chairman spence ot of the state mate central committee called the delegates to order and named hon hen H at towner for temporary chairman mr air towner in his address said the position of the republican party and its president Is that the power of government over corporations trusts and combinations is absolute th tha ut as they are creatures of the state they must be subject to its control ilia iha I 1 AS s they derive all their powers from government they can exercise no power pot conferred upon them that either cither in the exercise of national or state power will be found ample au thorley to cure every evil and correct eveia every abuse and this applies not only to b he ralli railways but to all other corporal abuses but mr dry dryan in and the co controlling nt rolling win wing g of the democratic party parts say gay that all the efforts to control and restrain these trusts are futile and vain apat hat railroads and the trusts cannot be restrained there ther is some talk of controlling trolling trusts says mr tr bryan controlling jon you 4 might as well ta talk lk of controlling burglary burg iary and he and his brother rail rad icalas are preparing for a

them in this campaign and in the national camp campaign if it were left to the leaders of the party upon what issue the campaign should be fought the vote in favor of the tariff would be almost unanimous the particular interests which have most grievously offended the people are not affected by tariff even the trusts whose evil practices are most abhorred are nor no favored but the question is why strike at the tariff to cure the in equalities of the trusts why call in ia foreign powers to help aig us when w have ample power to right every wrong among ourselves tike like the sun tho the protective tariff has showered blessings in 9 s on all and if in response to some mad cry it should be blotted out this people too will cry again as they did in 1896 to give them baci bac the sun that is not the republican method of ot W curing the trust evil wo we believe with ample power and a vigorous determination to use tide what power we can and will cure every ry trust evil that affects us
