DODGING THE MAIN ISSUE.
New York Republicans Were Afraid
to Denounce Illegal Trust and
Combinations.

The republican state convention, OF
New York, had the courage of its cow
ardice. Not daring to define its posi-
tion toward trusts and %monopolies, it
lodged the main issue of the CAM
paign. The only sentence in it's long
platform that can be even supposed to
refer to this question is the com
mendation of Theodore Roosevelt for
the fearlessness and good judgment
with which he entered upon the solu-
ton of problems of social economy and
government"
"In the name of the prophet, figs!"
What does social economy and gov.
eminent" mean in a political plat
form? 1t is not even a "glittering
generality" 1t is a dull and point
less p%latitude.
In a convention dominated by Gov.
Odeil--who has been repeatedly de.
nounced as mercenary and corrupt by
that able and %outspoken republican
organ, the Sun-and in which Sena-
tors Platt and Depew both as thor
oughgoing corporation men'as can be
found in the state, were prominent fig
ures, no vigorous denunciation of
combinations in restraint of trade"
was to have been expected. But that
a convention in New York met to elect
delegates and direct" them to "use all
honorable means to bring about his
nomination." should coolly ignore, not
merely the main issue in the cam
paign, but the greatest achievement of
MI. Roosevelt's administration, is al
most incredible.
The New York World justly says
that If there is any act of the presi.
dent that has made him more friends
among the people, or more enemies in
Wall street than his action against the
Northern Securities merger, nobody
knows what it Is. And yet within less
than a month of the decision of the
supreme court sustaining the anti
trust law, and thus vi~ndicating the
action of the president under it, the
state convention of his own party, in
his own state, makes no mention of
this most creditable achievement, and
has not one word to say as to other
trusts and %monopolies that Cypress

This omission is incomprehensible
