defeat OF tue Democratic party at the last
two electioIs is cue TO its not fighting
mouopoiies.' He proposes to set the party

Can any anti5mopopoly bill get through the
Senate? Senator Call is going TO try 10

= 0''i' SENATOR CALLS VIEWS.
In speaking of his bill Senator Call said:
81 am alone IN the Introduction of this
bill, but / mean to push 1t for all It is
worth. I will get it up as soon as can
secure strength enough"
what is the intention of the bill, Sena-
tori" was asked.
II am after the monopolies. The Demo
cratic party did not fight them as it should
and look a The result. Tie catastrophes of
the last two elections are due entirely to
this fact. -..s-.s
Then again the people of the District
are IN bondage. This bill is the entering
wedge for freedom. Once their conGuits
are built any person or any company can
use them. Monopolics will then be a thing
OF the past in the Capital City,"
would government control of telegraphs
and railroads follow"
.'Well." said the Senator, "these projects
would be helped along. If such a scheme
as the one proposed by me was success
fully worked IN the District, l think IL
would have the most beneficial results
on the plans Mentioned. But I'm after the
monopolies and won tstop."
