SUGAR TRUST POLITICS.
Close Relations of Wall Street and the

(New York Letter In Los Angeles Times,
When New York State was being got
into line for Judge Parker, Havemeyer
put on guard for Parker one of his own
men, Cord Meyer by name. Cord Meyer
is the sugar trusts representative in
Democratic councils. The Republican
party is able to get along without having
a sugar trust representative in its coun-
ellis, but IL Democrats come into power.
it will be Cord Meyers happy duty TO
make sugar stock go up and down OH the
New York Stock Exchange and to let
1t be known to anxious statesmen when
it is going up and when il is going down.
Do the people out West know that in
New York. when the Democrats desire to
carry an election, they 20 out and tell
the district leaders that certain stock
on the New York Stock Exchange, say
Manhattan Elevated, will go up $I5 per
share in case of Democratic success?
That is what they do. and it does go up,

cratic party is to Wall street in New
