Of town before that town can be really and per-
manently prosperous. The money you spend
with your home merchants and manufacturers the
better off your town will be, as there will be more

st. Louis. March 2s,--Coloncl Roosc-
welt stated his case today to the peo-
pic OF Missouri. He made five
speeches IN this city and another In
East ST. Louis. Streets were drcnched
by raiu, but Colonel Roosevelt found II
crowd ut the station when lie arrived
and large audiences wherever he spoke.
The colonel was busy from the time
he stepped from his train before noon
until on toward midnight, when II was
time for him to start for ST. Paul. In
addition to making six speeches, he
attended banquet, luncheon, dinner.

Colonel Rooscvclts main speech was
delivered tonight In the First regiment

In the same vein as IN his speech In
New York last week upon the same
topic.
In his address at the luncheon given
by the City club. Colonel Roosevelt
discussed the recall OF judicial de-
cisions. Six judges, four of them on
the federal bench. were seated at the
table with him.

me that I was right on that proposal.

II into a campaign. I'd q million times

ties, than win II without getting jus.

The second speech was made ut the
Merchants exchange. where Colonel
Roosevelt discussed his proposal for
the creation of an interstate business
commission to deal with large corpor-
ations. Thence he went to the Coli
scum, looked In ON the household show
and spoke for two minutes.
No Third Party.
A report which appeared from sew

might bolt the Chicago convention In
case no should not be nominated

Rule OF Privilege.
In actual life here IN the United
States experience has shown that the
effort to substitute for the genuine rule
OF the people something else always
means the rule of privilege III some

privilege, sometimes financial privilege,
often a mixture Of both Whenever
there IL tyranny by the majority | shall

which we have been suffering In. this
country have. 10 times out OF 100, been
tyrannics Of minority. that Is tyranny
By privilege Sometimes. AS In the
case of some public utility franchise
OF some other 'tbit Of grabbing by a
few, of what belongs to the many, the
tyranny Is primarily commercial; at
other times II Is primarily political.
This. for instance. Is true just al pres
ent In those states where the people
have been denied the right to vote at
primaries In order TO express their
preference for president.
by the way. a ludicrous feature of
the Michigan situation has been that
the men who denied the right Of the
people to vote at the primaries did II
