After Mr.. Finn had had his talk with

FOR VOTES IN MARYLA AND
| Ohio Governor to Invade State
Thursday on Speak
ing Trip.

Fresh from his whirlwind tour of
Texas. Gov Judson Harmon will invade
Maryland Thursday, according to plans
made by Lieut.. Gov. Nichols of Ohio,
who is in Washington today Mr.
Nichols is here to consult local demo-
cratic leaders regarding the outlook
for Harmon delegation from the Dis
trict to the Baltimore convention.
The fight in Maryland from now on
will be the Iveliest that state has
seen in years Gov. Harmon's friends
say there is increased sentiment in
his favor. In view of this and of the
many demands for Gov. Harmon's pres
ence. his managers decided on the tour.
He will leave Columbus Wednesday
evening and will reach western Mary

He probably will speak in Cumberland.
Hagerstown and Frederick. Arriving
in Baltimore, he will be met by the
members of the Harmon Democratic
League of Maryland. and after dinner
will speak at Lyric Hall.
Speaking of Gov. Harmon's prospects,
Lieut.. Gov Nichols today said:
while we do not claim that we will
have a majority of the delegates on

Harmon to be nominated. BY the time
the convention meets 1t will be clear
that he is the logical candidate. and
the one with whom the party Is GER
tain to win"

Claims of Clark Managers.

Clark headquarters gives out the fol-
lowing:
Speaker Clark will have at least a
portion of the delegation from Della ware.
John f. Salisbury of Dover, a cousin of
Willard salisbury. democratic national
committeeman from Delaware, the man.
ager OF the campaign for Gov. Wilson,
wired today that Kent county is safe
for the Speaker by a good majority.
THE advices received from Iowa bear
out the claim that Speaker Clark will
undoubtedly control the Iowa state con-
vention. Although the convention win
not meet until May 16, the counties that
have thus far acted give the Speaker an
overwhelming majority of the delegates.
Mr.. Clark already has more than 600
delegates out of a total of ,O32, and there
are several counties yet to act in which
he will. without doubt. get large ma
jority of the votes.
''The reports from Massachusetts,, where
the primaries will be held Tuesday. con-
tinue to be assuring. The Speaker has
been gaining ground every day since the
campaign began. and Representative
Curley. who is prominent in Mr.. Clark 8
campaign In the Bay state, believes that
the majority will exceed his former estf-
mate of 10000. The managers OF Gov.
Wilson's campaign have given up hope
that the New Jersey executive will get
any of the delegates from Massachusetts,
according to advices received at the Clark
headquarters.
1.-THE two new states of New Mexico
and Arizona are practically certain to in
struct their delegates for Speaker Clark.
In New Mexico every county that has
held q convention has instructed it's dele

Catechises Roosevelt on Trusts.

Director Mckinley of the Taft bureau
has drawn up few questions he would
like Col. Roosevelt to answer. Here
they are:
IF trusts are to be disintegrated and
competition restored in their respective
industries, would that meet with Roose-
velt's approval?
Would the same result meet his ap-
prevail as to the steel trust? AS to the
harvester trust? AS to the sugar trust?
Does he, in fact, desire the disinte-
grafton of any trust? If not, on what
score does he criticise the administration
for it's failure to do what he does not
wish done? He refers to Supreme Court
decisions, declaring that the trusts are
Illegal and must be disintegrated. Does
he favor the enactment of a law supple
menting the Sherman antitrust law SO
that the disintegration may not only be
facilitated. but made more specific? That
is the purpose of the La Toilette bill, the
Cummins bill and the John Sharp Will
liams bill Which of them does he favor?
He speaks of overcapitalizatio ton and
other corporate evils, and seems TO concede
what is now a recognized fact, that the
evasion of the Sherman law Is due to
the abuse of corporate powers sanctioned
by the laws of certain corporation
states.
Does he favor law that will require
specific conditions of organization. man.
agement and governing laws of all state
created corporations engaged In interstate
commerce? That is the object OF the
Cummins bill and the Williams bill
Which of them does he favor?
1.-THE holding company. interlocking di-
rectors, the control by common stock
holders of competing corporations, and
watered stock are each in their nature
special privileges granted by the states,
enabling their beneficiaries to evade the
law.
..Mr. Roosevelt opposes special privi-
leges Does he favor the enactment Of a
law that will compel the disintegrat. on
of the trusts by destroying the special
privileges on which they rest?"
