l was Wilkes business that
created most of the opposition to

none of the traditional political

came into the prominence that led

lost and has closed the incident with
the assertion that public utilities
properties now owned by the gov
eminent should continue to be op-
Grated by the government. But he
is opposed to the government eX-
tending ownership in that or any
other business
But what many an old time
politician considered his greatest
handicap was his recent allegiance
to the Democratic party. He voted
Tor and contributed to President
RooSevelts election in 1882. But
