Robert Wilson Patterson has had discussions with several Republican business leaders of the Chicago, Illinois, area. He finds that there is support for making the affairs of trusts public, but methods of regulation should be decided on later. William McKinley’s reciprocity policy has support, but subsidizing an increase in the commercial marine is unpopular.
