In such a manner that it can be made
to apply only to such combinations as
are clearly acting in restraint of trade
or tending towards monopoly. Over
capitalization of corporations will be
condemned.
Against Asiatic immigration.
A strong and specific declaration
will also be made In favor Of the re
strlction of Asiatic immigration.
