This assurance may be sufficient with the party supporters of McKin- ley. Itis vot suflicient with those who hesitate to support him on ac- count of bis evident reluctance to speak out on this important issue. Itis not suflicient because, if Mr. McKinley really considers that, in case of his election, his oath of of- fiee would bind him to an active and vigorous enforcement of the anti- trust laws, there can be no reason why be should not make an open declaration to that effect. The thousands and tens of thou- sands of voters who are waiting fer such declaration are liable to con- jstrue his continued refusal to make it as au evidence that under bis Ad- ministration the anti-trust laws would be disregarded as completely as they have been under the present Administration or that which pre- |ezded it. | What do you think of the trusts? | Speak out, Mr. McKinley! !
