very briefly state my position upon
this subject one to which have de-
voted a great many years of study.
/ was counsel for the government in
the cases against the Paper Trust, the
Standard Oil Trust and the Union Pa
ciic-Southern Pacific merger. In the
Standard Oil case the power of the
government to regulate large industrial
corporations or combinations engaged
in interstate commerce was definitely
established. The abuses then prac-
ticed, including unfair and oppressive
methods of competition, the driving
out and crushing of competitors, and
like abuses, were declared illegal; and
agreements fixing prices, limiting out
put and sitting competition we're de-
clared unlawful and we're enjoined.
Not only this, but all the defendant
Standard Oil Companies, their officers,
agents and individual defendants
(being the directors and principal
stockholders) were enjoined from in
future agreeing on prices of petroleum
and its products, from agreeing on the
terms Of purchase or sale or rates of
transportation or the quantity to be
sold, transported or manufactured, or
agreeing not to compete; and they
we're enjoined from entering into or
performing any like combination or
conspiracy which would be to restrain
commerce among states in petroleum
and it's products.
If there are any agreements today
between the various Standard Oil Com
panies and individuals who were par
ties to that case, or any two of them,
fixing prices, limiting output or agree
ing not to compete, they are in viola
ton of that decree and the parties can
be punished; and if there are any such
agreements between Independent con-
Germs and the Standard Oil Companies,
the government can prosecute the
parties.
l have always vigorously advocated
that congress should provide for a
system of federal license to large cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce, on condition that they obey
the law, not enter into agreements fix
ing prices, limiting output or eliminat-
ing competition, and if they violate
the terms Of their license, provide for
revoking it. This, with the reasonable
supervision of the Trade Commission,
would, believe, not only protect cor
porations engaged in legitimate bust
ness, but constantly aid in preventing
agreements raising prices, or other
conduct injurious to the public.

Encourage the construction of a mer-

tant and an unreasonable tax on our

In foreign relations, demand and en-
force with firmness our rights against

ions, the products of our farms, labor
and other industries and the develop
ment Of our natural resources;

Protect and encourage agriculture,

I should consider it the highest
honor to be possessed of the conf
dence of this people and to be asso-
ciated with Minnesota's distinguished
senior senator, Honorable Knute Mel
son, who in this great crisis is stand
ing squarely for American rights and
the national honor, and who is serving
the people with such conspicuous
ability.
AS we are today facing the shadows
of this great European conflict, the
first and paramount duty of the Ameri-
can people is to make immediate and
thorough preparation to defend the
country, maintain our rights and pre-,
serve our institutions. No other issue
is of such SURPRISING Importance.
There is only one way to do it, and
that is to Immediately take steps to
procure an efficient and adequate army
and navy and to husband our resources
and finances, SO that our position will
be respected by foreign countries, and
thus insure protection to our people.
This does not mean war; it is the
only way to peace. A weak and IN
protected country invites attack.
1t is unnecessary to say that our
people do not wish war; nor are we
seeking conquest. Not even those pos
sessed of the~most restless ambition
could wish to bring upon this country
the horrors of modern war; but we
cannot sit meekly by and close our
eyes to the history of all nations. Two
years ago war seemed as remote as
at any time since history has recorded
the doings of men. There was no ade
quate cause, social political or indus
trial, for such war;

the principles and policies of that
party. / am, however, unwilling to
place the party above the country, or
party fealty above the demands of
citizenship. The principles and poll
cies of the Republican Party have met
the demands of the people in the hour
of national peril and in times of the
greatest prosperity and expansion.
Under the guidance and control of that
party have been instituted and carried
out the greatest constructive work,
internal improvements, industrial de-
velopr7en and reforms.
l believe in the spirit and the prin-
ciples of true democracy; in the full
est opportunity for the peon'e to have
a voice by vote in the aff"irs of gov
eminent, and that one of the first du-
ties of craftsmanship is to jealousy
guard the principles on which consti-
tutional representative democracy is
founded.
We should strive for laws in the
interest of social justice, and higher
state of civilization; laws prohibiting
child labor, which is cruel, inhuman
and tends to degenerate the race; laws
to maintain the independence, security
and integrity of labor, and laws in the
interest of the safety, health and NOR
atty of the people, for human rights
are far greater than property rights
This country is now facing some of
the gravest problems of it's history
problems of preparing the country for
defense, of maintaining the national
honor, of maintaining the high stand
ard and protecting the rights of Ameri
can citizenship; problems of interna
tional relations in this great crisis OF
world affairs; problems of social
Justice, industrial conditions and gov
ernmental policy. In the solution OF
! these problems we are, and should be-
united people, having but one pur
pose,-that to perpetuate our govern
ment and institutions and maintain
the prosperity and happiness of the
American people. While human prog
ress is always beset with struggles

| genCe and Hottest patriotism.

Although Jess Willard. the world
champion heavyweight, does not care
rap about fighting again his numer-
Gus managers. who have a cast-iron
grip on his services. are hungry for
gold. The circus season is over and the
big fellow weighs nearly 800 pounds
But the persons who take a slice of his
earnings feel that he should not re-
main idle all winter.
Wizards managers evidently believe
that the gullible public will readily
pay high prices to see the gigantic
title holder maui human punching
bag for ten rounds without a referees
decision But sporting men who fol-
low pugilism seem to think that a
so called fight between the champion
and a second or third rater wouldn't
draw corporal's guard unless the
promoters charged popular prices.
1nasmuch as Wizards managers will
demand guarantee of not less than
100000 for his end. it is probable that
fight promoters will not be in hurry
to bind themselves to articles of agree
ment.

his managers insist. but that he would
prefer to retire He admits he will
have to train at least two solid months
to get himself in any kind of shape.
He refuses to box Weinert or Dillon.

ably also would draw the line on Le-

conqueror of Jack Johnson. vet Full

who now is on the Pacific coast. has
come out strong for having a repre-
sentative of the Players Fraternity on
the national commission. In talking TO
a San Francisco reporter he SAID:
why shouldn't the players have a
member on the commission The play
ers make the game what it is, their
troubles are of a peculiar nature that
can only be understood in the ranks.
Furthermore. it is not for the club
owners to dictate any more than the
general policies for the players.
AT all events there should be one
man on the comm isSion who is strictly
neutral. and right now it would appear
that the Players Fraternity is the only
organization capable of supplying that
man.
"I-nless something is done soon an
other war between players and club
owners would not surprise me in the
least"
Stovan says that only the Players
Fraternity could furnish the man for
the national commission who would be
neutral. We do not get" Stovall on
that statement. How would a repre-
sentative of the fraternity be any more
neutral than man representing
either league?
But representation Of player will
never exist on the commission. There
is no occasion for such change, for
the present system has done all that
could be done for the benefit of the
players.
The nine -hundred- thousand dollar +
suit by the directors of the Baltimore
Federal League club is constantly be-
coming more irritating to some of our
leading maenates. Especially is this
suit menace because of TIE brewing
trouble with the fraternity and the
rumors that Harry Sinclairs oil earn
ingS may be used to put fresh life into
the corpse of the Federal League.
According to reports, Sinclair has
added considerable to his wealth. But
he Will hold tighter to it than ever
before and he never was a spend

League men cannot expect any sup
port from him.
