MOOSE PLAN SUGGESTED : BY PERKINS AND GARY I --- ! Wouid Give Interests Satis factory Control of Labor, Says Candidate. MINNEAPOLIS. MINX. Sept. IS.— G" ernor Woodrow Wilson. Democratic candidate for the presidency, arrived in Minneapolis today on his first Western campaign trip. The Xew Jersey execu tive was fresh and rested after la-st night s address at Sioux Falls, and to day plunged into a discussion of the trust problem. He paid most atten tion to the attitude <>f Theodore Roose velt and the Progressive and trust problem. In his speech here he said: "The one proposition upon which this campaign turns Is whether monopoly is inevitable. That 1 deny. If monopoly is Inevitable, then the thing to do is I for the government to take hold of mo nopoly and regulate it. If monopoly is not inevitable, the law should break it up and prevent it forming again. ‘ ‘ Combinations Not Inevitable." "I believe that monopoly can be broken up. I understand that the lead ers of the third party, who have a great many attractive things in their program, nevertheless start with the proposition that the combinations are inevitable and that the best we cat? do is to establish an industrial commis sion which will take charge of them. "I deny the fundamental proposition "The proposed method of regulating the trusts was suggested in the inquiry by the house of representatives. E. H. Gary and George W Perkins. Carry out tile plan and you will have given a control in the market for labor which will suit these gentlemen perfectly. "I am not imagining these things. As a friend of mine said, ’I am not argu ing with you: I am telling you.’ These are the actual facts of our existing in dustrial system.” "These are the actual facts of our existing industrial system.” said the governor. "Now. here is the parting of tlie ways You say, 'Well, if we are not going to regulate the trusts and control them, what are we going to do'.’’ "Haven't you observed how tlie trusts were built up? You say. 'Are you going to return to the old-fashioned competi tion?’ I say no. It is the old-fashioned competition that enabled these men to build up combinations. Regulate Competition His Alternative. "Now, tlie alternative to regulating monopoly is to regulate competition, to say that to go into a community and sell below cost for no other purpose < for it can't be tlie purpose of profit) than to squeeze out a competitor shall be an offense against tlie criminal laws of tlie United States, and that anybody wiio attempts it will have to answer at tlie bar of a criminal tribunal. , "We have been having trials and in vestigations by congress, and we know the processes of unrestricted competi tion by which these men have accom plished the setting up of their monopo lies. and if we don't know how to stop them, then the lawyers of this country have lost their ingenuity and their in telligence. I know scores of lawyers who have been tlie intimate counsel of great corporations and have never ad-| vised them to do anything illegal, but | there are a great many legal things that | you can do now that will put tile little) man out of business. "And that is tin thing w< > t to' change, not tlie lawyer You , an | tlie law and then the whole atniusr'ieii will clear.

FOOTBALL INJURY OF YEARS AGO BLAMED Friend Believes DeLeon Disap pearance and Despondency Played Part in Mystery. I. Herbert McViclcer, the bank cash ier of Ellenwood. Ga.. who disappeared mysteriously ten days ago. is known ti» be alive and able to communicate with his friends, though his present location is still a mystery. His sister. Miss Ka tie Lou McVicker, has let ter from him in which he said he left because he was despondent. A blow on tlie head, received in ' a football game at Locust Grove acade my years ago, is believed by his friend to be tlie cause of Herbert McVicker’s strange disappearance from his home. It was believed just after McVicker re. ceived this injury that his brain would seriously lie affected, but he soon re covered and gave no sign of mental trouble. His friends now believe that Increased business .ares of the past few months brought about pressure on the brain from a piece of the fractured skull, and resulted in McVicker's mor bid despondency and his sudden deter mination to disappear and abandon hi-- affairs. Business Affairs Found in Good Shape. The letter received by Mjss McVick er has not been made public, but a man closely in touch with the .McVicker af fair. who is in Atlanta today, said he had learned that the letter bore the postmark of a Western railroad, show ing it had been mailed on a train, and that McVicker did not divulge his pre*, ent address. In the letter he merely stated that unusual despondency led to his disappearance. For the past ten days the police of a dozen cities, bank officials and friend' have been trying to find the missing bank cashier. An examination of his books showed that he had not tampered with the bank's cash nor was he in any financial trouble other than worry over some transactions pending which rev quired a great deal of attention. "Herbert had been building a cotton gin and some other enterprises,” said this friend today. "It was worry over | increased responsibilities which caused him to give up and drop out of the world, lam sure. He had been used tr working for a salary most of his life and the increased worry of the past few months was too much for him. DeLeon Story May Have Been Cause. "His accounts are correct. He had not touched the bank deposit of a firm in which he is partner, but had drawn only the small amount of cash in his own personal deposit. His business af fairs were all right, but they caused him a great deal of worry. The case seems to be almost identical with that of Moise DeLeon, tlie Atlanta contrac tor. it may have been that reading newspaper accounts of DeLeon’s dis appearance gave McVicker the idea of quitting everything and leaving. "McVicker was unmarried. He had a sweetheart in Ellenwood, but she says she had done nothing to make Herbert leave. Their courtship had not been broken off and seemed progressing as usual. "We folk in Ellenwood think Herbert would willingly give a thousand dollars to come back and resume his old life without gossip about the past. We wish he would return, for we all like and admire him.” $25,000,000 U. S. MONEY MAY HELP MOVE CROPS WASHINGTON.
