Governor elect Albert B, Cummins cf Iowa followed Senator MoLaurin Mr. Cummins said thero is a feeling in this oountry that industrial oombina tions aro tending to drift toward mo nopolies. Not a word oould be said, he deolared, againet industrial combinations, but a monopoly was quite a different thing from industrial oombinai tions, lit said thoro are two foroes to rcguUto priors?ono competition and the othor regulation by law.
