WILSON TOURING
 TO GET DELEGATES
Opens Campaign in Illinois-Strange That Lincoln Should Have Fathered
 Republican Party, He Says

Chicago February 12.-Expressing the opinion that the country's business has nothing to fear from the application of progressive policies in the administration of public affairs, Woodrow Wilson opened his campaign in Illinois for the democratic presidential nomination in an address be- fore the 1roquois club today at the Lin coin Birthday luncheon.
 q sometimes think it a peculiar cir constance that the present republican party should have sprung from Abraham Lincon," said Governor Wilson. T sup pose that Is one of the mysteries of prov idence. The richness of democracy is that it never has to predict who is to save 1t. We do not have to train men to interpret the United States. When an emergency arises there is always some genius who appears from the ranks of uncatalogued men to bear the standard and show the way to victory.
 As our economic affairs are now organ ized they cannot go on. The division is far more difficult to trace today than it was in Lincoln's time. No man is a friend of this country who is predicting dire re- suits. Every problem we have to meet can be solved without injury to business or any other sound interest.
 "The republican party is sadly broken. It has lost its way. It has been the busi- ness mans party in so many personally conducted campaigns that many believe nobody else knows anything about pros perity
 America is a business country and business must be taken care of. l be- lieve that the ills of which we suffer can be cured without harming sound business. l have no feeling of pety about any political doctrine except the one that gives equal rights to all.
 Business and politics must be sepa- rated. Give politics a change without domination of special privilege and great wealth. The biggest enemy business has is the man with programme which goes further than he can see.
 ''The standpatters have imprisoned business behind a great dam. There is no need of breaking down this dam and causing a commercial flood with it's con sequent damage. Engineers have ap- peared who have shown us how we may pierce the dam here and there and release the water without harming anybody"

of great policy which aims at eman- cipating mankind from servitude to war" and said i've have had states men who would have marched the American army against the Mexican capital" He paid tribute to the Pres dent's policy embodied in his treaties as diverting billions of dollars from military waste to civilization purposes.
 MT. Mccall vigorously defended the present tariff law, saying it securen adequate revenue. reduced the average ad valorem of duties on imports under any tariff law in any fiscal year since 1S43 except four abnormal years fol- lowing the civil war; and it made Amer ican merchandise exports rise above the s2,000, ,000 mark. He praised the tariff board and said that legislation based on it's work would mean the ulti- mate elimination of the tariff from pol itics.
 MT. Mccall said Lincoln was "a dis tinctively American product" and that his example was a vital force in the problem of today

ZAP TAIN 4. p. AGEE
 WOULD REVISE LAW

Anniston, February 12.--6special.)- Capt. A. P. Agee, president of the Anniston city council and candidate for the position of judge of the Seventh judicial circuit, to succeed Hugh D. Merrill in filling the uneXpired term of Judge John Pelham, now on the ap- pellate bench, favors certain revisions in court procedure for the purpose of eXpediting justice.
 In a paper issued here. Captain Agee says it is q mistake to blame juries for all laXity of law enforcement, and he believes that their Verdicts should stand in every case, unless there are grave reasons for reversal. Techncali- ties not affecting the justice of the ver- dict should not be cause for reversal The state and defense should have the same number of challenges, he thinks, and in his opinion the time for signing bills of exceptions should be shortened from six months to 30 to 60 days. He says that if the juries believed that their verdicts would stand, the mem- bers would be more careful as to their verdict

M'CALL PRAISES
 PRESIDENT TAFT Is Doing Things, Not Talk
 ing of Them THE TRUST PROBLEM He Says There Are Two Ways of Dealing With It-To Rail at Trusts in Violent Language
 or Employ the Law

Minneapolis, Mnn., February 12-"The sanity and sensible methods of the first republican President are shown by his successor today" declared Representa- tive Mccall of Massachusetts, .vat the Lin coin Day banquet of the Young Mems Republican club here tonight. "Instead of mounting a war horse and tilting to the sound of music against the trusts, the President is taking the only suitable and effective course"
 MT. Mccall, for many years a repub- llcan leader in the national House of Representatives, recently declared against presidential third terms, including ref erence to President Roosevelt's declara- ton that he would not be a candidate for reelection.
 '''rhe country today" said Mir. Mccall, has it's full share of men of narrow range of vision who have the perception to see a generally admitted evil and are utterly lacking in every quality necessary to bring about it's abolition. The evils of society have as much to hope from those who adopt reform and progress as mere political trade marks as from the most extreme advocates of existing con- ditions.
 There are two ways of dealing with trusts; one to rail at them In violent language and the other to employ the law. The former method has been tried most valorously and the trusts have en- joyed 1t; they have waved fat and kicked under the harsh language treatment.
 President Taft has adopted the less spectacular method He has chosen to pursue the law and to proceed in the courts and as a result the statute which for twenty years had appeared vague and doubtful has, by judicial construc- ton, been given a definite force against monopoly without the slightest injury to honest business enterprise.
 There can be no comparison in any balanced mind between the peaceful method of the law and the system under which men would rush to Washington and sue for absolution. The one method is the very thing for which our govern ment stands. The latter applies uni formly to all men to rich and poor alike i; the former stands for inequality, for ia voritism, and sooner or later will be the parent of the grossest corruption and subversive of our system of govern ment.
 Meantime, said Mir Mccall, the Presi- dent had been denounced by many.
 Ut is true" he added. that he is not political sleight of hand perform CT. He Is unable to delight the null titude by swallowing swords, he cannot stand upon stage and pretend to be one thing while he is really do- ing another. But in the sense that he is frank and open with the people and that they are fully in his confidence, he is an excellent politician"
