he will endeavor to bring about new
deal" in republican politics; that he
will support Charley Curtis for con
gress in the First district and Senator
Baker for reelection as senator
When asked if he would enter the
congressional race in the First district.
he said 1.-THE use of my name in that
connection has been without consult
ing me. 1t i, proposition upon which
| am wholly uniformed" what, in
your Judgment, is the solution of the
trust problem?" he was asked.
The practical solution Of the whole matter
rests with the state legislatures. The solution
is taxation; just the same as the government
undertook to prevent the sale of oleomargarine
by taxing the product, Just the same as the gov
eminent destroyed the state banks by imposing
the ten per cent. tax. The law already existing
Is practically sufficient. 1t declares all COM
binations in restraint OF trade Illegal and void
II that is supplemented by taxation the matter
will be disposed Of promptly. No problem is
simpler than dealing with the trusts,
