CLEAN CUT STAND IS URGED In Addressing State Conference of Democrats at Kansas City Today Ex-Gov. Decries Protec tion for Monopoly. Kansas City, Jan. 8. Addressing the Democratic state conference today. Jo seph W. Folk declared the great fight In the country today Is to equalize the distribution of the wealth. "We can not bring about a forced equality of conditions, but there may be an equal ization of the burdens nd opportuni ties." he said. "There Is a growing demand for protection for the people against monopoly. Instead of protect ing monopoly against the people. The only purpose of a protective tariff is to stifle competition and to that ex tent create monopoly. "Tho democratic party should take a clean cut stand against the system of protection. The fight should not be for free raw materials nnd protec tion for manufactured products, or vice versa, but for no protection at all.

Insolent with power, de;'yinK public opinion and plunning further to serve the special Interest, there is a picture that should alarm every patriotic American. "Let the democratic party stand un equivocally against privilege and for equal opportunity. Let us fight, not wealth, but abuses that produce taint ed riches on one hand and undeserved poverty on the other. Let it place manhood above money nnd conscience yrtove cunning. Let It stand for free flom, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech and free dom from graft, corruption and privi lege." STATE DEMOCRATS MEET.
