La Follette made the opening speech of hia., campaign for the prps- l3^cy here last night He launched into a discussion of Elbert H. Gary’s plan for tederal regulation of prices as a relief from monopoly. Mr. La Follette said he had no patience with thlH method. In his analysis he went farther and said that ultimately the government would have to fix prices of labor, hours of employment and compensation of original producers in order to fix accurately the prices to be olTered the consumers. Instead of the Gary plan or the Taft plan of a federal license for in corporation^ Senator LaFollette pro posed his otvn plan for a commission on restraint of trade to relieve tne country of the condition in which he finds it. The senator saw great evil in the growth of the trusts and de scribing it said: - • "A treipendouB jpower has grown up in the country in recent years. A«rain and again it has proven strong enoug>i to nominate the candidate or both political parties. It rules in the organization of legislative bodies, state and national, and of the com mittees which fmme legislation. Its Influence is felt in cabinets and in the policies of administration. Its in fluence Is seen in the appointrnent of prosecuting officers and the selection of judges upon the bench. “In business it has crippled or de stroyed competition. It has stifled in dividual initiative. It has fixed limi tations in the field of production, it makes prices and imposes Its burdens upon the consuming public at will. “In finance its power Is unlimited.

Maryland Lynching By Assoclalied Press. Ani^apolis, Md., Dec. 27.—Governor Crothers has interested himself in the investigation of the lynching of King Johnson, alias Davis, the negro wlio w'as taken from the lockup at Broklyn, Md., Christmas morning, and killed by unknown persons. Johnson shot and killed Frederick Schwab, a white man, at Fairfield, last Sunday morning. After a constiltation with Judge Brasheers and States Attorney Green of Anne Rundel c^unty, the govefhor last night autl^orized the statetpent that he would fnsist that the^ lynchers be brought to justice. Both the coun ty officers expressed themselves as in aecord with the governor. The couifty police are investigating the affair but their efforts thus far to learn the identity of Johnson’s slayers have been futile, it is understood. Save ieveraL Dollar* by 8, 1912.

He rriticised the proposed National Reserve Association of the Aldrlcn monetary jilan. “The greatest menace to ronipetition at the present time is the control of credit and the concen-J nation of money in the hands or tho.'^e who control the trusts,” he continued. “Elasticity in our currency is ’mperatlve, and must be secured, blit any plan to secure It, like that of tile proposed National. Reserve Association, which puts control in the hands of the banks and moneyed interests, will strengthen the power of the trusts to get capital, and to keep competitors frotn getting it. Any such plan must be controlled by the people. It Is the people’s money that is expected to give security to any plan, and the people’s money must not be controll^ by those who, on the plea of elasticity will be able to use it to kill competitors of the trusts.” Senator LaFollette described the manner of growth of trusts And mo nopolies and attributed to patent rights, the tariff laws and the money trusts the reason for their being. “At any time within the last ten or fifteen years w'henever a voice has been raised in protest, it has been si lenced or discredited as an attack upon buslftess and prosperity,” he said. “Honest, unselfish, patriotic ef fort to awaken the public to an ap preciation of the dangers threatened by this great power, has been de nounced as the work of the dema gogue and self-seeker. Whoever has beeti conspicuous in any movement, municipal, state or national, that man has been marked and proclaimed dangerous, and wherever such a lead er has been thorovfth going and^ elec tive in his work—through a controi- ed press, and upon the highest btia- ’ness atithorlty, every such man has been especially characterized and the public particularly warned against him. But finally, the time seems to have arrived when even the^nost con- servative citizen admits the gravity of the prblem confronting the Amer ican people.” \ The progressive movement, Jpr. La Follette declared, has as its aim the restoration of the government to the people. “I'he real cure for the ills of democracy Is more democracy” was one of his epigrams. “That is what the struggle in Wis consin, in California, in Ohio and Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Kansas, and In every other state in this union, means; that government shall be brought back t6 and commit ted to the hands of the* people; that they are supreme over legislatures, over government, over presidents, over constitutions, over courts,” he asserted. . * ^ "The very backbone of true repre sentative ' governnaent Is the direct participation In the affairs rnent by the people through direct primaries for the nomli^tlon of can- dldates,'' he said. He ^eciartd that the old machine politicians had lost control in Wlffconsin through _this law. He also favored the presidential primary system; of “If there Is one thln« mom than another that$ha« front In,this presslvesr It 1« the demand tor the election of deiegatei to the national convention by Sefr tions, and a provision'by wkich tors may directly ^ J choice for presidential. candldilteB SpSn th«lr party ticket Thlt^prop^ sition has' been oppoied^ ^ov tionai republican They machine poUUcians everywhere.

By Associated Press. Sterling, 111,, Dec. 27.—It developed today that, Duncan Mackay, one of the largest real estate owners in Gal veston, Texas, and whose name is linked with the rebuilding of that city after the great storm there, has been indicted by the October grand jury on charges of misappropriating funds left by his father as a. part ol an estate valued at $3,000,000. The transactions which led to the Indictnient date back several years. After long litigation nere in the cir cuit court of Whiteside county a judgment for nearly $100,000 was-is sued against Mackay but before the findings were entered left the ju-, rlsdiction of , the .courti Duncan Moore, a nephew of the San Antonio man, then went before the grand jury and gave testimony which resulted in the indictment charging his uncle with misappropriation ot practically the entire amount of the judgment.
