the states where he dabbles In politi-

This Is somewhat neat, and 1t may
go through. II 1t does, Taft Is more
likely to be renominated. In that
case Clark will get about the normal
Democratic vote and Taft the regu-

half OF the Independent vote, and be

Waists Democratic Allies

Woodrow Wilson, the progressive
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for president. speaking OF the
peril in money trust, recently said:
The plain fact is that the control
OF credit is dangerously concentrated
in this country. The money resources
OF the country are not at the COM
mand of those who do not submit to
the direction and domination of small
groups of capitalists. who wish to
keep the economic development OF
the country under their own eye and
guidance. The great monopoly In this
country is the money monopoly. So
long as that exists our old variety
and freedom and individual energ

of development are out of the Ques-
ton. The Industrial nation Is con-
trolled by itS(system of credit. Our
system of ckedit is concentrated. The
growth of the nation, therefore, and
all our activities are in the hands OF
few men who, even IL their action
be honest and intended for the pub
lie interest, are necessarily concen-
trated upon the great undertakings
In which their own money Is involv-
ed and who necessarily, by every rea-
son of their limitations, chill and
check and destroy genuine economic
freedom. This is the greatest Ques-
ton of all and to this statesmen must
address themselves with all earnest
determination to serve the long fu-
ture and the true liberties OF men"

in Germany. Between 1869 n 1908

to his friends that a long rest would do
him a lot Of good.

will be the most strenuous summer
he has had in years. Congress will
probably remain in session until Au-

for him to be in Washington a good
