TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economies from combina.
ton" Do Not Materiaiize.
(Louls D. Brandeis in Golfers. :,

tLouis ID. Brandeis In Collier's.) !
Leaders OF the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo.
lies should be legalized, lest we lose
the efficiency Of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
IT 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 eff.
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 Is
can be learned definitely only by ex.
.perience. The unit of greatest eff.
cheney. is reached when the disadvan.
ages of size counterbalance the ad.
vantages. The unit of greatest eff.

THE DISTINCT JUDAH elllP
Editor OF Wahpeton Times:
understand that reports are
current in the District. first. that
was not nominated, at the June
Primary, and, second, that am
not. in fact, a candidate for the
Office of judge. The former prob
ably arises from a misunder-.
standing of the NON-PARTISIAN
feature of the primary law.
There were TWO candidates to
he nominated and only two can
didates ;hcnce BOTH were certain
of no 7ination and the names Of
beth will appear or the official
llNts. To settle this PROPOSE
lion. copy, here, the certificate
lived from the Secretary of the
State:
Bismarck, Sept. 5th, 1912.
Chas. Z. Wolfe, Wahpeton, North
Dakota.
Pursuant to the provisions Of
Chapter 100 of the laws of 1907,
and in accordance with the off,
rial statement of the State Board
of Canvassers now on file in this
Department you are hereby noti-
fed that, at the Primary Election
held on June Goth, 1912, you were
nominated to the Office of Judge
of the Fourth Judicial District as
non-partisian candidate, and
that your name will be placed up
on The official ballot as the candi-
date for said Office, to be voted up
On at the General Election to be
held on November 5th, 1912.
;SEAL) P. D.NORTON,
Secretary Of State.
AS TO my being candidate for
the office, a like misunderstand-
ing has arisen. Before the filing
of the petition which placed my
name on the Primary Ballot, I
was not candidate and said so
to everyone who asked me. But,
without solicitation on my part,
nearly 400 voters. almost on the
last day on which nominations
could be filed, presented to me

ing me to consent. that it be filed

nomination.

dates and two must he nom,;.atc.l
there was no need for any work
being done before The primary, |
and absolutely none was done.
Having consented to be nomi-
mated. | became and am an active
candidate for the office and res
pectfully ask The support of those
voters, irrespective of party, who
believe tina, am qualified and fit .
for the place.
do not believe that acampaign |
for the Judgcship ought to be !
made a political scramble. The
position sought ought to be held !
IN be too disniiied to warrant any |
such thing. The law has remov- !
ed it from all PARTISAN and fac
tional fights and given every man
a chance to express his free choi-
ce, entirely outside Of any politi-
cal organization. No political o.
sanization, as such, ought to have
to do with such cam
paign. The question to be set |
tied by the voters is solely one
of FITNESS of the MAN for the
PLACE.
As To my fitness, let any voter
who does not know me, person.
ally. ask any Judge of any Court
in the State, or any lawyer in the
or any County Officer in
Richland County, where l have
been States Attorney for six
years. If the report is good, then
I ask the support of the voters,
without regard to party affilia-
tons.
