Massachusetts Congressman Speaks
in Favor Of Recognition Of In
dustrial Unit

Washington, Aug. 9,-The trust
was not the deliberate creature of
man, but was the creature of the
development of industrial and com
petitive conditions, according to
Representative Gardner, of Massa-
chusetts, ranking minority member
of the House steel trust" investi-
eating committee. He addressed the
House tonight On his report.
He advocated federal license for
all concerns whose capital exceeded
fixed amount, and the creation Of
an interstate commission of in
dustry with regulatory power over
corporations and prices.
Gardner said he did not believe
in dissolution as remedy. He said
combinations of capital had their
place in the scheme Of things, but
that they should bbe made to be-
have.
What we need" said Gardner
with emphasis, "is good, drastic
recognition of the large Industrial
unit. He have fooled too long
with genteel dissolution.

mitteemen from more than forty states

interest and enthusiasm present At the
beginning Of the campaign.
IAN the proceedings Of the commit
tee were unanimoues and harmonious.
The chairman and Mr.. Wilson Will
designate members of the campaign
committee today. This campaign COM
mittee will be largely advisory, and the
active work will be done thru bureaus
handling the different divisions or Ia
Dor necessary in a campaign.
Mr.. McCombs impressed the COM
mittee with his earnestness and his de-
sire for harmony in the organization.
The main headquarters will probably
be established in New York, but there
will be a headquarters for the middle
west at Chicago, and probably western
headquarters somewhere on the coast.
Reports from all the states indicate
most complete unity Of action among
all democrats. Every committeeman
also reported numerous republicans
pledged to vote for Mr.. Wilson.

members Of the committee to wait up

the candidates will make any public

upon them.

to Discussing National Conventions.
Special to es-Republican.
Boone, July 1S.-The Hon, William
Jennings Bryan spoke at the cnautau-
qua last night in this city, to an audi
ence of 5000 people, and was cheered
to the echo many times. AS he en-
tered the great tent he was greeted
with a round of applause that made
him smile and bow his acknowledge
ments.
The speaker, in starting the lecture
of the evening. devoted half hour TO
the republican and democratic ma
tional conventions, as requests had
been made for this. and he gave out
in a most interesting manner some OF
the inside history of these great gath
erings He gave his reasons for not
supporting Clark, and said that he
would absolutely refuse to support any
man that got the nomination with the
aid of Tammany Hall. Mr. Bryan
told of his efforts to have Ollie James,
of Kentucky, made temporary chair
man and how Clark's own managers
had turned down James, who was a
Clark man. Bryan then told how he
came to introduce the famous Ryan
vi
| that it seemed that when he went to
Baltimore that the interests had the
convention by the throat, but that he
! was going to place the issue Sc square
y Up TO the individual delegates that
, they would have to take a decided
stand. and the folks at home" would
know just what way they had voted.
! This compelled the passing OF the res
olution.
| In an interview with the T.-R. CORE
spondent, Mr.. Bryan praised Senator
Kenyon He voted right on the Lori
mer question, and on all other import
ant questions that came up" said Mr..
Bryan.
At Ogden the party stopped for a
few minutes. and to a crowd of per-
haps 500, Brayn delivered a short ad-
dress and was wildly cheered.
