CAMPAIGN A HUGE JOKE
Griggs of Georgia Believes Republicans InSincere.
For Six Years the Republicans Have Been in Absolute Power and Have Not Attempted to
 Curb the Combines.

Washington, July s.-(Special)-Jud Griggs of Georgia, chairman of the Dem ocratic Congressional Committee, declares that President Roosevelt is trying to run a big bluff by his announcement that he is going to make war on the trusts.
 He said today the Republicans were evi- dently intending to make the coming campaign one huge joke, for he could imagine nothing more amusing than the Republican party assuming an attitude antagonistic to the trusts.
 "A fight conducted by the Republican party against these combinations" said Judge Griggs, would be nothing more thar a sham battle. and I have too much confidence in the good judgment and com mon sense of the people to believe that they would be fooled by this sort of cam paign bluff"
 For six years" he continued. 'the Republic ans have been in absolute power. That party has controlled the Senate. the House of Representatives and the Presidency. For seven months a Con- gress, Republican in both branches, has been in session, yet not one sentence, not one Word, not one SyildDle oI icSi@- lation has been undertaken for the sup pression of trusts. Now, four days af- ter the adjournment of Congress and five months before it is to meet again with a great national campaign coming on,, in which the people are to decide who are the friends of trusts, the President sallies forth armed cap-a-pie to assault the trusts.
 Mark you, he did not send message to Congress. but instead took occasion to go to Pittsburg and deliver his pro nunciamento in that city. t =
 And what is the remedy which thu President suggested? Why is it public ity? isnblicity Is nothing more thar moral suasion. which have about al much effect upon trust as it would have upon a highwayman. I never knew o moral suasion causing a robber to desis from holding up his victim, and l cannot see where it would be any more effective with the trusts What Is needed is tho strong arm of the law in both cases.
 We have the Republican party on the run upon this great question of trusts and we propose to keep them running and see that they do not hide behind any such fimsy shelter as the President put up in his Pittsburg speech"
