PRAISES
CANDIDATE
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Strong
praise of Senator LaFollette ass a
trust buster" and inferentially,
as a candidate for the presidency,
was voiced here today by Louis
d. Brandeis of Boston.
1.-The trust problem" said Bran
deis, sis the greatest problem be-
fore the American people today
and LaFollette knows 1t by heart.
He has never theorized about II,
but always by tremendous work
and the aid of a marvellous mem
ory, has secured cold facts about
the trust evils. He has dug to
bedrock in a cold, analytical and
businesslike way, and has discov-
cred the truth about the trusts.
TRUSTS don't pay. Great COM
binations are not economically eff
ficient.
The steel trust has been so inef-
ficient that It has not. even been
able to improve the quality of its
rails. Even its steel wire has
grown poorer. These are the sort
of facts LaFollette stands for. He
never talks in generalities."
Senator LaFollette and Theo-
dore Roosevelt are working In
harmony to control the next re-
publican national convention. Be
tween them they have enough
progressive delegates to write the
platform and name the candidate.
Senator LaFollette Is and will re-
main the candidate. Roosevelt's
position has been announced too
often to need repetition. Roose-
welt favors LaFollette and is not
himself a candidate. But he de-
clines to eliminate himself as a
political factor.
''The only development that
now appears logical is formal
announcement from the White
House that President Taft has
decided not to make the fight for
reelection.

in Milwaukee because this city is
farther away from the source of
supplies, the Milwaukee figures
would indicate that there must be
in the neighborhood of $2S profit
on the average on every telephone
in the city.
$500, 900 PROFITS
There must be near $1,000
phones in use in this city, so IL
these figures are correct the Bell
monopoly is in position to pull
about 100000 profit out of Ia
coma every. year.
Evidently it could afford to kill
off competition by Investing a

FORCE TAFT TO
RECONSIDER

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. g.
President Taft took formal cog
nizance of the protests against the
appointment of William G. Hook
of Kansas City to be associate JUS
tice of the United States supreme
court. The president told Senator
Curtis of Kansas, Hooks sponsor,
that he is now considering the
name of Justice Swayze of the su-
preme court. of New Jersey for the
vacancy. His statement is taken
to indicate that the president, aft
er intimating that he had decided
on Hook, was forced to reconsid-
er in view of the fact that the
progressives had planned to break
all senate precedents and hold up
the nomination.
