mirers.
Governos Wilson win not take the
stump again unless Colonel Roose-
welt RECEIVERS sunicientiy to continue
his campaign.
While many persons have urged
the Democratic candidate to con-
tinue. he has declined to recede from
the attitude he took the day follow
ing the shooting Of Colonel Roose-
welt. He then said he would talk In
Delaware. Pennsyivania and West
Virginia.. and mako the speeches he
did tonight because he did not want
to disappoint his audiences.
The local managers In New jersey
were at the governor early today
asking him to talk State issues In
New Jersey to help the legislative
ticket. as United states senator IL
to be elected. II 10 considered like

far a. the presidency IL concerned,
and he can help out many candi-
dates Of the party in districts that
are close.
In his speech In Brooklyn Cover
nor Wilson said:
II have had business men say TO
me, All that We business men want
10 to be let alone. Politics ought not
to interfere with business and my
reply Invariably 10 this: Politics will

Tic spirited man who loves America
will be against the men who ara try

United States for that purpose.
A monopoly OF manufacture 10 not
to be compared with that root mono
poly OF all. namely. the monopoly OF
the influence which controls the gov
eminent
Two Persons Control.
Men in Washington were begin.
ming to realise more and more from
year to year that there was not q
wide enough field Of conflict and
that two persons controlled the coun-
cils OF the government of the United
States.
Then they discovered that the pur-
pose Of this control WAS to get speciai
favors from the government and that
that ancient policy that so man,
Americans have come almost 20 re
ere-Imean the policy of protec-
tion--was being distorted TO very
illegitmiate and outrageous uses. for
It was being employed not to slim
ulate industry all along the line, not
to support American industries all
along tho line, not to support Amer
lean industry where 1t needed sup
port, but to hide special favors and
to fAtten men who have the private
control OF the government itself.
by all means OF control and pri-
waite influence and tariff preference.

My indictment against the Amer

to venture out without the assistance

they are afraid to walk out beyond
the apron strings of the government
itself, when they can beat anybody
else In any market in the world.
You do not have to discover any

evangel--ali we have to do is to APP
ply the old principles OF Righteousness
and honestly ana fair dealing to the
circumstances OF the new age.
