An Eastern Senator, James j.
Davis, Of Pennsylvania, today Of
fered to join Senator Borah (R }
Of Idaho in making monopoly one
Of the big issues in the Republican
presidential campaign Of 1886.
Senator Davis proposed to
couple a drive against monopoly
with a ringing demand for econ
omy in government. The two,
he said, should form the spear
head of the campaign against the
Roosevelt administration.
After trips to several States,
Senator Davis asserted that dis
tinct trend back to the Republican
party is evident.
"The Republicans have got TO
take a stand on monopoly" he
said. Monopoly and economy in
government should be the issues
Of the party next year. agree
with Senator Borah on the ques-
ton Of monopoly. 1t Is an issue
which cannot be lodged, and is
an issue which affects every one
in the nation"
The Senator declared for a
party platform plank declaring
for enforcement Of the antitrust
laws. He asserted that I'VE are
taking more liberty with the anti
trust laws now than ever before. "
That seems to be the conSen-
Sus Of business men with whom I
have talked" he said. THE
thought is that the little man will
be annihiated unless something
is done. and Capitalization Of
power, both in government and
in business, will continue.
"The major part of the mail
now am receiving is against the
building up Of monopoly in busi-
ness and for measures to curb
the power of monopoliStic organ
izations.
II think one of the strong
planks in the Republican plat.
form should be for support of the
antitrust laws"

Wartime Secrecy Surrounds 46 Nav, Aircraft Out
 Upon Pacific

HONOLULU, T. H., May 10.-ln grim wartime fashion, all communi- cation sources are silent concerning the whereabouts of 46 Navy planes which hopped off for Midway Isle yesterday forenoon.
 It is believed they may have alighted at one of the barren little islands this side of Midway Isle to avoid a storm which swept over Midway.
 The exact whereabouts of the fleet is however unknown to any one but the Navy.
 It was learned the planes may be away from here about one month giving rise to the belief that some of them may continue northWard from Midway to the Aleutians.

Politicians Smile 0t Talk
 of Right Wing Third Party
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, WashinytOn)

Talk of right-wing third party, in which old-line Democrats could battle against what they regard as the dangerous policies of the Roose- welt administration, makes almost no impression in Washington.
 When Gov. Talmadge of Georgia denounced MT. Roosevelt as an ex- treme radical, and predicted there would be a third and presumably more conservative ticket in the field in 1886, most experienced poll ticians merely smiled.
 They could not picture MT. Roose- velt's chief critics within his own party, such as Senator Garter Glass, Al Smith and John w. Davis, either supporting Republicans or going into any sort of coalition with Re- publicans.
 It just doesn't fit in at all with the lessons of experience.

Few Leaders Bolt

To suppose thay dissatisfied ele- ments of party easily can be per suaded to bolt is one of the great est fallacies in politics.
 It is quite true that party ale glance is not what it used to be, still it remains the rule, not the exception.
 An examination of the election returns of any year will demon strate that only minor percentage of the whole body of voters shift; from one side to the other, even in times of political upheaval.
 The percentage among leaders i' even smaller. Only handful oi first-rate political figures can be named who have left their party during the topsy-turvy changes ol the past 20 years.
 Party Loyalty
 The case of Senator Glass i' very much in point. He probably has used stronger language than any other senator in condemnation of various of the key measures pro posed to Congress by MT. Roose- welt.
