GOVERNOR STANLEY ON TRUSTS
Says Opposition TO Trusts Is Car-

TOPEKA, May 21.-(SpecialD In discuss
ing the question of trusts to-day Governor
Stanley said:
Opposition to the trusts is a policy of
the Republican party. The first antitrust
law of congress five years ago was a Re
publican measure. and has always been
designated by the name of Republican n

introduced i'll this state ten years ago by
Republican, passed by a Republican leg

the day of his Inauguration. President Nc
klnley took strong grounds against the
trusts, as did the St. Louis platform upon
which he was elected. Democracy is now
pretending to be opposed to trusts. but its
very pretense is joke. New York city
is the common citadel of trusts and Dem

and do business on the same street. Wall
street is the mother of trusts. Tammany
Hall and Wall street are members of the

of the leaders of that great aggregation

it was the sacred coat of a Filipino secret
