Senator Campbell would not be the
only candidate McCracken would
present, according to present indica-
lions, as Judge Il. T. Lightfoot, Hal
5. Corbett and Judge w. A. Berry all
have friends who would urge them to
get into the campaign, and with the
four from one county there ought to
be enough interest and excitement TO
please the most exacting.
In fact, almost every county west
OF the Tennessee river would have
one or more candidates, while in the
"over the river" counties there Is also
much available timber. In Marshall
county Judge Il. Berry, editor of the
Benton Tribune, would be likely
entry, and with his strong personality
and clean political record he would
prove strong factor. He has served
a term in the legislature as a repre-
sentative of his district and made an
enviable record. He would develop

Then there is another danger. There
are the radicals. who hate men OF
wealth. because they have wealth. In
fighting corrupt wealth the president
| IS always in danger of being classed
with the radicals. and he must needs
steer clear'of that danger. which he
does in the following words:
Under no circumstances would We
countenance attacks upon lawabiding
property, or do aught but condemn
those who hold up rich men as being
evil men because of their riches. On
the contrary, our whole effort is to in
sist upon conduct. and neither wealth
nor property nor any other class dts
tinction, as being the proper standard
by which to judge the actions of
men"
Instead of carping at the president
for going to such fulsome lengths in
his messages, the people should read
them. and consider them well, being
thankful that at last we have a presi-
dent. who takes the public into his
confidence. He is considered a dan
gerous man by those influences
which have controlled legislation and
whose hand in national politics has
been concealed for the sake OF their
campaign contributions: influences.
which as the president has shown
affect colleges through large endow-
ments. silence preachers. and spread
the gospel of their methods by means
of subsidized press, their press bu-
reaus and hired counsel. These com
bined influences are at the bottom or
every attack on the president. either
that he is fighting legitimate business
Interests, of that he is fooling the peo-
pie and doing nothing.
Not only should the president be
upheld. but the people should see to
it that the next administration is of
the same calibre, with one at the
head, who is in perfect sympathy with
the policies being pursued, until the
spirit, which lies behind II seeks
deep into the hearts of the people"

welt in his message to congress, refer
ring to the efforts of the administra-
.-tion ito control law defying wealth, =
and he gives as the reason:
"In the first place to prevent its
doing dire evil to the republic, and
in the next place to avoid the vindic-
tive and dreadful radicalism which, If
left uncontrolled, II is certain in the
end to arouse. sweeping attacks upon
all property upon all men of means,
well or i'll, would sound the DEATH
knell of the republic; and such at
tacks become inevitable if decent cit
izens permit those rich men whose
lives are corrupt and evil to domineer
in swollen pride. unchecked and un-
hindered. over the destinies of this
country"
Many condemn him for his YER
bosity, but it is necessary because the
effort is ethical. and as he says:
THE opponents of the measures We

another measure for special attack.
and speak as if the movement in
which we are engaged was purely
economic. 1t is not a movmeent to
be completed in one year or two or
three years; II is a movement which
must be persevered in until the spirit
which lies behind il sinks deep into
the heart and the conscience of the
whole people. It is always important
TO choose the right means to achieve
our purpose, but It is even more i'm
portant to keep this purpose clearly
before us; and this purpose is to Sc

injurious, and that business panic is
the necessary penalty for such effort
10 secure business honesty. The NOR
atty of such a plea is precisely as
great as If made on behalf of the men
caught in a gambling establishment
when that gambling establishment is
raided by the police.
"Much is said. in these attacks up
on the policy of the present admins
tration, about the rights of innocent
|stockh olders.' That stakeholder is
not innocent who voluntarily pur-
chases stock in a corporation whose
methods and management he knows
to be corrupt; and, stockholders are
bound to try to secure honest manage
ment, or else are stopped from com
planning about the proceedings the
government finds necessary In order
to compel the corporation to obey the
law.
IL do not for a moment believe that
the actions of this administration have
brought on business distress; so far as
this is due to local and not worldwide
causes, and to the actions of any par
ticular individuals, II Is due TO the
speculative folly and fragrant dishon-
esty of a few men of great wealth,
who seek to shield themselves from
the effects of their own wrongdoing
by ascribing its results TO the actions
of those who have sought to put a
stop to the wrongdoing. But If it
were true that to cut out rottenness
from the body polite meant a mo-
mentary check to an unhealthy SEEM
ing prosperity. | should not for one
moment hesitate to put the knife to
the corporation"
All this makes II patent that so
long as this administration exists, and
in so far as it can influence its suo
cessor. the fight on corruption VIII
