tralization is both undesirable and
gerous.
Reposing confidence In the in,.,u
and learning of the judges of onr
courts, and believing that Judges III
ed by the people are imbued wit1l
high a sense OF honor as those
pointed by the President, and fnr,
believing that the laws of a soye.s
state are not TO be lightly SET ss
favor the enactment of a sal
which will prevent the aunulmant
federal courts of a state law unti
tribunals OF the state have been
mitted to pass upon its CONSTITUTED
ity.
II a foreign corporation yolunt.l
enters a state for the purpose of n
tinuously doing business therein
should be compelled to submit IN
laws and courts OF the state.
To my mind, ali public o#cl
should be responsible to the neal
alone. | therefore favor the eIectl
of United States Senators by a dlrl
vote.
The Mississippi and Missouri RivI
should be made navigable. and Nh
rich bottom lands protected. But
maintain that we should not wait
relief against freight exactiops un
this work can be accomplished. NJ
government should establish fair 4
Just railway rates without waiting h
the relief which water competltll
may compel The criminal sections
the antitrust statutes should be 4
forced against all who violate Incl
regardless Of their wealth or statid
The provisions OF the Law should
enlarged SO as to prescribe forfeltuI
sufficiently heavy to punish the u1l
corporation, and deter Others fru
committing like offenses. The Dovd
and duty of courts to appoint rece
ers and take possession Of every Grid
inal trust should be made plain.
The Democratic party holds that M
law which penalties the poor and veal
is powerful enough to reach the gea
and strong. For my part, / an cd
posed to Furnishing petit larceny aI
overlooking grand larceny. The mut
millionaire who c%onceiyes a guI
fraud to gain millions is worse dad
the little rogue who nlches a trlae.
The wastefulness and extravaganza
OF the Republican party Is known Il
all men. The final certificate Of M
reckless squanderings is furnished n
Senator Aldrich, who recently declared
that three hundred millions Of doIlarI
OF public revenues are annually wasted
An administration which sQuanden \
million OF the peoples money even
working day Of the year ought to NJ
driven from office.
Graft In every form should be elm
mated.
The beneficiaries of Legislation and
their agents should be driven from thsI
halls Of congress and the departments
OF state. to the end that this mq
once more become a government d
the people.
The signs of the times are prpb
tious. The sun Of Democracy Is rising
in triumph. Every element Of our
party in Missouri is united.
Harmony" is the watchword Of the
hour. Let us act, as well as talk bar
mony. A great victory awaits US IN The
state and nation. The common people
are about to assume control, For my
part, whether ! win or lose, my voice
will still be for the Democracy.
I am not an occasional Democrat
| have never attacked the DemOcrsy
from the front, nor ambushed It from
the rear. | have never failed to vote
in every election since | attained ny
majority. My hand has never scratch
ed the name OF a Democrat from
ballot.
| have not only voted for ever
Democratic candidate for GoYern0t
but I have likewise voted for even
Democratic candidate from Presided
to constable.
| have never given aid OF comfort .
the enemy. ] have not claimed 10
wiser than the combined wisdom o
my party as expressed in its platforms
regularly adopted.
Perhaps no man OF indepenaell
thought has ever found a ponleS
platform which exactly expressed u
his personal ideas. But most men ~
ognize the truth that individual ps
erence must be subordinated 10 "
common cause, and that II no il
would support a platform unless u ss
braced his exact ideas, there VOnla Y
as many parties as there are asn
and organization would be impossl's
Recognizing the truth that theis
an lrreconcilable conflict between ~
publican and Democratic prlnglps
but that the democracy has avg
constituted the army OF humanity,
ting against the a~ggresslons o. p".
lege. | have given unswaVefins ="
glance to its cause and candioalfs
] have no quarrel with those
abandoned us In 1896, These men ~
the right to go over to the RepuDlNs
Party, II they regarded It's policies
dearer than Democratic essenu.~
Nor do / close the door OF our pas
to those who seek now to return ,n
er | welcome them with open % ~,
But Of them, and of all mel WIN % ~,
their country, the question ma! ' NJ
well be asked. If. in the light Of s,S ,s
transpired, the triumph OF deInp'',r y :
In 1896 would not have been Ian
tory for humanity-if in the cal.n '~ r,a
light, they cannot see that 'esi
network OF trusts which nov sI p,v,r
the land would not be here, hau XXI
