They ate merely privi leges which they enjoy so long as they remain in the employment and observe the rules of the great industries which employ them If they refuse to be weaned away from their Independence they can not continue to enjoy the benefits extended to them. "When you have thought the whole thing out, therefore, you will find that the program of the new party legalises monopolies and systematically subor dinates working men to them and to plans made by the government both with regard to employment and with regard to wages. Means Economic Mastery Over Workers "Take the thing as a whole, and it look* atrangely like economic mastery over the very lives and fortunes of those who do the dally work of the nation, and all this under the over whelming power and sovereignty of the national government. What most of ns are fighting for is to break up this very partnership between big business and the government. Call upon all in telligent men to beer wltnes* that If thia plan were consummated, if this program werv carried through the great employers and capitalists of the coun try would be under a more overpower Ing temptation than ever to take con trol of the government and keep It sub servient to their purposes. What a prise it would be to capture, how un assailable would be the majesty and tyranny of monopoly If It could thus get sanction of law and tire support of parties; by what means, except open revolt, could we ever break the crust of our life again and become free men, breathing an air of our own, choosing and living lives that we wrought out for ourselves' "It is like coming out of a close and stifling air Into the open, where we ran breathe fully again and see the free spaces of the heavens above us to turn away from such a program, the identical program suggested to com mittees of congress by Mr. Gary and Mr. Perkins, to the proposals with which the great Democratic thinkers of the country oppose such platform. Democratic leaders turn away frott any plan to legalize monopoly and give a l-'ederal commission leave to sav how much of it there should be. because they know exactly what that would mean. Regulation of Competition Needed. "What they propose Is the restora tion of freedom. What we. need Is the regulation of competition and the prosecution of what has created mo nopoly. When you have regulated It. you have in effect restored it. We are not opposed to regulation; we are not opposed to commissions even If they be necessary instruments of adminis trative regulation, but we know that unrestrained, unrestricted competi tion is the very thing that has created monopoly. Great industrial and finan cial concerns have become so power ful that they were able to crush com petition and take a free field for them selves In which they could rule and dominate unhindered The governor then declared that no man had ever been made free by being taken care of as children by the gov emment under which they lived, and then continued: "In this ag" of organisation of capi tal. advances in wages have been won chiefly by organized labor insisting upon its rights and its share The other thing that has worked for the laboring man, when there has been a chance for It to work, has been the great economic law of supply and de mand. In a free field of competition, whenever new enterprises may spring up. where men fulfill their hopes of in dependence and themselves more and more numerously become employers, there is an over-increasing market of labor and with the increasing market for labor there Is generally a steady advance in wages."

We stand for applied honesty of principles. We are. going to keep faith with the people." Don't Wonder at Jeer. When a member of his audience jeered this statement, the colonel re torted : "I don’t wonder you jeer. The old parties had away of making promises end not keeping them. It won't be that way with us." Colonel Roosevelt got a tremendous ovation. The colonel motored from Oyster Bay early in the morning Anticipating a crowd al the Grand Central station, at New York, the candidate took a de ' viou« course to his car. passing through the baggage room and a side entrance.

Council's special committee on the i reorganization of the chief of construc , tion department completed its report itt a meeting today . It will recommend a new system for the department at the theeting of council tomorrow afternoon. ' composed of C. C. .Mason, S. A. Wardlaw and Harvey Hatcher called on Chief of Construc tion R. M. Clayton and asked him if he would accept a position as city consult ing engineer. Captain Clayton said he would wait to see what sort of consult ing engineer’s place council created and what changes were made in the chief of construction department. He said he would then decide whether to run for chief of construction or accept the place of consulting engineer. In view of that reply, the committee decided not to recommend that a per manent position of consulting engineer be created. Dr. Rudolph Hering is now consulting engineer to advise as to the bond issue Improvements. But mem bers of council have announced that this office will be discontinued on Oc tober 1. Urge Hancock's Candidacy. Since the committee decided at its last meeting to recommend the elimi nation of the qualification that a man shall have had ten years’ experience as engineer before being eligible as a can didate before the people for chief of construction, it was reported today a movement had been begun by a number of citizens to get W. A. Hancock, for mer aiderman from the Seventh ward, to run for chief of construction. Mr. Hancock is manager of the South River Brick Company Tiw committee decided the chi's of construction should have an assistant in charge of the details of the office, an engineer in charge of streets and an engineer in charge of sewers, and that the appointment of these assist ants should be approved by council and that council should have the authority to remove them at any time. The chief of construction now has four assistants, one in charge of streets, one in charge of sewers, one in charge of sidewalks and one in charge of street repairs. The chief of construction has | general supervision over them all and he lias absolute authority as to appoint ments and removals. It had already been cfcc ided that the chief of construc tion should be under the direction of council. Hatcher Still Protests. Councilman Wardlaw made a sugges tion that there should be some one in the chief of construction's office during ( all office hours who could give general ! information to the public. He said tin- I less Captain Clayton was in the office he couldn't get any information about ' things. The other members of the eom- I mittee agreed with him, saying that the i new assistant to the chief of construc tion would be the man to meet the pub ! lie in the,.construction office. Councilman Hatcher, chairman of the council streets committee and who has protested that there was no general complaint against Atlanta's streets, in sisted that no changes were needed In the chief of '.’oustruction department. He said that all the members of the < ommittee knew Captain Clayton would be tc elected. (DOG FOILS THIEF IN HUKE’S BOOM (Tobacco King Awakes When He Hears Bark and Finds Burglar at Work. r NEW YORK.
