sex county. Today the candidate is

tend a reception to be given by Mercer
county Democrats at Trenton. The
strenuous life" seems TO agree with
Mr.. Wilson.
Two Monmouth county gatherings
were addressed by the Democratic can
didate Saturday. Fifteen hundred peo-
pie heard him in the afternoon in the
Asbury Park Hippodrome, and the
Freehold Opera House contained its
capacity of 1000 in the evening.
Control" Is Keynote.
At Freehold he said that all the
issues of the day WEI symbolizea
under the word control"
I'VE are not jealous of great busi-
ness" he said, but we want to control
1t. Why do you wish to control cor
porations? Because they are control
ing you. Why DO o wish to control
political machines? Because you sus-
pect they are managing YOU"
He asserted the people of the State
and nation were not Jealous of large in
terests in the business world, but they
were jealous of the control these inter
ests had secured through unlawful
means over the lives and conditions of
the masses of the populace.
In a similar manner the people were
not jealous of parties. for there must al
ways be parties. but they were very
jealous of the control which party ma
chimes had secured over the life of the
people and the control they a OBJ
tanned through unlawful alliances with
big businesses over the products of life
which the people must secure unde the
conditions that the party machines and
the leaders of the "big" interests
named.
Great applause greeted his assertion
that the reason the political machine Of
the party in power in New Jersey and
other States had fought so bitterly any
legislation looking to the direct primary
and the corrupt practises act was be-
cause they knew those laws would give
the voters a chance against the ma
chimes and weaken their power, and this
they were determined to avert at any
cost.
In his discussion of the question Of
corporations he stated that the original
idea of such combinations was to organ
ize and control business in AUST and
proper manner, but that corporations
become illegitimate when they seek.
through power and Illicit influences, to
control the markets of the nation.
The farmers of Monmouth, who are
large shippers, and who for self-protec-
ton maintain their own exchange,
loudly applauded his scathing indict-
ment of the unfair discrimination which
is allowed the railroads. who grant one
rate to large shippers and another and
more excessive one to small shippers.
This is an indication of the influence
that the powerful corporations have Sc
cured through legislation they have Sc
cured through powerful Hobbies.
Legislatures Are "PilOted."
One of the happiest and most illumi-
mating expressions of the entire cam
paign was his statement that "our
legislatures submit to the pilotage of
outside pilots during their sessions,
and, therefore, too often do not produce
results in the matter of legislation
which they should" Laughter greeted
his assertion hat there was reason to
believe that the Legislature in New
Jersey knew something of these out
side pilots" If their legislation was to
be taken as an indication of their in
terest in the welfare of the people, as
so many bills of the most vital i'm
portance had been smothered in COM
mittee at the behest Of the Outside
pilots"
One of the clearest expositions that
has fallen from his lips during the
nights of his campaign (and there have
been many clear elucidations) came
when he gave the history of the part
nership that has been built up between
political parties n business interests
in this country. 1t was a mastery re-
sumo, and that it was grasped by his
listeners was very evident. A a re-
suit of this combination prices and
markets are controlled by the large
corporations, which are cheerfully
aided by the political organization of
the Republican party"
Mr.. Wilson wished to know when
and how this unholy combination
would be h%roken?" The accomplish
ment of this was the new question o.
independence that presented itself to
the peopIe of New Jersey at the COM
ing election. and it was for them to
decide how much longer they wished
this con lition of affairs to continue.
He proceeded to give a magnificent
description of the history of independ-
ence. declaring the handsomest word
