man they do not personally know un-
less they believe that he stands for
something in particular, and one of
the most delightful and inspiring
things about the American people Is
that they believe in causes; they be-
lieve in principles and they believe in
ideas, and they flock after a man who
they hope and believe represents those
things. These are not demonstrations
of honor to an individual; they are
manifestations of very stirring inn

city and State with regard to the po-
lltical affairs that lie Immediately

SORROW, NOT ANGER, FOR
THOSE WITHOUT THE LIGHT

II know a great many men who do
things that are wrong who, l am per-
fectly convinced. do not see the wrong;
therefore, l am not going to be hypo-
critical enough to criticize them per-
sonally, but the law ought to take the
scales from their eyes; the law ought
to say who are going to do these things
for which they are to be held re-
sponsible.
Now, all those difficult questions can
not be handled in any kind of detail
before a vast audience like this; there
fore, l can only speak generally of the
general idea that underlies 1t all.
I'VE are tired of seeing legislation
in favor of special interests and want
legislation for the general interests,
When | say that we are tired, | mean
that the American people are tired. and
they are going to show it in the next
decade in way that will make some
gentlemen's heads swim.
II was told today that l had dis
appointed one of my audiences because
/ had not given fits to the Republican
party. Now, the Republican party as
whole consists of a very large body
of our fellow citizens, and l do not
know how to give fits to very large
body of our fellow citizens. But am
perfectly willing TO tell those very fel-
low citizens how they are being lee
and who they have been led by, and
the best proof of that is that very
large section of their own party Is
telling them so.
"A friend of mine was walking down
the street in Wilkesbarre, Pa, one DAY
with two friends of his, who were law
yers, in very earnest conversation, anc
he asked one of them, What are you
talking about? He replied, We are dis

WOULD INVEST UTILITY
BOARD WITH FULL POWERS

I'VE set up a commission to govern
TO govern what? Why. to govern the
great aggregations of capital that We
call the corporations. am entirely in
favor of that; / think 1t is absolutely
necessary.
II think that such commission
ought to be set up and given the full
est power possible.
I think our present commission IL
entirely harmless; I have no objection
to the members of that commission
amusing themselves by drawing their
salaries But the real objection Is. as
the Scotehman said, 1T doesn't set us
any forwarder;' we don't get anything
from 1t except a lot of very interesting
opinions. In fact, / am receiving a sal
airy, for that matter; | am just as pro-
life as the commission. My own opin-
ion and personal objection is that
cannot get people to pay for them.
This commission | speak of ought To
have power to put their notions into
force because their notions concern us.
We know how to regulate, but the fact
Is that New Jersey is tagging away
behind the procession. There is moth
ing difficult nothing complicated OF
nothing impossible about 1t, but that
is a corporate question. Sooner or
later the question of taxation must be
settled ! believe 1t Is the fact that
in this State corporations are not
equally taxed. Now. that Is very
complicated question. | believe that Is
true, but 1t will take a long time to
find out about 1t. and when we do find
out about 1t we will make the thinG

JAIL THE CURE FOR ERRING
CORPORATION OFFICIALS

Look what corporation is! 1t af-
fords you an opportunity to put your
money into thing that you could not
do by yourself. Here is some big un-
dertaking which you have not the
money to carry on individually, but
here are it's stocks and bonds for sale,
and by putting your money into them
you can share In the profits of the
big business which they do, which you
could not do individually with the
money that you put into those stocks
and bonds; and so hundreds of thou
sands of men put their money to-
gether until In the aggregate 1t makes
vast sum, and thus We find sm&ii
groups of men conducting the corpora
tions with this money.
1.-The man who misuses q corporation
is the man who misuses you and your
investment; II is not fair when he mis-
uses your money to punish you and
not to punish him.
II told. you moment ago that | was
bred as lawyer, and yet | must smile
at the apparent innocence of some
lawyers. l have seen small trials
dragged out for week to determine
whether a man was guilty or not when
he was not guilty, when every man in
the case knew he was not guilty and
knew he was not under indictment,
knew that he was outside of the corpo-
ration altogether; that because he con-
trolled group of corporations or was
of great influential power he could
use these corporations just as you use
a pawn in a game of chess. They knew
what his name was, but they went
around with dark spectacles and said
they did not see anybody. Well that
is not the fault of the lawyers; it is
the fault of the law; the law wears the
dark spectacles.
Now tie point is we must change
the law in order that we may do the
remarkable thing of finding the man
who really is guilty. Don't let's go
around then barking up the wrong
tree; don't let's go put up the bars
after the animal has left long ago. let's
get down TO business in the regulation
of our corporations and find out what
we do want and then do 1t. and then
when we find somebody that has done
that thing that he ought not to do.
even though he was authorized to do It
by the corporation, put him into jail
"Our jails are used to great ad-
vantage, but the philanthropy might
be extended; the moralizing effect Of
the Jail ought not to be withheld from
certain classes of the community.
81 am not saying all this in any
spirit of yindietiveness. for l honestly
believe that most of these men have
simply been using a great system with
out thinking they were crushing and
doing an injustice to their fellow men.

WOODROW WILSON'S SPEECH DELIVERED AT
THE KRUGER AUDITORIUM LAST NIGHT

with that / think those great touring
cars, for example, which are labeled
Seeing New York are too big for the
streets. You have to walk almost
around the block to get out of the way
of them, and size has a great deal to
do with the trouble If you are trying
to get out of the way. But | have no
objection on that account to the ordi-
nary automobile properly handled by
man of conscience who is also a gem
tleman. Many of the people l see
handling automobiles handle them as
kf they had neither conscience nor
manners. | have no objection to the
size and beauty and power of the auto
mobile. | am interested, however, In
the size and conscience of the men who
handle them, and what | object to Is
that some of these corporation men are
taking joy rides in their corporations.
You know what men do when they
have a joy ride; they sometimes have
the time of their lives and sometimes,
fortunately the last time of their lives.
Now these wretched things are taking
JOY rides in which they don't kill the
people that are riding in them. but
they kill the people they run over, so
that the tariff has to do with corpora
tions. Corporations have to do also
with all those things | have discussed
in the platform OF our party.
THE Public Service Commission is
set up because we find corporations
that are called railways or street rail-
ways or gas companies or water com
panies are getting so big that we don't
know how to control them, and know
that they ought to be controlled in
some way and their service regulated
to the convenience Of the public right.

tlemen, a confession of faith, and !
am ready to make 1t.
II hope that you have all read the
very sound and explicit platform put
forth by the Democratic convention
that did me the honor to nominate me,
and | say to you now, as said to
them, that | stand absolutely without
any equivoeation for every plank in
that platform.
II also stand for some more planks
that are not in the platform because
1t Is impossible for body of men 10
exhaust In any statement of principles
the subjects which really lie at the
very bottom of all political thought
and welfare in every American COM
munity. There is one plank ! would
have liked to have seen In that plat
form. | do not pretend TO criticize any
body who had any part In the making
of that platform because 1t is not there,
But my own thought would be this:
II am very proud OF being a citizen of
the State of New Jersey and l am very
proud of New Jersey, and / wish there
were nothing to be sorry for In conneo-
tion with her very recent political prac-
tise. And yet there Is something to be
sorry for New Jersey has earned a
certain reputation throughout this
country because of her too great and
hospitable care of any or all CORPORA
tions, good or bad and | wish with all
my heart that the citizens of this State
might interest their Legislature to the
extent of putting the law of ineorpora-
tion upon another footing, 80 that the
men who come to New Jersey seeking
the privilege to do business In the way
of corporations will be Obliged to GO

embarrassed; we are not split up into
warning factions in the Democratic
party; we are all standing together.
whereas they are reading each other
out Of the different sections of their
party. And that is a very demoralizing
process. Each part of 1t is trying to
lead the other part of it out of busi-
ness. Therefore it Is bankrupt as
party; they must have somebody to
take 1t over. and now we intend to
act as receiver. We don't have to ask
for any order of the court; We will
leave it to the jury.

WHAT is BEST FOR ALL is
GREATEST SINGLE PROBLEM

Nobody who cannot speak of the
common thought, who cannot move
the common impulse, Is any man to
speak for America or for any of her
future purposes. So, We seek to con-
form all the policies of this country
to this great body of American eiti-
zens, the men who go about their busi-
ness every day. the men who toll from
morning to night. the men who go
home tired in the evenings--too tired
to think about things sometimes, the
men who are carrying on that thing
that we are so proud of.
you know how II thrills our blood
sometimes to see how all the nations
of the earth wait to see what America
liz going to do with her power--her
physical power-her enormous re-
sources, her enormous wealth, her
power to levy innumerable armies and
build up ornaments which might con-
quer the world. And the nations hold
their breath to see what this still
young country will do with her young
unspoiled strength; and We are proud
that we are strong.
But what has made us strong? The
toll of millions of men. the toll of men
who do not boast. who are incon-
spicuous, but who live their lives
humbly from day TO day. and this
great body of workers, this great body
OF toilers, constitute the might of
America,
"What is the manifest duty of all
craftsmanship, therefore? 1t Is to see
that this great body of men who con-
stitute the strength of America are
properly dealt with by the laws and
properly nurtured and taken care of by
the policy of the country.
Well, what hinders? What stands
in the way? Why. you know thai
everything really worth discussing
comes to the question of the corpora
tions. Now, do not want you to ex-
pect from me any invective against
the corporations. ! was bred lawyer

BINDS DEMOCRATIC PARTY
TO PLATFORM PROMISES

Il believe that the great bodies of
the people have the right of direct
nomination for office.
II believe that the people of this
State are entitled to a public service
commission which has full power To
regulate rates.
II believe 1t would be wise to do
what New Jersey has already once
done, pass an act in favor OF a consti-
tutional amendment allowing the peo-
pie TO vote directly for their Senators.
II believe In each and every plank
Of the Democratic platform. but | am
not going 10 40 over that platform
plank by plank and discuss 1t to a
great audience like this whose heart is
moved by great issues. 1t is not ne
cessary that ! should go into this
discussion or into the details of legis-
lation by which We are to carry each
plank out. Suffice It to say that it Is
our bounden obligation, myself in
cluded, if we are put into office. to
carry out candidly and to the full eS-
tent every principle and every project
laid down in that platform. You could

Let us do so, therefore, and find oui

Now, I take leave to believe thai
there is one singular question thai
underlies all the other questions thai
are discussed on the political platform
at the present moment. That singular
circumstance is that nothing Is done

years ago
