few over 100 persons had registered
up to the closing of the office of City

evening out of possibly 1000 or more
citizens eligible to vote if they were
enrolled.
The remaining two days in which
registration may be made promise to be

off such matters until the last minute
In addition an effort will be made by

The fact that a registrar is likely to
call at the home or office of one en-

gistered from going to the city hall to-
day and making certain that his or

SHERMAN ACT
ADEQUATE TO
FIGHT TRUSTS
The Administration Decides
Upon Policy With Regard
to Big Combines Which
Means No DissOlutiOnS
During Wilson's Term

Especial to Inc RepuDuCdnJ
WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept IS. ~
Information coming from authoritative
administration sources indicates that
tbe democratic leaders, including the
president, who have been floundering
around for several months in a guam
dairy as to what to do on the great
trust problem, are at last settling
down to agreement upon policy, and
this policy, it appears, is nothing
more nor less than continuance of
the line of activity pursued throughout
the Taft administration. According to
administration information, Attorney
General McReynolds believes that the
Sherman law is ample to cover all
combinations in restraint of trade, and
he is in favor, therefore, Of leaving it
unamended and of continuing prOsecu-
tions under the law as it stands. 1t
is understood in administration circles
that the attorney general is convinced
that the Sherman Act may be applied
in such away as to bring about COM
plete and effective dissolution of the
wicked trusts In other words, Mr..
McReynolds thinks he has an improve
ment on the Wickersham scheme of
dissolution, which in the tobacco and
oil cases proved so entirely satisfac-
tory to the public. The informa ton
now coming from administration
sources is that President Wilson, with
out expressing an opinion one way or
the other as to Mr.. McReynolds' new
theory, has agreed to give the Attorney
General time in which to try out his
scheme
If this policy is followed out it means
of course that nothing will be done
with the trust problem during the Will
son administration. With the utmost
speed, and with fortune faVoring him
at every turn. Mr.. McReynolds cannot
hope to reach final judgment in the su-
preme court and see its decree of dis
solution effectively operative in any
important trust case during his admin
istration- And yet the trust problem is
the most menacing and important of all
that demands solution by the states
men of today. 1t touches every man,
woman and child in the country more
closely than any other problem 1t
has it's insisteDt and persistent fin
ger in almost every. item that enters
into the cost of living 1t has been
growing in Importance for the last 20
years and public recognition of its
growing importance has increased as
steadily. Clearer evidence of the per-
plexity of the democratic leaders from
the president down, over the solution
of this problem could hardly be given
than in this newly reported determn-
alton to attempt nothing original or
constructive, but merely to follow
course of procedure which experience
has already proved fruitless.
