We are unaltera bly, opposed to
monopoly in American shipping and
are opposed to the operation of any
OF our service in a manner that
would retard the development of any
ports or sections OF our country.
We oppose such sacrifices and
favoritism as exhibited in the past
in the matter of alleged sales, and
insist that the primary purpose of
the legislation upon this subject be
the establishment and maintenance
OF an adequate American merchant
marine.
Armenia
We favor the most earnest efforts
on the part of the United States to
secure the fulfillment OF the
promises and engagements made
during and following the World war
by the United States and the allied
powers to Armenia and her people.
We believe with Jefferson and
other founders of the republic that
ignorance is the enemy of freedom
and that each state. being respon-
sible for the intellectual and moral
qualifications of its citizens and for
the expenditure of the money col
lected by taxation for the support
of its school, shall use its sovereign
right in all matters pertaining to
education.

Monopolies And Anti Trust Laws
During the last seven years. I'M
der republican rule, the antitrust
laws have been thwarted, ignored
and violated so that the country is
rapidly becoming controlled by
trusts and sinister monopolies form
ed for the purpose of wringing from
the necessaries of life an UPRIGHT
eous profit. These ordinations are
often formed and conducted in vio-
lation of law, encouraged. aided and
abetted in their activities by repub-
lican administration and are driving
all small tradespeople and small in
dustrialists out OF business. Compe-
tition is one of the most sacred.
cherished and economic rights Of
the American people. We demand
the strict enforcement of the anti
trust laws and the enactment of
this great menace to trade and COM
merce. and thus to preserve the
right of the small merchant and
manufacturer to earn a legitimate
profit from his business.
Dishonest business should be
treater without influence at the ma
tional capitol. Honest business. no
matter its size. need have no fears
of a democratic administration. The
democratic party will ever oppose
illegitimate and dishonest business.
1t will foster. promote and encour-
age all legitimate business enter

The H. S. Hatton Construction Co.,
which has the contract for repairing
the dome of the new National Museum.
will be ready next week to start put

designed to take the strain off the four
piers. Jack Quarles, the company's
superintendent said today that all the

The exhibits in the rotunda, from which
the public has been excluded, have
been covered: hole has been cut in
the roof, through which to admit the
necessary materials. and the hosting
tower has been placed in the west
court of the museum.

Beams 80 fet long and weighing about
three tons apiece will be hoisted aloft to
be put into place The first steel
band, Just as a hoop around a barrel,

will observe the strains, and this jack
turning process will take 20 days.
