ASSURES PARTY OF VICTORY

CHICAGO, June 22-Michael b. OIL
brich of Madison. Wis, in his address
nominating Senator La Follettee before
the republican convention said:
THE republican party is face to face
with the gravest crisis in its history.
There is more at stake in this convention
than the rise or fall of individual am
bition. We are confronted with no mere
matter of temporary party success or de-
feat-no question of winning or losing a
single election The life of the party is
in the balance.
Raised up by God to work the freedom
of the black man in America, a nation
asks today shall that God-given instru-
another bondage that threatens all men,
black and white. African slavery was
open, obvious, brutally crude, shocking
to the moral sense; now we are threat
ened with an industrial despotism, in
sidious, Intangible, but infinitely menac-
ing. beside which the banished slavery
was small and sectional in scope.

America like some noisome parasitic
tropic growth the Tightening coil of priv

stranglng industrial and commercial
freedom; shutting out the light of hope
from the sons of men; poisoning the very
air Of liberty. From small beginnings it
has grown and grown until it is so in
terlaced with lawful enterprises that the
clearest eye alone can detect the bastard
groWth-sO interviewer into the delicate
structure of our business life that it can
not be jerked out by one momentary

Tentacles of Sitting Power.

Tariff favoritism, control of natural re-
sources monopoly in transportation, manu-
featuring, money and credit, are all but
tentacles of it's sitting power. This mon
strous growth will succumb to the tilt
ing Of no quiXotic lance The lightning
OF invective will not wither it nor the
thunder of denunciation lay it low
No brandishing of battle axes in
Chinese warfare will hasten its decay
NO mere attack on symptoms work a
cure. The shipping of tendril here
and tendril there will not retard it's
growth. 1t can be reached alone by
the keen blade of well-directed law
republic would endure except in name
alone, not only must it's further growth
be stopped. but the awful thing itself
be eradicated and destroyed.
For. not content with its control
of industry, hand in hand, as a neces-
sary part of its development, it has
gone, a like intrusion, into our politi
cal and governmental life. Its repre-
sentatives sit upon the bench and in
our legislative halls. They are in
possession Of seats on this convention
floor. Congresses and cabinets and
courts have hardened to it's command.
1t has corrupted governments, defied
constitutions. and. in collision with
faithless representatives of the people,
has sought to impair the legal founda-
ton of civilization itself
The challenge which monopoly thus
intrenched throws down and the ac-
ceptance of the gage of battle by the
American people make up the issue of
the coming campaign. Shall the men and
women of this nation i'm the aggregate ac-
tually and effectively control their gov
eminent? Shall they who bear the
coarse drudgery of the world as well as
the eminent few who sit in its high
places, have proportionate voice in de-
termining their condition of life and the
destiny of this nation? This is no strange,
wild doctrine that has caught the mo-
mentary gust of rabies favor. 1t is

They who scoffed have come to listen
when he speaks. He is no mere tingler
of euphonious words, no conjurer of fan
tastic phrases. In an orderly progression
his speeches move to the conclusions of
an memorable logic. Devoid of poetry or
classical illusions. they are crammed
with facts and statistics. But they are
facts-vitalized statistics dramatized into
soul-moving significance-ordered into an
irresistible phalanx, along whose lines
there glisten everywhere the bayonets of
truth that march to the inspiring music
of hope for all mankind.

Their wishes scorned, they are in deadly
earnest now. They cannot be msled
again. No party dare juggle with their

The time has gone by when they will be
satisfied with a sop of Understanding

But the fiery words of prophecy spoken
from this platform four years ago have

not guilty upon the charge of max
ing false report of the condition

The court, before which the case
was tried based its decision on the
testimony of John l.. McGinn, who
stated that he had advised Barnette
and Dusenbury that they could in
clude in their report as money ac-
tually paid into the bank for stock
the notes which We're given by num-
erous of the stockholders. The court
held that if Barnette and Dusen-
bury had been so advised by their
attorney their action did not indi,
cate that there had been any intent
on their part to deceive or defraud.
The court stated further that there
was not sufficient evidence to show
that Barnette and Dusenbury had
tried to defraud the creditors of
the bank by putting in the Gold
Bar stock at an increased value of
$4,000. as it had not been shown
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
interest of the Fairbanks Banking
company in the Gold Bar Lumber
company was not worth $34l 900 at
that time; and it had not been
shown beyond a reasonable doubt
