The following is the address, In part, delivered by Albert J. Beverldge last evening: "Because the two old parties will not meet the questions of the day; because they refuse to serve humanity and obey the commands of God; because both of them have come to be owned by a mighty, a secret and a treasonable power; because of these things, out of the heart and conscience of the people has sprung a great new party that will serve humanity; that will obey God's voice, and that will further the ungoing of the American Republic. It is an old story to these gray haired veterans who honor me, or rather honor the cause, by their presence, for these old men will tell you younger ones that when they were young men the country then faced another crisis exactly like the present, and these old men, the comrades of my father and my brothers then, belonged . to two old parties. Yon belonged to the Whig Party or the Democratic Party, but because both of those parties then were owned as the two old parties now are owned by a great and a treasonable power; because they no longer would serve humanity, these old veterans were patriots enough to throw aside an empty outworn party name and help to found a great new party, which sprang then as this one does now, clean and fresh and strong from the hearts and conscience and hte hopes of the American people.

"Sixty years ago in this very city, or in the county at least, there was a young Democrat lawyer. He had held office as a Democrat and he loved the Democratic Party. It had done great things for the Republic. It had carried the flag even to the gates of sunset, and he did not want to leave it, but when ; the time came that the young Democratic lawyer found that the Democratic Party was hopelessly own-' ed by this treasonable power, he was patriot enough to quit it and help to form", the great new party of human freedom, and the name of that young Indiana, Wayne County Democrat lawyer was Oliver P, Morton. "And so we are doing no new thing. We are only following in immortal footsteps. Young Indiana Democrats; young Indiana Republicans here, these old men will tell you that just as today little local politicians of both parties, getting their orders from Indianapolis, who get their orders in turn from New York themselves, they come to' you and beg you to be regular; beg you to stand by the old party now; just so the same kind of men came to these old men when they were' young and begged them to do the same thing. And just as a press that was subservient , to that great power then flaunted aDd derided the new Republican Party because It had broken away, from the, . trammels of the parties, so the same thing is happeningtoday." For, """ my fiTends,'" the1 cause for which these men who bear 1 cause "for which these men who wear In their button ' holes the old hrown

badge of glory were with my father and my brothers, leaving as they did, my mother alone on the Ohio farm, and went at that time to fight on battlefields to destroy this malign power, which is the same power, only much greater, much more subtle, much more" dangerous, we are fighting now, md you who come with us are going forth in the same holy cause that those men wentorth when they answered Abraham Lincoln's call, "We are coming. Father Abraham, three hundred thousand strong." (Applause.) "Now, what is this power? At Chicago I called it the invisible government. And what is this invisible government? It is a partnership, a conspiracy of wicked special interests that want and get unrighteous gain, not only at the expense of the people's pockes, as I ' shall show you, at the expense of people's lives themselves. And ; how do they work? They work through a system of political bosses that today own and manage both old parties. The boss system in American politics is a bipartisan system. These politicians who come to you, Democratic voters, and say, "Fight your Republican friends and neighbors; fight them at the polls," and those Republicans who come to you, politicians who come to you Republican voters and say "Now light your Democratic friends and neighbors," what do they get up this battle for? Why do they ask you? They say to you Democrats, "You have got a chance to win." Win, who for? Themselves. Your wives or children? No. What for? Good laws?

No. That the Democratic bosa system may continue to rule them, and working out its purposes. And the Republican political bosses that come to you Republican voters and say "Stand by the old party; save the party; go fight your Democratic neighbors and friends?" What for? Who for? save the party? Themselves. For good laws? No, but for the supremacy of the Republican bosses. And what do they do when the sham battle is over? They get together, both of them, in a back room, laugh at the fools they have made of the people, and there lay out and agree upon that plan of legislation or lack of if which wiil serve their masters, the banded special interests. I am going to show you people, all of you, just exactly what it is that the boss system does to every man, woman and child here in Wayne County, in Indiana, and in the Nation. And before I go further, I want to say this, and I want to make it very clear: If there is- anybody here who feels that any statement I make is not accurate, you must do yourself the justice and me the justice, and your friends here, to respectfully rise and point out where I am wrong, and I will thank you for it, and correct my statements; and if; perchance, you are wrong, why, then you thank me for giving you light. Or, if there is anybody here who feels that any point I make is not clear, you are urged you are not only welcome, but I urge you to ask me any question you please. No one is barred. I do that because my idea of a political meeting is not that it is a gathering of clansmen to shout fox somebody without understanding things. My idea of a political meeting is a gathering of friends or neighbors, all at heart equally honest, equally patriotic, and

'every one equally, earnestly anxious

to get the best thingse for all, for our homes and for our country. "Let us go on and see just what the boss system has done to us here in Indiana. Yon kept me in Washington for twelve years. I greatly appreciated it. I was there to look after your national affairs. I did it the best that I could, but T took it for granted that everything was going on reasonably well out here in Indiana. I might have known better, because I might have known that the two machines that ran the two old parties would do the same things here that they had donethere. After the Progressives made

me their candidate for Governor, it ben

came my duty to look after Indiana affairs. The first thing I looked at was roads. I went over some of the worst roads last week outside of Russia, in this- state, and yet we have got the best materials for road making of any state in this- Union, and nearly the worst road laws,, and that led me to look over the tax laws. Ev

ery property owner here knows they J

rest unequally upon the owners, the property " owners.- The chief evil of these bad road laws- is a provision of the law which admits of and. legalizes a great system that cannot be called by any other name except dishonest. I will give you an illustration of it. All the corporations,, the railroads and all lines, are required by this law to pay or work out a road tax. Take the railroads. They are supposed, under the' law to pay or work out a million dollars of taxes on your roads every year. What happens? Bunching them all together for convenience, the railroads hire a big contractor the big contractors being parts of the bi-partisan machine that rules the two parties to do that million dollars worth of work for them for $850,000, so at the very beginning the railroads put in their pockets every year $150,000 that belongs to the people. Then what happens? These big contractors then Bell that contract, sublet if, for sir hundred thousand dollars-, and so they put into their pockets $250,000 every year, without leaving their offices, out of that million that ought to go to your roads, and then it is sublet again into every county of the state, to men whom with a few honorable exceptions, are powerful politicians; in a Democratic county, Democratic politicians ; in a Republican county, to Republican politicians. Out of the million dollars of railway road tax, you

people get less than $150,000' worth, of

work done on your roads, and that work is poor work, for, mark you, the final slick provision of this law is that there is nothing requiring anybody to show how much work has been done or what kind. What put that kind of a law .on the statute book? The bi-partisan boss system in Indiana politics. Every time the peo

ple have tried to correct it they have met the combined Democratic and Republican bosses over there at Indianapolis in the legislature, defeating it and fighting it. Why didn't Governor Marshall exercise at least his moral influence as a leader of the people- of this state and send a message to the legislature and ask why such a bill is not reported out and considered when a million dollars of the people's money is concerned in this state every year. I don't know why he didn't do it, but I will tell you what, if I am Governor, that bill will not only go through . the house, but it will go through the Senate, too, or there will be the biggest row in Indiana you ever heard of. Did you hear anything about that from the Republican or Democratic candidates in their platforms? And yet people who pretend to be for good roads are fighting me alone, when I am the only man, and we are the only party pledged upon our honor on this matter. "Now, listen to this. Tell me, you people, why don't we have free school books in Indiana? (Applause.) And why are your school books changed now every two or three years? (Applause) Every time that change occurs, scores of thousands of dollars go from the pockets of the parents of this state into the pockets of whom? The school book trust. Why haven't we got that law in Indiana? Free school books for our children. That is more important, even, than roads. The bi-partisan' boss system. Democratic and Republican bosses getting together, have prevented every law for a free school book system in this state, and why? Because the school book trust and the railroad contract graft system, and the public service corporation and every other vile form of capital in this state, are members of our local Indiana invisible government, as the greater interests are members of the national invisible government, and the bi-partisan boss system serves them both. "What say the Democrats and Republicans on the matter of free school books? Not one word. And the free school book plank was turned down in the platform of the Democratic and Republican parties, at the bidding' of the machine which ran those conventions. What do we say about it? We say in our platform, and what we say in our platform we must carry out The people of Indiana shall have free school books as so'on as they give us the power to give it to them. (Applause.) "I don't know about Richmond. I do know about Indianapolis, South Bend, Evansville, Fort Wayne, and in all the other towns, the light we read by, the heat we are warmed and cook by, the water we drink, the tram cars that carry us; nearly all our public necessities are furnished. by public service corporations, and what do they do? They furnish Just such service as they please; just charge us what they want to charge us; make no accounting to anybody; nobody is controlling them. There are cases on record where the sale of impure water has caused typhoid fever epidemics that swept scores of people into their graves. Why is that condition in this Btate? Why haven't we got a public utilities commission that will go to all out public service corporations and say, "You furnish good service to the people; good light; pure water; good transportation, and you charge them an honest price for it, and if you don't do that, we will take your franchise away and give it to some person who will, under the power of the state." (Applause.) The Democratic convention turned the public utilities plank down; wouldn't have it; wouldn't hear to it, and when the Progressives put a powerful public utilities commission plank in our platform, the Republican machine put in a weak imitation of it in their platform. Let me say to you that if you give the Progressives power in this state, we will give you a public utilities commission that has teeth and will bite. If I am Governor and appoint that commission, I will see that it does bite, too. (Applause.)"
