nounced the trusts he was heartily ap-
pIauded by groups of the General Electric
Company's employees. This is the largest
industry in Schenectady.
Mr. Bryan said: My friends, save your
hurrahing until election night. l have
only a few minutes here and I want to
use them all. There is not time for an
extended argument, but / can suggest
few things for you to think about. am
glad that I live in a country where the
parties must submit their platform and
candidates TO the voters. The voters con-
troll all legislation. Our form of govern
ment is perfect in theory and might be
perfect in practice if the voters were only
perfect.
There is one question in this campaign
which was an issue in the last campaign
but this time it is an issue TO a much
greater extent than before, and that is
the trust question. II the Republicans ask
you why we insist upon this issue, tell
them it is because they have forced the
question upon us.
IF the Republicans had destroyed the
trusts in the last four years, We wouldn t
have to meet the issue now. The Repub-
lican promise to curb the trusts and de-
wise and carry out immediate legislation
has not been fulfilled. That there are
trusts is apparent to everyone in the
country except Mr.. Hanna.
You have a large Iaboring class here
and a large student class 1 ask the la
boring class if they think it is good to
have a great industry dominated by one
man. Is it wise to have your neighbor
your absolute master? The man employed
in an industry controlled by one man must
submit to him, because he has nowhere
else TO turn"
