Show CAN THEY DO ITV Talk about nerve! Look at this ev. tract from the Ohio Stale Republican platform In coiidt-miiailon of trusts;' "Wl pledge our parly to such further lelslHllun as experience inny, deter mine neoessary to prevent'lhe forma-ilon forma-ilon and operation of such Iniquitous and dangerous coinblnatlous.', Iqr wRb tbIr declaration ssalntt n - these "liilqitlloiis mid iliinnermH eoai-! eoai-! hlu itloiM," ih- O do Ripubllnins com-meed com-meed hi Ihe strongest term- lhnpre-sent lhnpre-sent ailnilul4tralloii und I md President McKmley mid Ills policies.
