PLAN TO CONTROL
SALE OF CEMENT
DEALERS PROPOSE AN ARRANGE
MENT FOR ALLOTMENT OF
TERRITORY.

A gigantic scheme for combining
the interests of all the cement manu-
lecturers OF the country has been
practically adopted by the Associa-
don of American Cement manufacture
ers, now In session in Detroit All Of
the companies will be made partners
in combine which will allot territory
In which sales are to be made and es-
tablish prices for the product.
Promoters of the plan say that the
intent Is not TO raise prices. but 70
diminish competition. At the present
time, manufacturers sell their cement
over a wide area OF territory and have
to pay great deal of money In freight
charges. BY alloting territory, the
various firms will supply their local
market only and will make a larger
profit without increasing prices.

a speech here. w. j. Bryan charged
that the steel trust is paying the Re-
publican campaign expenses.
The charge came as the climax TO
n discussion of the campaign con-
tribution publicity and the trust ques'
tons.
Has anyone heard OF the Repub-
lican party prosecuting the steel
trust?" Mr. Bryan asked. "The steel
trust today is supporting the Republl-
can party and the leaders OF the Re-
publican party dare not publish before
election the amount OF money they
are collecting from the officials of the
steel trust to help in the campaign.
fThe way the Republican party reg
ulates the trusts Is TO allow the trusts
TO regulate themselves"
The matter of election bribery in
Delaware also came in for Mr.. Bryan's
attention. Statements are heard re-
garding the buying and selling of
votes in Delaware" he said. rs 1t
possible that any citizen of this state
values his suffrage so low that he
would sell It? That any citizen would
forget the responsibilities of his citi-
zenship? Pray that the time will
come when a man offers money to a
citizen for his vote may be whipped
out Of the state.
THE Democratic party has no mon
ey to buy votes II is working for the
welfare OF the people. The steel trust
is giving its financial support TO the
party who will look after its interests.
Should not the people give their votes
to the party which is caring for their
interests?"
