TRUSTS AND EXPANSION
DISCUSSED AT THE OPENING OF THE
MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN.
Points from the Address Of the Junior
Indiana Senator-Hanna and
Root to Speak.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. 25.-The
Michigan fall campaign was opened in the
Auditorium here this evening by United
States Senator Albert j. Beveridge, of In
diana. The big hall was packed to the
doors. After being introduced by Congress
man William Alden Smith. Senator Bev-
eridge said in part:
'If we put the issues of this campaign
into two words they must either be
progress or reaction A nation can never
stand still. And the two great questions
which face the voter for his decision are
the trust question and the expansion ques-
ton.
Trusts are the outgrowth of our COM
mercial system. They are necessities of
modern life. In 1900 the population of the
United States was scattered broadcast over
the land. To-day 1t is thickly packed into
a great nerve system, honeycombing the
land, and the cities are the centers of this
system. The old village merchant cannot
cope with the demands of the new world.
The industrial combination is a necessity.
I'VE admit that these trusts have evils
and these evils must and shall be remedied
The light of publicity must be cast upon
watered stock must be forever done away
with. Our opponents say that free trade
will remedy this evil. In answer / point to
England. the living example of free trade.
Yet. England Is the home of the trust
LAS commerce has made necessary the
trust, so 1t has made necessary expansion
The only way to make permanent the fu-
ture prosperity of the land is to invent some
way to consume our surplus. The Ques-
ton il then where shall we turn for new
markets? History points to the East. We
have raised our flag over the Philippines.
We have introduced American products and
American methods. We have gained pres
tige which will open to us the markets of
China and her SoO,OO0.00o of consumers
Shall We retreat? No. the voters of the
United States will never allow the stars
and stripes to be drawn down from the
masthead on the throne of the Pacific They
stand with President Roosevelt for ex-
pansion.
These two are the great issues which
face us at the present. These are the vital
questions of the hour. The decision must
be in the hands of the voter. He will say
whether that administration shall be sup
ported which stands back of 10000 boys In
blue in the islands of the Pacific. back of
the teachers and physicians who are min
istering to the physical and mental needs of
foreign natives, or that band of insurgents
who are shooting down the flag abroad and
at home"

Young Candidate for Congress Has a
Reputation for Them.

In the campaign of 1900 there was prob
ably no campaigner more popular with all
the masses as an entertainer than Freder-
ick Lands. the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Eleventh district. Mr.
Lands became famous for telling epigrams
and some of his friends have brought to
light some of his best ones. Among them
are the following:
"A Bryanistic argument is like door
knob. II is no use until turned around
Bryan thinks 1t takes nothing but wind
to run the ship Of state.
This is the last campaign OF the nine
William Bryan. The first rays of the
dawning cycle will fall upon his political
tomb heaped with a wilderness OF repu-
dated predictions and rsgtime medleys OF
craftsmanship"
1.-The people of the United States propose
to do their own 'paramounting In this
campaign The man who did IL in 1896 con-
fesses that he went TO the wrong address.
How like the sunsets are Democratic
always different"
"The Democratic party has a thousand
legs and it never stands upon the same leg
twice"
I'VE have conquered the spaniards and a
Democratic panic"
MORO Castle and the souphouses have
fallen"
"Labor's dinner pail is heavier now and
labor's heart is lighter"
Prosperity puts US In good humor
and a man in a good humor is half Re-
publican"
Man Is the wisest of animals except
when he votes the Democratic ticket"

Russell, colored, who murdered Perry
Stout In the river bottom of Gibson county,
was executed at 12:12,1 this morning at
the State prison. To-day his body will
be shipped to his wife, at Princeton, for
burial.
Russell's last hours were marked by a
remarkable composure, a condition that
has characterized his conduct through his
confinement at the prison. Chaplain Hen
derson spent much of the evening with the
condemned man, after the reading of the
death warrant by Warden Reid. He ap-
peared TO be resigned to his fate and
patiently awited the hour of his execution.
Promptly at IL o'clock the death march
from the cell to the scaffold was started.
At the scaffold Russell assembled the steps
unassisted and within one minute after
leaving his cell the murderer of Perry
Stout swung of into eternity. Thirteen
and one-half minutes after the drop fell
the attending physicians declared Russell
dead, after which the body was turned
over to a local undertaken, who will pre-
pare the remains for shipment to Prince
ton.
The hanging Of Lewis Russell is the fifth
execution in the northern prison, William
Jones. Joseph D. Keith. John Rinkard and
William B. Wilson being the others to die
on the scaffold.
Lewis Russell murdered another colored
man during drunken carousal of negroes

west of Princeton, on April % of this
year. The men were employed at a sawmill
and after work gathered TO have what they
called fish fry and frolic." Russell and
