who told of the work in his state. j

Delegate 1-Jt-nry .1 Allen, of Kansas,
tose and moved that the »’invention
proceed with the nomination. The
chair pointed out that under the tem

not yet adopted the nominations must
come after the reports of all commit

Allen Wants To Go

Allen then moved a suspension of tin
rules. This was dicla'ed out of order
Allen then made a motion sustain' d by
a majority of the delegates of his stale
to suspend the rules and proceed witli
the nominating speeches.
Pennsylvania and Minnesota del-na

Timothy Woodruff, of Ne\y York, got

the motion
"I wanted to say to you.” lie said,

selves by luncheon and then we will be
better prepared for the battle before
us.”
William I'iinn. of Pennsylvania, then
got the floor. He said he believed the
convenience of the delegates should
count fm something. Half the dele
gates from his state wanted to 1.-ayo
tonight for their homes. He said >t
übs well known that the country was
hampered by rules and decisions.
"There is no reason whv we should
not hear the spec hes eulogizing the

the hasty delegates' action indicated t

of th< new' party He urged that plenty'

SOME THINGS WOODROW WILSON
SAYS IN SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
This is plainly a new age. It requires self-restraint not to
attempt too much, ami yet it would be cowardly to attempt too
little.
There are two great things to do. One is to set up the
rule of justice and of right in siieh matters as the tariff, trusts,
hanking. v * * The other is the great task of protecting
our people and onr resources and keeping open to the whole
people the doors of opportunity.
The tariff question has not been business. It lias been poli
tics. The tariff has become a system of favors.
We denounce the Payne-Aldrich tariff act as the most con
spicuous example ever afforded the country of special favors.
There should be an immediate revision, and it should be
downward, unhesitatingly and steadily downward.
The high cost of living is arranged by private understand
ing.
Trusts have grown up very luxuriantly’ under the ban of
the Federal anti trust law. It will be necessary to supplement
the present law with such laws, both civil and criminal, as will
i ffeetually punish and prevent these methods.

the additional duty is the great task of
protecting our people and our resources
and of keeeplng open to the whole peo
ple the doors of opportunity through
which the> must, generation by genera
tion. pass if they are to make conquests
of their fortunes in health, in freedom,
in peace, and in contentment. In the
performance c.f this second great duty
we are face to face with questions of con

Politics, Not Business.

“I say nothing for the moment abou

vlctfon as Democrats is. that in the las
analysis tlie only safe and legitimate ob

not my present point. We denounce th

“• spicuous example ever afforded the- coun
try of the special favors and monopolist!
advantages which the leaders of the Re
publican party have so often shown them
selves willing to extend to those to whon
they looked for campaign contributions.
Should Be Immediate
Revision Downward.
“There should be an immediate revision
and it should be downward, unhesitating
,f ly and steadily downward.
s “It should begin with the schedule
which l-.ave been most obviously used t
kill competition and to raise prices in th
1 I’nited States, arbitrarily and without re
j gard to the prices pertaining elsewher
s in tlie markets of the world; and it shouic

' oly. for special advantage to limite
groups of beneficiaries, or for subsidize
1 control of any kind in the markets o
the enterprises of the country; until spe
8 cial favors of every sort shall have bee:
e absolutely withdrawn.
J “There has been no more demoralizin
influence in our politics in our time tha
the influence of tariff legislation, the ir
fluence of the idea that the governrnen
was the grand dispenser of favors, th
e maker and unmaker of fortunes, and c
1 opportunities such as certain men hav
n sought in order to control the movemen
' e of trade and industry throughout th
continent. It lias made tlie government

i Nation Wealthy,
IS But People Poor.
I! "For what has the result been: Pros
ly pertty'.' Yes. if by prosperity you mea
:e -ast wealth no matter how distribute’
y or whether distributed at all or not. Th
nation as a nation lias grown immense!
in rich She is justly proud of her indui
i- ; tries and of the genius of her men of al
1- fairs They can master anything tlie
>e set their minds to. and we have bee
le greatly stimulated under their leadershi
rs and command. But what of the othe
h ; side of the picture? It is not as eas
ir | tor us to live as it used to be. Ou
ff j money will not buy as much. Hig
le i wages, even when we can get them, yiel
-n lus no great comfort. We used to be het
•- ter off with less, because dollar coul
e buy so much more. The majority of u
•i have been disturbed to find ourselve
n growing poorer, even though our earn
>- Ir.ga were slowly increasing. Prices dim
faster than we can pi;sh our earnings ui
11 "Moreover, we begin to perseive som
things about the movement of prices that
concern us very deeply, and fix our at
tention upon the tariff schedules with a
more definite determination than ever to
get to the bottom of this matter. We
have been looking into it and we begin to
see very clearly what at least some of
the methods are by which prices are
fixed. We know that they are not fixed
by the competitions of the market, or by
the ancient law of supply and demand.
The high cost of living is arranged by
private understanding.
“I am not drawing up an indictment
against anybody. This is the natural his
tory of such tariffs as are now contrived.
Nobody in particular, t suppose, is to
blame, and I am not interested just now
in blaming anybody. The fact is that
the trusts have been formed, have gained
al! but complete control of the larger
enterprises of the country.
Anti-Trust Laws
Make Trusts Fat.
"The general terms of the present Fed
eral anti-trust Jaw forbidding ’combina
tions in restraint of trade' have ap
parently proved ineffectual. Trusts have
grown up under its ban very luxuriantly,
and have pursued the methods by which
so many of them have established virtual
monopolies without serious let or hin
drance. It has roared against them like
any sucking dove.
"But the means and methods by which
trusts have established monopolies have
now become known. It will be necessary
to supplement the present law with such
laws, both civil and criminal, as will ef
fectually punish and prevent those meth
ods. adding such other laws as may be
necessary to provide suitable and ade
quate judicial processes, whether civil or
criminal, to disclose them and follow them
to final verdict and judgment. They must
be specifically and directly met by law
as they develop.
"But the problem and the difficulty are
much greater than that. There are not
merely great trusts and combinations
which are to be controlled and deprived
of their power to create monopolies and
destroy rivals; there is something bigger
still than they are and more subtle, more
evasive, more difficult to deal with. There
are vast confederacies tas 1 may perhaps
call them for the sake of convenience) of
banks, railways, express companies, min
ing corporations, power and development
companies and all the rest of the circle,
bound together by the fact that the own
ership of their stock and the members of
their boards of directors are controlled
and determined by comparatively small
and closely Interrelated groups of persons
who, by their informal confederacy, may
control, if they please and when they will,
both credit and enterprise
Confederacies But
Natural Outgrowth.
"There is nothing illegal about these
confederacies, so far as I can perceive.
They have come about very t aturally,
generally without plan or deliberation,
rather because there was so much money
to be invested and it was in the hands,
at great financial centers, of men ac
quainted with one another and intimately
associated in business, than because any
one had conceived and was carrying out
a plan of general control; but they are
none the less potent a force in our eco
nomic and flnacial system on that ac
count. They are part of our problem.
Their very existence gives rise to the
suspicion of a 'money trust,’ a concen
tration of the control of credit which may
at any time become infinitely dangerous
to free enterprise. If such a concentra
tion and control does not actually exist,
It is evident that it can easily be set uy
and used at will. Laws must be devised
which will prevent this, if laws can be
worked out by fair and free counsel that
will accomplish that result without de
stroying or -seriously embarrassing any
sound or legitimate business undertaking
or necessary and wholesome arrange
ment.
Not a Partisan
Or Personal Fight.
“We should go into this campaign con
fident of only one thing—confident ol
what we want to do if intrusted with tht
government. It is not a partisan figlu
we are entering upon. We are happily
excused from personal attacks upon op
ponents and from all general indictments
against the men opposed to us. The facts
are patent to everybody; we do not havt
to prove them; the more frank amont
oyr opponents admit them
“To bte free is not necessarily to foe
wise. But wisdom comes with counsel
with the frank and free conference o:
untrammeled men united in the commol
interest. Should I be intrusted with tin
great office of president, 1 would seel
counsel wherever it could be had upot
free terms. 1 know the temper of th,
great convention which nominated me:
know the temper of the country that lay
back of that convention and spokt
through it I heed with deep thankful
ness the message you bring me front it
I feel that I am surrounded by met
whose principles and ambitions are thost
of true servants of the people. 1 than!
God, and will take courage."
