OTHER RAILROAD CONTROVERSIES

There is another condition In the rail
road affairs of this State which | have
believed to be In violation OF our Con-
sttution and laws and which I have
undertaken to correct by suits which have
been finally submitted for decision in the
Supreme Court of the State. For years
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company has
owned and conducted coal mines and ele-
vators in this State as private business
enterprises. and in company with the
Wabash Railroad Company has owned and
ONO ed the Pacific Express Company.
But recently, the Missouri Pacific, to-
gether with the Iron Mountain. subsidi-
lry company. acquired controlling inter-
est in the stock Of the Wabash Company,
which is a parallel and competing line
Of the Missouri Pacific. AS the Constitu-
tion prohibits the consolidation of parallel
and competing lines. and as the laws pro-
vide that railroad companies shall fur
nish the same facilities to all express
companies and conflne their business
solely to that Of transportation, I be-
lieved that these conditions were unlaw-
full and instituted a suit to bring about
their correction.
RAILROAD OPPOSITION TO MY CAM
DiDAcY.
I am advised by men who pretend to
know that on account of these contro-
VeFSleS tnat / nave .COnQucte0 on Denal1
of the people Of Missouri against the
railroad companies Of the State. that the
railroad companies are opposing me and
favoring Mr.. Cowherd for governor
do not know whether this statement Is
true or not but / say here and now that
II MIR. Cowherd. or any OF his railroad
friends, can show wherein | have ever
done or tried to do a railroad company
single act Of injustice. I will withdraw
from the race and request the people of
the State to vote for Mr.. Cowherd. All
that I have tried to compel the railroads
Of the State to do is that which each and
every citizen Of Missouri has to do-obey
| its laws. do not want to see a rail-
road company deprived of single cent
to which II Is legally entitled; do not
want to see any railroad company treated
with injustice or unfairness. And II
am elected Governor Of this State, I will
as unhesitatingly veto a bill which treats
a railroad with Injustice as would veto
bill which treats the people with In
Justice Nor do think that the railroads
should be compelled to reduce their
charges for transportation. unless 1t can
be shown, or seems reasonably certain.
that under the rates proposed they can
make fair return upon the value of their
investment. But when the evidence ex-
lists which shows that their charges are
too high and that they are levying an un-
fair tribute upon the people Of Missouri.
IN such a case ] win fight them until
they treat you fairly.

WHAT HAVE ENpEAvoREp TO Ac.
coMPllSA.

In these antitrust suits that which /
have endeavored TO accomplish is TO re-
lieve the people of the oppression and evils
Of monopoly by giving them the benefit OF
free competition. My efforts have been to
accomplish n correction Of existing evils
and abuse. rather than to iniict punish
ment for past offenses and leave uncor-
rectcd the evils and abuses which consti-
tute those offenses. In this work do not
claim to have been entirely successful. 1
d1 claim. however to have accomplished
something. And today the people Of Mis-
soiiri have fairer conditions Of trade and
freer competition in practically every i'm
portant article of commerce than thew
had when I was elected to office. II
was the notoriety seeker which some Of
my Democratic opponents assert, who
cared nothing except for his own glori1ca-
tion and advancement. I could easily have
settled the Standard OIL litigation three
years ago for an amount far In excess OF
all the fines imposed AGAINST corporations
for the violation of our laws during the
entire history of the State. IN my con-
ception Of the duties Of my Office, I aid

This same officer recently refused to pay
any attention to similar processes issued
against him by the Attorney General OF

WHAT / CLAIM FOR MYSELF.

This Is the record of service that ]
offer to the people Of Missouri as a prom
Use of the way I will endeavor to serve
YOU if elected to the office Of governor. I
do not claim that | have done anything
as Attorney General beyond my plain
duty. do not claim that have accom-
pished all that | would like to have ac-
Icnmpishcd ] do claim that | have en-
dcavored to do that which was best for
the pconlc of the State. and that I have
accomplished something in the way OF
practical results. | do claim that today
Missouri stands in the lead in that great
nation wide movement for honest bust
ness and the correction of the evils and
abuses Of our-induStrial and commercial
systems, and that to Missouri not only
do the States of the Union turn. but
also the National Government for assist
ance and advice in the carrying forward
of this great work of reform.
1t is claimed by some of my political
opponents that there are violations Of law
by corporations in this State that | have
not brought suits to correct or punish.
That may he true. There Is a limit to
what enc man or one office can accom-
plish In three years and six months and
then it Is always easy to criticise. ] have
endeavored TO do first what I considered
most important. / have consistently re-
fused to commence any suit in response
to popular clamor for political effect, or
in any case where 'did not believe a
useful public purpose would be subserved.
In case the suit was successful. And I
have tried to so conduct the affairs Of
my office that in so far as I could accom-
plish, and in so far as | could prevent.
no man and no corporation, however
strong and powerful, could feel that they
were above the law or that they could
violate the law with impunity. And II I
have succeeded In putting the fear of the
law into the minds OF men who never felt
that fear before. then can feel that my
official efforts have not been in vain even

have been told that there are men in this

will vote for me for governor.-I do not
know that this n true. But II II is,
wish to say to those men that there Is
not a man upon the Republican State
ticket who is not as worthy Of your sup

confidence In me to vote for me, ask
you TO have sufficient consideration for
me to give me men as my associates In
the State government who will work In
harmony with me for the protection Of
the peoples interests. And II you en-
trust to US the conduct Of the affairs Of

PHASE OF
THAW CASE REVEALED

Representatives as well as the gener-
al public Attorney Littleton joined
in the motion. Proceedings were
then suspended until Monday when
Justice Bowling will announce his
decision.
BY continued objections, Jerome
fairly tore Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
testimony into shreds causing it to
lose many of the little touches of hui
man interest which were part of the
story as told last year. Jerome said
his objections were intended to cut
out all stories about pet cats and a
lot of other stuff which have no place
in the trial.
Mrs. William Thaw was assisted to
the stand and told of her sons
strange conduct after meeting Evelyn
Nesbit. On account of her weaken
ed condition, her examination was in.
terrupted by consent of the court, to
be resumed some time next week.
Miss Alice C. Fletcher, of Wash
ington, d. c., said she had known
= law 26 years and he always i'm
pressed her as being irrational.
The two door men at the police
station repeated their stories OF
Thaw's irrational appearance and his
complaining of noises which did no;
exist.
