form. 1t met again at o'clock.
Republicans Score Tarin.
The republican platform. as
adopted by the committee, praises
LaFollette and the Wisconsin pro-
gressives and declares the Payne
Aldrich tariff law does not fulfill
the party pledges. The present tar

that laws against the trusts should not
be changed until the people have re-
gained control of the government" de-
clares the operation Of the antitrust

On trust laws the republican plat
form says: THE operation of federal

unjust inequalities. Laws have been
by most dangerous and
powerful monopolies and trusts which,
control OF banks, the money
and the credit of the country centered
in Wall street, control natural re-
sources, the food and clothing and the
highways OF the nation. This money
power in defiance OF law, has crushed
and has built up financial
in the interest of specuia,
tors and against the interests of pro.
ducers, wage-earners and consumers
Unions Suppressed.
The plank further declares the laws
have been used to suppress unions
and cooperative efforts of wage-earn-
ers and farmers in their struggle TO
protect the value of products of their
abor against moneyed monopolies."
and declares in favor OF such separate
