Welt has favored regulation of the bust

as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
Of Ar. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive Of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in a lawful
manner and secure the benefits Of theil.

prosperity OF the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the

me THIRD CANDIDATE

TIE THIRD CANDIDATE
The Third Presidential Candidate
Spoke In Mitchell Before . Large
Crowd OF south Dakotans.
Eugene w Chain, of Illinois. the
Prohibition candidate for president,
addressed a crowd in front of the
corn palace that numbered about
1000 people. The speaker was lis
tened to with close interest. as his
speech departed to q great extent
from the ordinary political speech.
Although the address was brief it
was logical and emphasized we'll the
platform upon which the party
stands.
Mr.. Chain a introduced by
Mayor Hitchcock. In opening Mr..
Chain referred to Taft as the Fear
less Leader to Bryan as the "paer-
less Leader" and to himself as the
"Beerless Leader. The wit ard
sincerity of the candidate caught the
fancy Of the crowd and though they
might not all vote for him they at
least formed a friendly opinion of him
n his cause. The speaker at the
outset went back into history and
showed that the two great parties
We're founded in the beginning upon
great mora issues and had subse-
quently made them political issues.
He discussed the idea of popular
sovereignty and demonstrated the
popular majority was not necessarily
right. What is right is right and
what is wrong is wrong and is not
determined by the stamp of public
approval. He declared e%mphatically
that the issue was more important
than the candidate, although the lat
ter was the only one with a salary
attached. !;
Mr.. Chain spoke of the Lincoln
Douglas debates and declared that
the ground Lincoln stood on then
was the same as he stood upon now.
He discussed the attitude of the re-
publican party upon slavery and the
Democratic upon polygamy.
The speaker ELECTED loud APPLAUSE
when he said that the enforcement
Of law came through judges, juries
and ohlcers and not through prayer
meetings. From this he developed
the idea that prohibition was enough
of a political issue to Justify a politi-
cal party. If a party is to pass a
measure effecting the public welfare
It is necessary that a party be main
tanned to see that the law is carried
out and enforced. Mr.. Chain said
that he firmly believed that the pro-
Inhibition platform embraced the best
parts Of the two great parties and
that if everyone who believed in it's
principles would vote for them he
would be the next president. The
speaker was very felicitous upon the
question of his own candidacy and
won applause from republicans and
EAAA M.h
democrats alike.
In conclusion Chain said hat the
amouunt of crime would not decrease
with the election Of either Bryan or
Taft and urged the support of all
TO the prohibition ticket.
AT the conclusion of the speech
out doors MI. Chain spoke in the
c~ornhpalace for about Is minutes.
In company with Quincy Lee Nor
row, secretary Of the state commit
tee, Mr.. Chain left on the afternoon
train for Woonsocket, where he de-
livers an address on the arrival Of
the train and speaks again this
evening at Washington Springs We'd
nesday he spoke at Alexandria. and
drove to this city, reaching here at
the noon hour. ~

LEMONS AND THE TARIFF.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
As one example of the high Mckinley
tariff, we have now the California
lemons bringing $3.50 and Sc per box.
These came upon the markets in Sep
TENDER, and not having to pay any
duty (Which, on the foreign product
amounts to 80 cents per box), sold
cheap, causing the foreign importers
to lose 81 per box, thus driving their
lemons out of the market. Now deal
ers in the California product have
everything their own way and compel
to pay near double for their
supplies. This is the way this tariff
works all through the list, making the
cost of living dear. For this the Re-
publicans are clearly responsible. OF
course. protected manufacturers INT
their paid Senators will argue ingeni-
ously in favor of this robbery of the
people. Why should they not? They
are not losing money OIL protection.
