
the disturber was angered by his in
terruption of the speaker and dozens Of
men started for him to put him out
Mr.. Altgeld requested, however, that he
be permitted to stay, saying that in
stead of being bothered by sixteen to
one the man had probably had sixteen
and one, leaving the audience to guess
of what.
Attorney Talcott II. RUSSELL instruc-
tor in the Yale Law school on the Law
of Municipal Corporations, presided at
the meeting. On the stage were mem
bers of the Yale Democratic club and
prominent local democrats. Mr. Rus
sell introduced Governor Altgeld who
spoke for nearly two hours, closing his
address about 1920 He first talked of
monopolies and trusts. OF trusts he
said:
The trusts have absolutely controlled
this administration. At present we are
in this situation: We must repeal such
legislation as breeds monopoly, and
Of the laws against monopoly.
But the trusts take hand in poll
tics. They furnish Mark Hanna the
millions of corruption funds with
which to debauch the elections and
continue this administration in power.
SO far as / can learn, every great
monopoly in America Is supporting
this administration. Even the alleged
democratic stockholders In the re
publican ice trust of New York city
were against our platform and did not
like our candidate. The men who de-
bauch legielation--who pollute the
streams of justice-are shouting for
Mckinley.
He spoke at length on the situation in
the Philippines and Of the government
of the islands and said;
You ask then, What status are the
Philippines to occupy toward us?"
They are to be subjects. we are simply
stepping into SPANS shoes. Spain
ruled them by brute force, we are 60
ing to rule them not according to the
principles of our government, but ac-
cording to the principles Of the Spanish
government that IT, brute force.
