and the monopoly question, that be
purposed to carry out the pledges he
made In his campaign speeches, to
cut special privilege out of tariff
schedules, prevent unfair competition
[in business, and to destroy privilege
monopoly.
The President-elect has been asked
whether the big correspondence
he' received after his elctlon contained
any inquiries as to his attitude
on the tariff or monopoly problems.
"Do you moan that people take It
for granted you will carry out the
pledges made in your campaign
speeches?'' he was asked.
"Yes, they certainly will be carried
out so far as 1 am concerned.'
In his campaign speeches the governor
often reiterated that revision
of the tariff should he undertaken
, immediately. It la believed that this
idea now will find expression in a call
- for ah extra session of Congress to
consider the tariff question, a9 well
aa other subjects which were issues.

Oovernor Wilson now has in hand
a fairly complete list of all the men
who have expressed themselves pubs
