of the results obtained by the Repub-

cution Of the sugar trust. According
to the assertions Of Mr. Dix. the 81

was insignificant when compared to
the 81 900, 900 claimed by the govern
ment to be due.
Mr. Stimson says he did not prose-
cute the directors of the Sugar Trust
because no complaint involving them
was brought to his attention.
Mr.. StimsOn added:
Il think my bias i'm favor of the
Sugar Trust. which Mr.. Dix intimates,
becomes ludicrous in the light of the
fact that most of my time the last
four years has been consumed in
prosecuting. convicting and Furnishing
the Sugar Trust and it's officials. Just
think of the man whose only public
record we really know anything about
is that as candidate he says he be-
lieves in a downward revision of the
tariff, but as wallpaper manufacture
