SO much In the nature Of review Of
Governor Wilson s speech Of accept
anoe furnishes answer to every ques-
ton Of where he stands on any issue.
he is for the public and against the
private interest. He is for justice
and right and against privilege. He
is for taking counsel Of the people in
the shaping of laws and pOlicies-"a
partnership in right action''-snd
against shaping laws and policies in
conference and cOmmittee-in dark
ness, silence and division.
He is against the very thing which
the great Dolliver Numbered against
in the closing and most useful days
Of his public career-the shaping Of
laws and policies by subcommittee
Of committees, after consulting pri-
vate and selfish interests only. In
deed, the spirit Of Governor Wilson's
address Is very Like that speech Of
the dead Iowa senator In which he
mitting private interests, speaking in
announced that he had done with per
the voice q a subcommittee, the lat
ter In turn speaking In the voice d
the party, and the latter in its turn
lspeaking In the voice of the nation,
to defile and Outrage justice.

the Senate Of the United States pro-
pose that these greet Interests, af-
fecting every man. woman and child
in the nation. shah be managed with
brutal tyranny, without debate and
without knowledge and without ex.
planation, by the very people that
are engaged in monopClizing the great
industries Of the world, that propose
to impose intolerable burdens upon
the market place Of our country?
