1t has been announced that Coxey was

This country IS becoming ripe for just
such great movement. The Indications
point that way Look at Roosevelt In
some respects he is more radical than
ever dared to be, and he is the head of the
great conservative party of the country.
The President is Just now busy trying to
haho IL appear tllal ue IS Dclng prosecuted
by conspiracy of corporation magnates.
He Is doing this because he knows that it
is the popular thing to do, that the people
are IN the humor to demand radical &C
tons, and all this would be very pleasing
and satisfactory If we could believe that
the President Is sincere. But is he sincere?
In view of the revelations In relation to his
dealing with Hartman. taking his own
statements for evidence we have a
right to entertain doubts. 1 will believe in
his sincerity when, and only when a few
OF the railroad magnates who have VIC
lated the laws are in the penitentiaries.
In my crusade I shall advocate my nom
interest-hearing bond plan, which would
furnish an elastic currency that would for
ever Danish the danger of money strn-
gency, as it would allow state municipali-
ties and townships to utilize and legalZe
their own credit. / would also advocate the
government ownership of public utilities.
am ten years ahead of Mr.. Bryan on this
platform. l refer to my testimony before
the ways and means committee in Washing
ton In 1895, when said that the great ques-
ton was whether the railroads are going
10 own this government or the government
Is going to own the railways, and l pre-
dicted In ten years the great issue of gov
eminent ownership would come to a head
In the meantime. l said the country would
experiment with government control until
Ii found that government control would not
control. My words are being fulfilled and
you Will see that they will be fulfilled to
the end In eight or ten years from today
CoXey will not be considered such a radical
as he has been In the past"
