The trusts and monopolies
have no fear of the Republican
party doing anything to curtail
the power of the trusts or to
keep them from robbing the
people. 1t is to be expected
that an antitrust plank will be
put in the Republican platform
but it will be put there to catch
votes only. If our Republican
friends desire to do anything to
rid America of trust rule now is
their time, because they have
