WHY THE BEEF TRUST is FOR
ROOSEVELT.

On March 4. 1897. when the Repub.
lican party took possession of the
government. family beef was sold at
$3.50 a barrel On Oct 10, 1904. the
lowest price at which it could be
bought was sl0.5O-an increase OF
nearly % per cent. At that time the
bureau Of corporations had been at
work for Gil days. and large part of
its activity had been the investigation
Of the beef trust. The methods Of the
beef trust have been judicially declar.
ed to be Illegal. but II is doing bust
ness without interference from the
administration, and its members are
eagerly working for President Roose-
velt's election.-New York World.

his making speech and Sanderson
did so, winding up in this way: Some
people wonder why it is l have had
