What New Hampshire Men Want
Of Republicans in That State.
FIVE SPECIFIC DEMANDS.
free Passes, Excluding Railway Com
petition, Primary Election, Cam.
psign Collections aud Trusts.

Concord, ~ H.. Nov 2s.-United
States Senator William i. Chandler ex-
Governor Bus!el, and others, today H..
sued an address TO the Republicans Of
New Hampshire, inviting cooperation
In opposing what is termed the rail-
road powers In the state and the sup
pressing OF evils arising from Industrial
combines, and advocating and improved
election laws and other reforms.
The address IN part says;
The undersigned Republicans solicit
your cooperation in efforts within the
party to obtain;
u. The statutory prohibition OF free
passes on railroads
'2 The repeal Of the power Of the
Supreme court to decide that any steam
or electric railroad which It's promoters
desire 20 build Is unnecessary and hos
tile TO the public good.
3. y primaries law governing the
caucuses and conventions " the pollti-
cal parties.
4. The discontnuance OF the collec-
ton for alleged campaign purposes Of
large sums Of money from office hold
ers, the treasures and owners OF rail-
roads and other sources, and the promo
ton Of honest election methods
%. The suppression Of the evils arts
Ing from trusts"
Under the head Of trusts, the address
advocates the universal application In
the State Of the principle OF unresirlct-
ed competition which Is the life OF
trade and the basis Of all prosperity in
society, and the election Of members OF
legislature and Of Congress who will
enforce this principle.
The conventions will readily enough
denounce trusts and declare for COM
petition. The danger is that the cause
viii be betrayed by representatives and
senators In the State legislatures and
In the national Congress so that extra
ordinary pains must be taken by the
people TO stand against such betrayal.
The appeal concludes;
The undersigned believe the neglect
by Republicans to pussue earnestly and
In good faith the five objects named
above. will endanger Republican as
cendancy IN the State and nation, while
By the sincere and effective pursuit Of
those objects State ana national vic
tory In 1900 viii be achieved"
