Senator Vim + Chandler. ex Gov

the Republicans Of New II impshire
inviting cooperation IN opposing what
is termed the railroad power" In the
state. and in suppressing evils arising
from industrial C mbines. and adyac,t
ing improved election lays and Other
reforms
The address, in part, says:
:" The undersigned Republicans solicit
your cooperation in efforts within the
party 10 obtain:
1.-The statutory prohibition Of free
passes on railroads
"2-Ths repeal Of the power Of the
supreme court to decide that any steam
or electric railroad which its promoters
desire to build. is unnecessary and hos

"4-rhe disoo1tinu Ince Of collection

sums Of money from Office holders. the
treasures and owners Of railroads and
other sources, and the promotion Of
honest election methods.
"5-The suppression Of the evils
arising from trusts. "
Under the head OF trusts the address
advocates the universal application il
the state and nation OF the principle Of
unrestricted composition, which is the
life Of trade and the basis Of all pros.
perity in society. and the election of
Numbers Of legislature and Of Congress
who will enforce this principle.
The conventions Will readily enough
denounce trusts aud declare for COM
petition. The danger is that the cause
will be betrayed 6y the representatives.
aud senators in the state legislatures
and in the national Congress; so thai
extraordinary pains must be taken by
the people to stand against such be-
,rayals
The appeal concludes: The under
signed believe that the neglect by Re-
politicians generally to pursue earnestly
and in good faith the five objects
named above will endanger Republican
ascendancy in state and nation, while
with the sincere and effective pursuit
Of those objects state and national vic.
tory in 1900 will be achieved. "
