ALDRICH-CANNON
REPLY EXPECTED
Many Wonder II Cunlmins ChaI-
Ienge viii Be Accepted.
OTHER POINTS BESIDE TARIFF

lowan In His Chicago Speech DISGUISE
Idea of Central Bank, Railroad Regl
lation and the Trusts-tiis Remark
Addressed Directly to the Leader Q
the Senate and the Speaker-Mor
etary Plan Still In Embryo.
Those who heard the address o
Senator A. B. Cummins at Chicag
and the thousands who have read tn
speech are wondering whether a repl
will come from Senator N. w. Aldric7
or Speaker Cannon. 1t Is agreed tina
the Iowan's remarks certainly wer
straight from the shoulder and 1t i
agreed that in them a challenge wa
hurled directly into the teeth Of Al
drich and Cannon.
Summarized, the main points mad
by Cummins were:
Tariff-The act recently passed
by congress was not a fulfilment
of the party PLATFORM" it would
be ''the extreme of folly" to at
tempt to pass another comprehen-
sive bill in the near future, but
instead the insurgents will fight
to strengthen the campaign for
permanent. dignified and indie
pendent tariff commission"
schedules should be taken up for
revision one by one as the neces-
sary information Is obtained.
currency-The idea of a central
bank is "intolerable" because it
would subject the volume of the
currency to the power Of few
men who might be selfishly inter-
ested in expanding or reducing
it." the creation of a financial
institution, the control and man
agement of which might become
political issue, should also be
avoided.
Railroad ReguIation--The inter
state commerce act should be
amended so as to apply in the mat
ter of capitalization Of railway
companies; it is absurd to at
tempt to regulate rates" until it
is determined upon what capital
the railways can lawfully demand
a reward; all rates over which
congress has Jurisdiction should
be reviewed as parts of one great,
uniform system.
Competition-The antitrust law
is miserable failure;;" when
competition is destroyed the gov
eminent will fall; the law should
be revised to render unlawful any
concentration. Of capital that will
have the effect Of destroying or
impairing competition; gradu-
ated, tax should be imposed that
will make it Improbable so to
enlarge business that it will
have monopoly in its own field.
During his speech Cummins said:
"The day has come for an inquiry
into the qualifications of Republican
am willing to accept an arbiter, but
it will not be Aldrich, twill not be
Payne, it will not be Cannon.
ut will not avail Mr.. Cannon and his
associates anything to declare that we
have Joined hands with the Democratic
party, for every intelligent man knows
that this is simply an appeal to a blind
passion and a senseless prejudice.
"The struggle of the insurgents will
be within the lines, but they will moi
hide the truth as they see it, for the,
know that if the Republican party is
to be permanently successful it mus'
be faithful to it's platforms and musi
meet courageously and justly the new
age OF. commerce and business.
ct cannot any longer be progressiy
in its platform and stand pat in its con
gress."
