ton Sen. Geo. W. Somerville of
= Sleepy Eye was elected chairman and

secretary.
Mr.. Somerville upon taking the
chair made quite a speech. He re-
ferred to Roosevelt as the 'greatest OF
Americans'' and to Taft as that big,
brainy man who had made good IN
every undertaking. Trusts and re-
bates. he said, had been the great
curse of opportunity in this country,
making it impossible for the indivi-
dual and small corporation, to exist,
and the time had now arrived when
the people must choose between tine,
: Roosevelt policy of restraint for these
great evils, and progress, or disre-
gard of these policies, and retrogres-
sion.

speech J os. A. Eckstein moved the ap-
