platform on this subject.
MI. Wilson has been governor Of

the Baltimore platform really offers
any hope for the trust solution why
during these two years has nothing
been done by New jersey under Mr.
Wilson's lead for regulation of the
trusts?

part of our program is to give to the
people themselves direct control over
their own government. When the peO-
