that the later A(m7 did not, and
that the city editions of the other

The jirof&aor also said that in the
fktpUftniter nurnher of Everybody's
Magazine Peter Clarke MacFarlane
In an arth'Je on "Meaetires, Not
Men' quoted the eliminated clause
and. In the mbslafcen idea that It
va a part of fbe printed progressive
pjatrorm, ald of It:
"Thin antl-trwHt plank Ik by all
orldH the moKt Immediately Im
portant plank In the progressive
platform. Attention may he diverted
to other utterances which Beem more
radical, hut there Is none vhlch has
In It at once so much of the thrill
of opportunity and immediacy.
"And the platform-making college
professors of the proerresslves jim
mied It out of the La Follette strong
box. Where a Follette got It tbe
writer does not know, which Is, per
haps, confessing dark and inexcus

In order to bring out briefly and
thought eo.

by law do away with oouopo'T
abuses, although the power wou'd
remain with the commission to pre
vent unfair practices or stock wa:-
ing or other abuses. The opponent
could thus say after this plank was
omitted, as Mr. Bryan did say, tha:
it would be an easy thing to have
the commission appointed by a presi
dent under corporation inSuencs
and then nave this commission.

the progressive party an opportunity
to excite suspicion against it If f-e
provision calling for a recall of this
commission had remained in, t
would not have made so much dif
ference, but unfortunately the main
committee cut that out also, al
though there was nothing legalizing
monopoly in the plank as printed:
yet after the recall was cut out it
became necessary, in order to have
a plank which the American people
would approve, to have the specific
amendments of the Sherman act re
main in the plank.
Q. The convention, then, favored
the final clause as left out of the
printed platform? A Yes, as far as
I know the sentiment favoring it was
unanimous. I did not hear a dis
senting voice against it
