campaign in our history, was
fought and won by the papers of
the country. 1t is the only cam

considerable majority of all the

HIGH COST OF LIVING

Tom Lawson has begun series
of articles in Everybody's Maya
zine under the heading of THE
A-B.C of High Cost of Living"
and will point out the remedy.
Mr.. Lawson starts out on the
ground taken by La Toilette which
he has urged in congress for years;
namely, the uselessness of the
enormous dividends which the
people pay on watered stocks that
is stocks that represent only fcti-
tious value.
The wealth of the nation is
placed at 100 billions of dollars.
Stocks and bonds have reached the
60 billions mark upon which is
paid an average dividend of FIVE
per cent annually. OF this 60 bill
lions, 40 billions is watered stock,
which means 1000 millions paid
every year by the workers who re-
ceive not a dollars benefit there
from.
This is graft pure and simple
and adds at least 500 a year ex-
penses to the average family.
Mr.. Lawson who knows the
tricks of the boards of trade, ex-
plains how these fictitious stocks
are made marketable by the manip-
ulations of these great gambling
concerns.
Aside from stocks and bonds, is
the individual and local indebted
ness which by good authorities is
estimated at 10 to 10 billions of
dollars.
The dividends and interest on
this Indebtedness all falls upon the
backs of the producing masses and
the so-called money power reaps
all the benefits,
There was time when prices
were governed by the law of de-
mand and supply, and that law
should always determine prices,
but instead, New York and London
boards of trade have overcome that
natural law.
The money power, realizing what
it would mean to have La Toilette
in the presidential chair after
Wisconsin and North Dakota had
spoken at the primaries opened
it's vaults and forced La Toilette to
the rear and Roosevelt to the front
be enormous contributions to the
latters campaign fund.
Woodrow Wilson is the only
candidate for the presidency who
has ever called attention to the
danger which the money power
threatens to this republic,

Gov. f. w. Plaisted Secretary of
State Davis and Mayor Pattangall
were the speakers at the Democratic
rally held, Saturday night. in the
armory. They all dwelt upon the ne
cessity of the Democrats carrying the
city of Waterville, Monday, which
must be indeed great when the chief
executive of the state, the attorney
general-mayor and the secretary Of
State are mixing in the fight
Governor Plaisted spent some time
in explaining what wonders the DEM
ocratic administration had accom-
plished in the administration of the
State finances. He stated that one
promise the party had lived up to was
the paying of debts. He went into de-
tails about sums owed by the Repub
lican administration, comparing it to
a man who has been left a million
dollars. and borrows on the strength
of it, 81 700 600. Under the Democratic
regime. this maladministration has
been dispensed with, and for one
thing, the State tax rate lowered from
six to four mills.

been saved for the Governor, in order
that he might spring it on the au-

made no impression on the colonel
He walked with long, rapid stride
which was almost too much for the
less hardy persons who tried to keep

to look at tree which attracted his
attention. With the temperature be-
low freezing and the wind bowling,
he paused while he explained few
points in natural history
When at length he had climbed the
steep side of Sycamore Hill, and reach

oyster Bay, n Y, March S.-Col.
RocseVelt's own views of the present
political situation and his reasons for
entering the campaign were explained
by him, today.
AS he trudged along the country
road from oyster Bay village 10 Sag
amore Hill, on his way home from
church, the former President talked
freely of his prospects, and briefly said
that his reason for entering into po-
litical campaign as an active candi-
date was that men who share his po-
litical beliefs convinced him that they
needed an effective leader. AS to the
prospects of victory. Col. Roosevelt
expressed the opinion that on a popu-
lar vote he would be the choice of his
party by big majority. How far this
result might be modified by the in
tsrposition of the machinery of politics,
he was unable to say.
Col. Roosevelt said that he supposed
a great many persons would not be-
lieVe il, but that he had not wished
to enter the fight.
so far as personal victory i
concerned l don't care he declared,
with snap of his fingers.
In 1904 he said, his position was
different He was DESTROYS of the
nomination because he wished the
peoples seal of approval. But in TAX
ing up the fight this year he was OPP
posing his personal inclination. Many
of his supporters had come to him, he
said, and had represented to him that
they needed a leader and that there
was a widespread demand that he as
sumo the responsibility. 1t was in
response to these representations, the
colonel added, that he at length de-
termined to accept the leadership.
Mr.. Roosevelt's assertion that he
believed a large majority of the Re-
publican voters favor him was made
when he was informed of the result
of a test canvass of voters in differ
ent sections of the country. showing
am alleged ratio of two to one for
Roosevelt The colonel said he
thought that about represented the
situation.
In all but four or five states, includ-
ing Delaware and Utah, Col. Roose-
welt said he believed he would receive
majority IN a popular vote. He add
ed that he felt confident he would
have ma jority of the Pennsylvania
delegation to the National convention,
He was told that the test vote in New
England had given him an alleged
slight lead over President Taft, and
he remarked that he was not at all
surprised at that.
