Senator James Speaks,

SHADOW LAWN, N. j., Sept. a.
OF Kentucky, in his address notifying
United States Senator Ollie NJ. James,
President Wilson of his nomination for
the presidency again, spoke in part, as
follows:
mr. President: The democracy of
the republic assembled in national con.
vention at st. Louis, Mo-, June 18th,
1916, was genuinely representative of
the true spirit of America-its ideals of
justice and of patriotism.
"These representatives of the purest
democracy in the world, after three
and half years. of trial of your service
to the people of the country, with a ma !.
ton to choose from to fill the creates.
office in the world, instinctiYely and
enthusiastically turned to you. BY this
they not only registered their own will
and desire, but also the Will and wish
of the people back home, whose trusted
and honored spokesman they were.
With an enthusiasm, unanimity and
earnestness never surpassed in the pol
itical life of America, they have sum.
moned you again to lead the hosts of
peace, prosperity and American right
eousness.
They do not make this call upon you
for the purpose of honoring you, for
you have already had bestowed upon
you by your countrymen the greatest
honor within their gift. They call you
for service to America and mankind; a
service you have so amply proved %
be of the highest type known to just
governments among men; a service
that has restored taxation to its his
toric and constitutional function; n
service that has freed trade to individ-
ual and honest endeayor, service that
has lifted from the tables and homes of
the plan people of America a burden
of taxation which they have unjust1y
borne for more than half century anG
placed it upon the wealth and for
tunes of the land; service that has
siriven monopoly from it's rendezvous
of taxation; a service that has denied
to the trusts of republican creation a
hiding place in our economic life; a
service to the toilers of America that
lifted them from the despised level Of
a commodity to the high plane of hui
man unit in our industrial life; a SER
VICE IudC udS ulSHlHSu LuSHl-Lue great
army of workers of the field, factory
and mine; a service that opened the
courts to all men upon equal terms OF
Justice and constitutional liberty; a
service that freed the money of ma
tion from the control of a money oil
garchy,' and lodged it in the hands OF
the government; service that at once
destroyed two trusts, money trust
and a panic trust, where the business
can not be oppressed or destroyed by
the manipulation of the money market,
ror legislation controlled, intimidated
or suppressed by the panic trust These
two trusts that your service and
matchless leadership destroyed live on.

The governor was not playing the
game as it should be played. That
much was common talk at the cap
itoL Tt was all very well for him to
take up an attitude of opposition to
Boss Lloyd, but why had he run for
governor under LlOyd's auspices? He
must have known Lloyd was not Civ

There were some who justified the
governor in claiming that man can
not get into political life at all I'M
less he is willing to accept some
shady backing. But Governor Pet

that he meant to be the peoples

Peters had been Boss Lloyd's law

secret tragedy of his life. Peters
wife had left him a few years after
their marriage, taking with her their
only child, a boy. Lloyd, with all his
influence, had never heard of her
again, had never set eyes on her
since that day. Peters had still been
trying to discover her when Lloyd
nominated him for Office.
Peters had been a very quiet man.
Few knew him; it was not until the
papers were full of the life story of
the new governor that it was known
he was a married man, with a son at
the state university. Lloyd, in par
ticuIar, had not known. When he
knew he set to work to get Peters in
leading strings. And he had him.
He exulted as he walked up the hill
toward the executive offices. He did
