Judge Nortoni said in part:

Juukt 4NOIlOul SdlQ III part.
Acting upon principle 1 separated
from the Republican party four years
ago and participated in the organiza-
ton of the Progressive party, because
my conscience forbade that | should
longer affiliate with the party used as
an instrument in behalf of large inter
ests enjoying special privileges at the
expense of the people as a whole 1t
is obvious that the same crowd of re-
dictionary leaders constitutes the works
of the Republican party now as before
In 1912 these men were forced to steal
delegates to control the national COLI
vention but in 1916 the Progressives
having moved out, they controlled the
situation without opposition for all
were of one accord.
There is dual leadership in both
the old parties. Barnes, Penrose,
Crane, SmOot and others, who dOmin-
ate the Republican party organization,
it is we'll known, are in alliance with
the big business interests of the coun-
try to conserve and protect them at all
hazards. On the other hand there are
certain gentlemen in the Republican
party such as La Toilette, Cummins,
Kenyon and others, who represent the
Progressive view and stand on the
side of the people when there is
controversy between the rights of hui
mainly and those Of property.
Wilson VS.. Tammany.
Likewise there are two leaderships
in the Democratic party. Charles F.
Murphy of Tammany hall and others
represent the same interests in the
/ Democratic party as those first named
in the Republican party, while Presi-
/ dent Wilson and those who support
/ him represent the Progressive view
At the moment, however, it appears
that the old reactionary crowd is in
control of the Republican party, while
/ Mr.. Wilson and those who adhere to
/ his views dominate the Democratic
/ party.
much has been said of the Mexican
situation When the facts concerned
are analysed it seems to me to be pre-
/ posterous to talk about Intervention in
Mexico. In the first place, Mexico is
a country in which we have no inter
estThe Mexican government is not
/ yielding the benefits that it should
yield to the people of the country.
Like American ReYOlutiOnists.
when King George oppressed our
/ people until conditions became intol-
cradle the colOnists of America went
into revolution and cOntended for their
rights. This is the spirit in Mexico
President Taft mussed the matter up
a bit and passed it on to President
/ Wilson. President Wilson has sought
to keep at peace with Mexico and has
sought not to interfere with the rights
of the Mexican people.
81 stand with the president that
/ Huerta, murderer of the head of the
/ government, should not have been re-
cognized as the ruler of the Mexican
| people. If a murderer moves next door
to you l believe you would not care to
! recognize him as a frienG. Again, it is
said that Huerta should have been
made to salute the flag. Huerta skip
\ ped out of Mexico and never did go
back and now is dead. ] am sure we
do not care to follow him to where he
now is to demand the flag salute.
Urges Patience With Bandits.
"Now, about the bandits. Possibly
you are not familiar with conditions
in Missouri for 25 years following the
civil war. We had some bandits OF
our own and it took us % years to put
them out of business. SuppOsing Mis-
souri, had been along the Canadian Dor
der and the bandits had raided towns
in Canada, would we have looked fav-
orably upon a declaration Of war on
the part of England?
$50 far as 1 am concerned, I stand
for the policies of Woodrow Wilson
who has preserved the peace, and will
