MEN SIGN PETITION OF
EQUAL SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
Plea Will Form Basis of New
Argument Before LegisIa-
ture for Amendment

OAKLAND, Dec. 12.-The Equal Suf-
frage amendment league has COM
menced a canvass for signatures of
men prominent in the community to a
petition urging the legislature TO sub
nit woman's suffrage amendment to
the state constitution at the next gen
eral election. The league has made the
point that the petitions have been pre-
pared by men and will be signed exclu-
siVely by men. This will be used as an
argument that there is a sentiment
among the men Of the state in favor of
equal suffrage. Heretofore the move
ment. in so far as petitions were con-
cerned, has been confined to women.

California win get the appointment

TWO names have been discussed with
any degree Of seriousness. These are
Senator Fulton Of Oregon and P. A.
Bsllinger Of Washington. who for

that he did in the land Office. In case

James NJ. Beck replied to the attor-

Bonaparte was represented as saving
''the tendency toward combinat ton ex-
lists in every civilized country and ex-
actly in proportion to its civilization .
Bonaparte interrupted with protest
that he was misquoted.
AS Beck proceeded he again quoted
the attorney general as having said
emphatically:
No Legislation in restraint of COM
bination is desirable
Bonaparte then said he had some
time ago entertained similar ideas. but
he had since been convinced that it
was a choice between such legislation
and revolution and he believed that
the American people would choose
wisely in legislation to regulate the
great combinations of commerce.

Statutes Against Restraint Of
Trade Declared Answer to
Popular Demand

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-Replying to
the toast ''The Bar of the Country and
the Cause of Federal Justice" Attor-
ney General Bonaparte, speaking at the
banquet of the Pennsylvania society
of New York, tonight analyzed the so
called antitrust law and made sug-
gestions for its betterment.
After declaring that Americans "are
a judge ruled people the attorney
general reviewed the conditions MAX
ing necessary the antitrust laws
within the memory of this genera
,tion." said he the American people
slowly awoke to a consciousness. dim
and confused at first, but steadily
growing clearer, that all Americans
did not then find fair field, did not
get square deal, as they tried to
gain wealth,

LIBERTIES WE'RE ENDANcEREn

In short, it was made plain to thou
sands of Americans that their CONNER
cial liberties were in danger
The answer of our congress had
been given in the antitrust laws. the
origin of these laws is reflected in their
spirit and purpose; they voice no out
burst of wrath and envy from the have
nots against the haves. but embody. a
plea of the havenots or the havelittles
that the havealots let them, too, be-
come havealots if they can
Their prohibitions and penalties are
not against the manufacturer or the
trader doing more business himself. but
against his making others do less: they
forbid schemes in restraint of trade.
not schemes in furtherance of trade.
They condemn monopoly but the mere
fact that one man or one corporation
does all the business which is done
does not create monopoly; unless he
or it shall shut out others from that
business, others who could and would
otherwise engage in it. no monopoly
exists"

TROUBLE CAUSED BY TRUSTS

The trouble was not that some
Americans had grown very. very rich;
no one really blames them for that; the
grievance lay in that these very rich
men could. and that some of them did,
make it harder than nature and fortune
had made it for poor men who wanted
to grow rich, to grow rich in fact, just
as they themselves had grown rich.
This free American citizen was told
he must get out of business because the
trust wanted his trade; that free
American citizens who would buy of
another was told his neighbor dared
not sell him because the trust forbade.
