DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TALKS INDUS
 TRIAL ADULTERYn
ATTACKS THE BIG SYSTEMS
Says All Protected Manufacturers Are Pillars of Society-Rectes Parody on Old and We'll Known
 Gospel Hymn.

Augusta, Me, Aug. Ex-Governor Marshall of Indiana, democratic nom inee for the vice presidency, discuss cd the trust question in plain words here tonight. delivering the second of his three campaign speeches in Maine. Tomorrow night he will speak at Lew iston. As remedy for corporations guilty of industrial adultery" he ad- vocated summary revocation of their state-given charters by the states which gave them
 He discaimed any desire or intent to become personal in his speeches.
 All my public utterances are in tended to he without venom, he said Continuing, in part:
 ''l want to attack systems and not men. Profanity is wrong, yet many good men swear Because they are good they ought not 10 expect me to stand for their profanity. A good man is as likely to go to sleep at a place of danger as a bad one. Because he is good. shall I not awaken him. al- though | must jolt him to do 1t?
 T know no protected manufacturer who is not a pillar of society But, can this man who insists that he must have protection tell me how he differs from the man who goes to the over seer of the poor and tells him he must have help to live. Perhaps he has never thought of it in that light And when he gets over his anger, his pride will assert itself and ne will say, I can and will get along with out help. He ought not to get mad at me. Some men would say he is not beggar, but strong armed man That would be worse.
 If a man honestly believes in this theory of taxation and his judgment and conscience approve it it is easy for him to take the next step toward a monopoly. The democratic platform says a private monopoly is indefensi- ble. The regular republicans are go- ing according to the legislation of the supreme court to dissolve trusts. When we see the effect of these dis solutions on their stocks and bonds, sense of gratitude suggests that on the first moonlight night of the Octo- Der term the trust quartette serenade the court with:
 "Hallelujah! Thine the Glory Hal
 lelujahl Amen,
 Hallelujah Thine the glory. Dissolve
 us again.
 The progressives say let not the people be dismayed We have the man who can make the trusts come up and eat out of his hand, And they surely have. If his record is any in dex of results. We may be assured that the provender will be not only good but nutritious. He will suspend the operation of the criminal laws at any time rather than endanger the liberty of campaign contributor who wants to make money unlawfully.
 He did this for the harvester and steel trusts. When he began his ca reer as a trust buster, there were only 149 trusts with four billions of capt tai. At the end of his career there were more than ten thousand with more than 31 billions of capital
 How reach the question? Forfeit the charter of every corporation which carries another or by gentle mans agreement lives in notorious and open adultery with another Can this be done? Why not? A corpora. tion Is only a creature of the state organized to do definite things. II is only artificial with conferred pow CTS. With limited liability a corpora. tion's powers are also limited to those expressly conferred by it's charter. The states can revoke these charters. A few revocations and few shaved heads will take the swelling out ol some fortunes and warn others not to swell.
 There is another solution Make iIhe lawyer who counsels aid, abets or advises the formation of trust crim inally liable. He should be held re sponsible. He would not buy jimmy for a prospective burglar Yet, he knows, if he will but stop to think that many a contract which he draws is more burglarious than jimmy. Il he will not quit, make him particep' criminis.'
