Senator Teller, for years a republican
leader in his State, as we'll as in the United
States senate, in speaking of the Dlnsley
bill, which Mr.. Hawley Professionally advo-
caieu, worked ana VotdN Tor, Said. II re
peat, In my judgment, " Ia the worst tarin
bill that has ever been passed II is ex-
ceedingly itigh, 1t Is away beyond anything
that had any reason to suppose would be
adopted. In my opinion. II takes good care
OF all the trusts and all The combination.
OF the country; and II ] can say 1t without
, being offensive, In my Judgment the trusts
, ana combines ana syndlcafeS nave MAJ
rather TOO much 10 do with the making OF
the bill"
