"a mighty power has been builded in
this country in recent years, so strong,
yet so insidious and far-reachng in its
that men are gravely inquiring wheth-
er it's iron grip on government and
business can ever be broken.
again and again it has proved
strong enough to nominate the candi-
date for both parties. 1t has dominat ted
the organization of legislative bodies,
state and national, and of the commit
tees which frame legislation. Its in
fuence has been felt in Cabinets and in
the policies of Administrations and has
been clearly seen in the appointment of
prosecuting officers and selection of
judges. This great power which has
taken from the American people the
control of their own government is the
product of monopoly and organized
greed"
Declaring that never before bad the
national capital "attracted So menacing
an army of lobbyists seeking from the
representatives of the people unjust
concessions to special interests" Sena-
tor La Toilette named nineteen "great
com binations of financial power which
maintain active organizations in Wash

La Toilette said, was "a striking ex

can be marshaled by single interest"
To meet this "intolerable situation"
the Senator urged support OF the "peo-

representatives of labor organizations,
progressive farm organizations and
leaders of liberal opinion, the prime
object of which, he said, was to keep

SHOT TO DEATH.
Professor Wharton Of Syracuse
Killed by instructor Who
Ends Own Life.
TRIED TO PREVENT SUICIDE
Chancellor Day Believes Dean Dis
covered Professor Beckwith in Act
of Committing Suicide and Was
Shot During Struggle.

Holmes BeckWith, an instructor and
head of the eligibility committee of the

life with bullet.
The shooting occurred in one of the
rooms of the school Of business ad-
ministration
The theory advanced by Chancellor
Day of the University, and by Frank
Malpass, Onondaga county district
attorney, is that Beckwith was dis
covered by Wharton in the act of
committing suicide and that Wharton
interfered, being shot himself in the
struggle that followed.
BeckWith is said to have been I'M
popular with university students and,
it is claimed, petition was being
circulated in the student body asking
that no Encouragement contract be
