Wilson's Message
To Nations Voters

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Woodrow Will
son today delivered his Wilson rally DAY
message to the voters of the United
States
The Democratic candidate for president
predicted that victory at the polls next
Tuesday would usher IN a new day of
confidence, freedom and prosperity The
Republican party he said had become a
party of special points of view and the
Democratic party is the only united and
militant force to which the people can
turn with any prospect that they will be
served promptly, effectively and upon
clear principle Of action.
Governor Wilson's message follows:
The whole country is to be congratu-
lated that the wishes of the people about
the essential affairs of their life and
activity-wishes again and again express
ed at the polls-are, at last. to be real
lied through party embarrassed by no
alliances and free to serve in straight
forward fashion the interests of the ma
ton as a whole
Not 60 Disturb Business.
The business of the country is not to
be disturbed It's trammels on the con-
trary are to be removed and the unjust
and unequal privileges which have made
some thing about it are to be removed.
not by any drastic process, but by the
mere enforcement of Justice and fair deal
ing and the removal of private favors
Great bodies Of the people have come
almost to believe that these things were
impossible but the nation has arisen No
one can now doubt it's temper or it's pur-
pose. 1t will stand by the new admins
tration in good temper, but with clear
resolution, and the course Of it's affairs will
run strong with the force of the national
conscience. Only a nation aroused can
be nation fres. The nation now is
aroused to sober and conclusive action 1t
will be as patient as necessary, but it will
not again suffer itself to be baked of its
! purpose of justice"
| Governor Wilson, last night at Roeh-
ester, directed an attack on the United
States senate as citadel of private in
terest," declaring the people had not had
possession of that body for a generation.
| The speaker said confusion and inces-
SAINT contest would result for the next
four years with a postponement Of legis-
lation unless both houses of congress as
well as the presidency were Democratic
through and through" He also ex-
planned his views on the regulation of
competition at greater length and with
more detail than he had done before in
the campaign.
Holding that the two chief issues of
the campaign are the tariff and the trusts,
, he reiterated that without disturbing the
healthy trend of American business" ne
proposed to have special favors cut out
of the tariff" He announced that he in
tended to fight for the rest of his life to
destroy private monopoly
1N
could be prevented by making illegal un-
fair methods of competition. He out
lined among these the system OF under
selling in a local market, and the dis
elimination by monopolies which con-
troll raw materials against firms which
would not enter their combinations.
The governor said his program was to
make unlawful those methods of unfair
competition through which he said mo-
nopoly had thrived.
Some people, the governor remarked,
believed the offender in a corporation
could not be found but the nominee sug-
gested that "diligent search had never
been made
Taking up the question of regulating
competition, he continued:
Il have talked about the regulation of
competition, and men have asked me
what l meant l meant the stopping of
competition that is not fair. If a great
monopolistic combination sees TO 1t that
you can't get a start by underseling you
in your local market on such terms that
they are thus losing money there and can
do that only because they are making
money elsewhere that is a case of unfair
competition. You can make that kind
| of competition criminal. A thing that is
| criminal becomes inconvenient'
