WHY NOT ELECT
WOODROW / WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub-
Iican Paper, Asks Its Read
ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
Says the Tariff Has Been Too High
for a Generation, and Must Be Lew,
cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential in,
dependent Republican newspa per. pro-
pounds this question to Repu bicans:
/ Why not Wilson?
This question is addressed particu-
larly to Republicans
Governor Wilson suits, the Demo.
Gratis down to the ground. suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
a large part OF the Republicans as
we'll?
Why not Wilson,?
Governor Wilson is a thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only in the
accident Of, birth, but in his every
ideal, impulse and principle That
should be the first requirement of ev-
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson Is tried and
trustworthy executive His brilliant
record as governor OF New Jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man. He Is an emf
nrntly HONORABLE man. He has digni-
fed every place which he has held
He has performed splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out Of the riot of mudslinging
with which Roosevelt began it.
I'm every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson is equipped to be
any mans president. without regard
to whether that man is Democrat or
a Republican. What, then, Of his po-
litical qualifications?
Governor Wilson is, and always has
been. a sensible Democrat, but he is
not and never has been a silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for honesty
and efficiency in federal admin stra-
tion. So do all save those who pl oft
by graft and ineficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curbing of trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt
Governor Wilson stands for q
prompt and steady downward revision
OF the tariff. So do nine-tenths Of the
people Of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes in a more
radical tariff revision than do a large
number OF the rank and file OF Re-
publicans But Governor Wilson is
the only candidate who II elected will
permit the revision of the tariff at ali.
THE tariff has been to high for a
generation. Is It not better to take a
chance at getting it too low-according
to Republican Standardization to let
the known frauds Of the present re-
gime continue for another four years
to rob the public? --
why not Wilson? He will give an
honest, a dignified, capable admins
tration. He will respect the constitu-
ton. He will see that the tariff is re.
vised downward. He will curb trusts.
He will serve the people.
why not Wilson,"

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economics from cembIns,
tion" Do Not MaterIaiixe.
Louis d. Brandeis in Collier,s.,

(Louis d. Brandeis In Collier's.)
Leaders Of the new Third Term)
party argue that industrial monops-
lies should be legalized. lest we lose
the efficiency Of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that IN
America there Is no line of business
In which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated In order
to attain the size of greatest en-
cheney. For while a business may be
too small to be efficient. efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size 10
can be learned definitely only by ex-
pertence. The unit Of greatest en-
cheney Is reached when the disadvan-
tages Of size counterbalance the ad-
vantages. The unit of greatest en-.
cheney Is exceeded when the disad.
vantages Of size outweigh the advan-
tages. TIE history Of American trusts
makes this clear That history shows:
Frst-No conspicuous American
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters prospectuses:
but they have never been a compell
Ing motive in the formation OF any
trust. On the contrary. the purpose Of
combining has often been to curb Ell.
cheney or even to preserve incfd.
cheney, thus frustrating the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.
Second-No conspicuously profita-
BILE trust owes its profits largely to
superior efficiency. Some trusts have
been very efficient, as have some In.
dependent concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control of the market
through the power Of monopoly to fx
prices-through this exercise OF tbs
taxing power.
Third-No conspicuous trust kas
been efficient enough to maintain losz
as against the independents It's prs-
portion of the business Of the country
without continuing to buy up. from
time to time, It's successful compet-
tors.
