POWER TRUST ISSUE
Senate and House Lists Ap-
pear on BookIet-Leading
Candidates Criticized.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Fifteen Senators and % Representa-
tives have placed their signatures under
declaration that the power question
will be a major issue in this years
presidential campaign and that the
Power Trust" is seeking to influence
the selection of candidates.
The statement, with the names of the
signers. appeared on the frontispiece of
a booklet issued yesterday by Judson
King, director of the National Popular
Government League, giving an analysis
OF the power stands of presidential can
didates
Johnson Among Signers.
The signers included Senators John
son, Norris, Nye, Frazieer, Brookhart,
Cutting and Howell, Republicans;
Walsh of Montana, Wheeler. McKellar,
Costigan, Dill, Gore and Long, Demo-
Gratis, and Shipstead, Farmer-Labor.
The analysis of the presidential can
dldateS, which was not included in the
section indorsed by the legislators, de-
scrlbed President Hoover as a Power
Trust President" classed Gov. Richie
OF Maryland and Newton D. Baker as
also on the Power Trust" side, termed
Alfred E. Smith as on middle ground
ana listed Speaker Garner and Frank
I'm d; Roosevelt on the public inter-
est" side.
The legislators signatures applied
only to the section which asserted the
power questions political significance
cannot be overestimated and must
challenge the attention of those in
terested in any progressive movement
or measure"
Powerful Political Machine.
The reason is plain" their state
ment continued. The combined utility

Power Trust, have the most powerful
and widely organized political machine
ever known In our history.

dominant political parties"
Senator Wheeler, one of the signers,
back in town yesterday from a West
