time is as hard to talk about as it isl
to combat" he said. "The work
started by me is only the beginning oil
a crusade which l am confident will bel
carried on until every law-violatingI
combine in the United States will bel
made to either dissolve or go out of
business entirely.
"Before left Washington to go on
this trip, 1 had long conversation
with Mr.. McReynolds, my successor in
office, and he assured me that the work
started by me would be taken up by
him Immediately. Mr.. McReynolds has
worked for me many times and / know
that he is the proper man for the Of
fee, and if any one can serve the peo-
pie. he can. I think Mr.. Wilson made
very good choice; in fact, the best
chOlce ne could nave maze.
The Targets.
"The Steel Trust will be the first to
be taken up by Mr. McReynolds, and
| then, following in order, will be tine
Tobacco Trust, the Harvester Trust,
and the Ice Trust. Along with these
he will have the Southern Pacitic-Union
Pacific Railroad fight to bring to a
! happy conclusion, so you see his office
is pretty well crowded with work for
start.
"The railroad situation is one of the
hardest to solve on account of the diff
ferences between the national railroad
commission and the California railroad
commission. Just prior to my leaving
office, l was asked for my opinion on
the matter and within n week / gave it
to the national railroad commission.
My plan was then passed along and
acted upon. Almost Immediately the
commission in California began to
groan and fight back, thinking that L
was i'll the wrong.
"Tho people of California, who have
been under the pressure of the railroad
company for many years, took sides
with the commission and fought against
me and the national commission. +"
Only Vehicle.
In explaining the position of the Re
publican party, Mr.. Wickersham said
that the new Progressive party, start
ed by Colonel Roosevelt, was only a
vehicle to carry him over the nomina-
ton.
"The Republican party is an old and
tried institution, and although the
present.day movement toward a greater
and, might say, more radical de-
mocTaey, may change in some way the
party platform, the party itself and its
principles will endure said Mr.. Wick
ersham. "Thc movement toward the
so-called Progressive party, which was
started by Mr.. Roosevelt, is, believe,
temporary. left Washington too early
to see just how things were going to
work out under the new administra-
tionn
"My wife and ! planned this trip
when I first went into office. We had
been all over Europe and had heard
so much Of the Islands Of the Pacific,
we decided 20 spend our vacation on
this side Of the globe. From here We
will 90 TO Japan and China. From
there we win take the northern over
