WILSON'S CHANCES
Harper's Weekly Quits Booming
New Jersey Governa.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE current
number of Harper's Weekly contains
the following editorial announcement:
ITO our readers: We make the fol
lowing reply to many inquiries from
readers of Harper's Weekly: -
The name of Woodrow Wilson as
our candidate for president was taken
down from the head of these columns
in response to a statement made to us
directly by Governor Wilson to the eff
feet that our support was affecting his
candidacy injuriously. -
1.-THE only course left open to us in
simple fairness to Mr. Wilson, no less
than in consideration Of our own self
respect, was to cease to advocate his
nomination.
I'VE make this explanation with
great reluctance and the deepest re-
greet. But we cannot escape the con
clusion that the very considerable
number of our readers who have CO
operated earnestly and Loyalty in ad
vancing movement which was in
augurated solely in the hope of render
ing high public service are clearly
entitled to this information"

FILE MINNESOTA
RATE CASE BRIEF
Attorneys Lay Large 0ocunenl
Before Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 17-Probably the
largest brief ever filed with the SUI
preme court of the United States was
required by. former Attorney Genera!
Simpson of Minnesota and his asso
ciates in telling the court in printed
form their sides the famous Minneso
Ia rate cases.
The case will come up for oral argu.
nent along with rate cases from half
a dozen other states on Feb. 10.
Associated with Attorney General
Simpson were Lyndon A. Smith, now
attorney general; Edward T. Young
and Thomas D. O'Brien.
1t was ,contended that strangulation
of the states power to regulate in.
trastate business would not extend the
federal power to cover interstate com
merce and that IL the decision of the
Minnesota federal court annulling Min
nesota state rates stands interstate
commerce must go unregulated.
It was argued that the state rates
would not be confiscatOry of the rail
road property If the income was fig
ured on the property the railroads
had contributed to the public service
or in the money invested therein or
what the facilities were worth.
Figuring on the basis of what it
would cost to acquire the rights of
way and build new roads was de-
nounced as unfair. The old rates en-
forced by the railroads would be con-
fscatory if figured on such an i'm
proper basis, it was argued.
