The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1910-10-30

Following Is the speech of Clifford
Pinchot before the Detroit Chamber
of Commerce, Friday evening:
Since cary in June | have teen
travelling almost continuously, ard
have had fair chance TO core In
contact with and estimate pubic sen
timent in all the great div's ons of
our country. Using the information
thus secured from contact with men
Of many occupations and varie'i's or
political relief in many local ties. l
have tried TO write down an es,imare
OF the composite opinion of the voters
Of all parties in the east, the sonth'
the Mississippi Valley, and the Paci'-
ic Coast on certain public questions.
What I have written makes no pre-
tense to be complete. And the task
Is not without difficulty. Opinions
ferce,y held in some parts OF ire
country. in others have mo- yet ri7en
70 the surface as public issues. the
underlying fact, as I found 1t every
where. was deep-seated powerful IN
dignation over the inequality Of oppor-
tunity everywhere known to exist
and the firm determination TO put an
end to II somehow, and that soon.
# we could hear the voice OF al
the peop,e uTon some current ISSUES
II would, think, declare Itself In SUD
stance as follows
believe the people should directly
nominate, EJECT, control, and recali
their own legislative representatV's s.
I believe in publicity of campai II
contributions and expenses both oe'
fore and after election, and In strictly
limiting by law the amount that may
be spent and the manner of spending
1t.
believe that It should be unlawful
for any lawmaker or other public ser
want TO be employed by or TO receive
compensation from any inters'a'e o.
nublic service corporation, or for any
public servant appointed and not elect
ed 10 office TO be an officer In any
political party or organization, or "a
attend any political convention.

| believe the people must protect
themselves against the special inter-
ests in state and nation alike; that
hey can best protect themselves by
the power of the nation against cor
porations operating across state lines;
and that the great special interests
must not be permitted to take te7tge
from all control by spec ously raising
the issue of states rights.
| believe that our laws and inst tu-
lions should lie planned, mace aau
changed solely as the necessities, az
vantages, and difficulties of the pope
require. ard not for the benefit of the
special interests.
believe that presidents, cabinet
lawmakers, officials, and judges are
all servants of the people; that III y
hold office for the benefit Of no spe-
cial class or political party, but sole
" for the benefit OF the people; and
that they may justly be held RESPONSE
BILE by the people for what they do.
| believe that our local, state, and
national governments can and should
he run as honestly and efficiently as
any well managed private business;
that they should be free from partisan
political interferences; and that more
should be done by the people aci7 &
through the government for their own
protection. instruction, and assistance
rather than less.
I believe thai the people OF tha
United States have the right. and can
be trusted, to decide and direct how
their own property and their own af-
fairs shall be handled.
I believe that the people have rights
in all natural resources even when
privately owned: and that these re-
sources must be managed and used
not for private advantage alone, but
likewise so as to promote and not 10
endanger the common good. Those
which sti!l remain in the hands OF
the people should be kept there and
should be developed and administer
| for the benefit of us all
believe that no man has a righ'
10 waste or freely monopolize any nee
I essary of life, like coal. oil. timber, Of
water power; and that the peopl'
have the right and the duty to prevent
the wasteful or destructive use OF any
natural resource.
believe that this generation o.
Americans are the heirs of the past
and the trustees of the future, and

that they are in honor and in duty
bound to leave this country to Their
children better than they found 1t.
| believe that this should be gov
ernment by men for human welfare
and not a government by money TO
profit: and that it is better to help a
poor man make a living than to help
a rich man make more money.
The foregoing statement is not my
own confession of belief. 1t does no
cover all the ground OF my poitica.
creed. For example, | believe in the
principle of the initiative and relerer-
dunn, but in my judgment the people
of the United Sta.es have not yet
reached a conclusion upon that po mt.
So with the short ballot; the commits
sion form of government for cities,
and many other questions. ! have
not attempted to state my own p at
form, but rather the position VIII ch

ers throughout the country hold to-
day.

P|NCH0T'S ESTIMATE Of SENTIMENT
Of VOTERS ON PUBLIC QUESTIONS

| believe it should be unlawful for
any lobbyist or o,her representative
of any interest to advocate or oppose
any measure to any legislator or legis-
lative committee without frs. pub t.
ly registering his name, the nature OF
his compensa ion, and the name OF
his employer.
Lelieve that the most pressing pa
triotic duty of today is to revive pop
ullr government by driving the sp
cal interests out of politics, and that
complete publicity of all the affairs OF
every inters ate and public service
corporation Is necessary to that end.
| believe that corporate have &C =
tain rights that should be respected,
but they have no political rights, pow
ers. or duties, and they should have
no representatives in congress, in the
cabinet, or on the bench.
| believe that the special interests,
through their control of politics and
business, and principally by means OF
the tariff, are responsible for the eX-
orbitant cost Of living
| believe that the Payne-Aldrlch
tariff was made by the servants OF
special privilege for the benefit ana
according to the orders of their mas
ters. and that when congress and the
president enacted and approved II,
over the just protest of the pro5res-
sives, they broke faith with the poo
pie.
believe that the credit for good
laws recently passed In congress be-
longs to the progressives of both par
ties. who amended had bills In the
pub,ic interest, rather than TO the adj
m,nistration. which drafted and advo
Gated the bad bills.
believe that the Old party ties
are slipping off; that the progresslvel
in both parties are the true represen
tatives of their parties and Of the peo
pie: and that the public welfare has
become a stronger motive with ths
people than partisan success.
| believe that the people have los'
confidence In congress, because con
gress as a whole no longer represen"
the people who elect It, but the spec
ial interests who control it.
I believe that Cannon and Aldrici
and all they represent, are passing
rapidly away, and that better um'
is coming, when the PEOPLE will COZ

The opening was steady at an ad-

There was a good deal of realizing

But spot houses were big buyers of
