Cleveland, Dt. 27. Senator Rob
ert M. Ln Folate, opened bis speak
ing campaign, -for tbx presidency
tonight by an assault on the supreme
court, an attack on the republican
national committee, an arraignment
of the trusts and an enunciation of
Lhia loess for tne cur of evils result-
in: from tbe present system of gov-
ernment:
The criticism of the supreme court
wa the most bitter ever beard from
the Wisconsin aenator. It waa predi
cated on the recent ruling of the
court in the atandard oil and tobac
co cases. . The rule of reason he de
nounced aa a "profound revolution
In the position of the court."
.''Surely the court does not expect
the people to take It seriously," he
said, concluding his criticism. - I
From this Mr. lFollette launch
ed Into a discussion of Elbert H.
Gary's plan for federal regulation
of price as a relief from monopoly.
Mr. LaPollette said be had no pa
tienre with tbla method, la his
analysis he went farther and said
that ultimately the government
would Lav to fi prices of labor,
hours of employment and compen
sation of original producers, la order
to si accurately the prices to be of
fered the consumers.
Instead of the Gary plan or the
Taft plan of federal Ilcenae fcr In
corporation Senator LaFoHctte pro
posed bis own plan for commission
on reetralUs of, trado to reliv4
country if tW condition in' which
he finds It. , The senator saw a great
evil In the growth of the trust and
monopolies, which he attributed to
patent rights, th tariff laws jktiA
the money trust.
Although Senator LaFollette made
no direct reference to tbe president
nor suggested hi .own candidacy,
be Included la bla speech a denun
ciation of the Payne-Aldrictt tariff
law Immediately following hia praise
of labor organisation and bis opin
ion that th Sherman antl-trnst law
did not contemplate their regulation.
The progreKv .movement, Mr.
LaFoHette declared, has aa It a aim
the restoration of toe government
to the people. "The real cure for
the 1 1'- f democracy la- more democ
racy," waa one of hia eplgraraa. .
Th senator's speech dealt with
the recent actios of the repub'lrsn
national committee In leaving to the
governing committees of the party
to direct th manner of selecting
drlcgatea. "?? national republi
can tosmlttee la almost wholly com
posed of men opposed to the primary
principle," he asserted. "At Its re
cent meeting In Washington, this
commute went on record, sot only
aa opposing voluntary primary elec
tion in states where there Is no
law providing for them, bnt by fail
ing to directly recognise tb law It
tho state that have provided for
the election of delcgatca to the na
tional convention In primary elec
tion, "
"Thus this reactionary committee
flagrantly sets at naught the will of
the peopto of these statea that have
repudiated tbe caucus and conven
tion system. 6urh a policy will not
tend to strengthen the party with
th people. W are lighting this
thing and will continue to fight II
4i n til In every state primaries will be
provided by law which will give to
every voter the means f directly
etpresleg hia choice of candidates
lo go npon the party ticket, from
president to coroner." ,
