Columbus. O., June 21-Former
Attorney General Monnett, republi-
can. who was trust fighter while in
office, was asked his opinion of the
Philadelphia platform and said:
We are long on platform, but
fear the people will recognize that
we are short on performance. We
have an attorney general from New
Jersey, Standard Oh trust attor-
ney at the court OF st. James. We
have seventy-six United States dis
trict attorneys, but in the last four
years 700 trusts have been torned.
and not single new case has been
begun against trusts, with the single
exception OF the fight OF Col. W. E.
Bundy, United States district attor-
ney at Cincinnati, who undertook to
make an example OF a few coal bar
ons, butIas am Informed, received
telegraphic orders from the United
States attorney-general to disist.
"The declaration against trusts
will certainly fall flat in Ohio, where
Hama and other leaders prevented
the legislature from granting the re-
lief sought by the Russell bill. Are
we in::favor OF what the platform de-
clares. when we have for four years
used all our influence to take away
from the courts the power to punish
trusts and to prevent antitrust leg
islation? Why was not the platform
adopted as Senator Hanna advo-
Gated in Ohio last year, when he
said he was in favor OF trusts?''
