followed. when tho governor came
out of tho voting booth he mounted
the steps OF the church and talked

The boss merely as political or
ganiEer.' the governor said. IS not

essary instrument Of politics. but tho
man We call boss In the agent OF those
VINO wish 10 control politics IN tneir
own interest.
II have known some OF these men
personally and I know how they work.
They haven't any politics al all. There
/ Is no difference between Democrat

Mother OF them Ia working Tor his
party They are both working for
thoir olisnts And their clients wish
/ 20 see that men do not get into ONCE
; who thwart them aud that laws are
not passed that emDarasa their bust
ness
The chief supporters % tho Demo-
cratic boss, " he happens 20 be In the
majority. are often those most closely
associated with tho Republican boss
and vice versa. The men who chiefly
want Jim smith Ia tho senate are Re-
. publicans. not Democrats. ana when
I have fought him. his chief support
ers have come from Republican news
papers not independent newspapers
that speak public opinion. ! refer 10
papers In Camden, controlled by Mr..
David baird In New Jersey. I always
mention names Baird ~ tho Repub-
lican boss OF Camden and no owns two
newspapers that constitute tho chief
support OF smith,
'Do you understand there is no poll

congress or state legislation In regard
10 their business enterprises"
The governor spoke ~ the proposal
OF the third party 10 regulate trusts
by means Of an Industrial commission
and continued
"t don't want 20 regulate trusts.
want To pat them ON their mettie. !
want 90 see that they can't put any
body out OF business except by doing
business better than anybody olse.
don't want TO Hqueego tho water out
uf their stocks. ! want 20 put mo
water In tank on their backs and see
n they can carry that water as against
the men who are doing business WITH
out any water 20 carry. Then either
they will break under the strain or get
rid OF the water themselves because
they can't carry water and do busl-
ness against competition"
