upon by the committee In the nature of a
recommendation TO the convention
While In my opinion o majority OF the
delegates 10 tha convention have been
heartily IN favor OF making a change In
that regard, the difficulty has been that
they did not desire to abandon the con-
gressional district as a unit OF represen-
tation. The southern districts have rep
resentatlon In congress- according TO pop
ulation, including the negroes Then the
negroes are disfr8nchised. The natural
result Is that IN many OF the southern
districts there arc very few Republican
votes, and yet. OF course they have the
delegates. Now | am working on a plan
that | am going to submit to the com
mIttce which will change the basis Of
representation and Will retain the con-
gressional district as the unit"

Supreme Court DEGREES.

Replying TO the statement that the de-
crees of the supreme court in the Stan
dard OIL and American Tobacco company
cases were really of benefit to those trusts
and that the Taft administration prose-
cution OF them had been Intellectual be-
cause it has gone up and the stock OF
both companies has gone up, President
Taft told why he believed these resulted
from natural economic causes,
They say oil has gone up and they
say the stock OF these constituent COM
panies has gone up. said Mr.. Taft.
1T is true that they have gone up, and
why? Because in the dissolution the
facts had to come out and the stock
holders who We're holding stock down
low had TO reveal 10 the public gener-
ally that they had a great deal more
money In these companies than the pub
lie had known Secondly, they say that
oil has gone up. Well crude oil has
gone up. too. and why? Because the
Standard OIL company as it was could
control the price of crude oil and they
kept IL down. i know what I am talk
Ing about, because ] had to approve con-
tracts down In the Indian Territory with
respect to oil. The price went down so
that we did not know what to do with
these Indian lands. Now because com
petition has come about, crude oil has
gone up and the price of oil generally
has gone up.
