In convention yesterday adopted 8
nlstform intended to catch votes which
contains this plank: 1--WE are OPP
posed to all trusts or combinations OF
capital whose purpose or effort is to re-
strict business or control prices. And
we especially denounce those whose
tendency it is to increase the cost OF
living and the necessaries of life. We
favor legislation to prevent such
abuses" But the day before. In the
same convention, Senator Beverage,
az Chairman, boldly and defsntly de-
Tended trusts and combines, for which
be was loudly spplauded. He held that
the trusts are here, they are modern
institution, aud instead OF being hound
ed they should be encouraged az factors
10 "our prosperity" Only when they
fagrantly transgress would he have
them interiered with, and then the In
reference must be gentle and consid'
crate. This is indeed pretty doctrine
to preach to a people so woeiully trust
ridden and when the beef trust, the ice
trust, the steel trust and the great rail-
road mergers are invading the peoples
rights and conspiring to Cypress the
public. The menace OF disturbance
through the euccsss Of the demsgogue's
