It seems that the things which have put a
'crimp" in the feelings of Champ themes
wherein the candidate he visited yesterday Is va
cillating weak. For instance. the President. in
speaking at Charleston April @ 1862. "Su-
premacy of the Law" had this to say:
This is an era OF great combinations, both of
laDor and capital. In many ways these COmbina-
under the law. and the laws concerning them must
be just and wise, or they will inevitably do evil
ana this applies as much 20 the richest corporation
as 10 the most powerful labor union.
On the same topic the President at Spokane,
Wash, May 26. 1905 had this to say:
We have the right, to ask every. decent American
cltzen TO rally 70 the support Of the law if it is
ever broken against the interest OF the rich man;
and we have the same right 10 ask that rich man
cheerfully and gladly 10 acquiesCe in the enforce
mept against his seeming interest Of the law II
II Is the law. Incidentally, whether he acquiesces
or not, the Ia will be enforced and this whoever
he may be. great or small. and az whichever eud
OF the social scale he may be.
AT Butte. Mont. May q 1903 the President
said this:
This is not and never shall b. a government Of a
plutocracy, II is not and never shall be a govern
