 good faith of the claim, but do sa,
 that If the legislation he demands
 were enacted, destruction of property
 by irresponsible persons in such con- l tFoversies would increase. Again, fl
 such legislation were enacted, under
 it's cover. vicious and irresponsible people belonging to the criminal
 class. not engaged in labor or seeking
 labor, would avail themselves of the | opportunity, as they have in many in- | stances, in the name of contesting la
 bor, of destroying property, and the I other hereof would be without rem
 edy. The legislation that MT Com pers demands would turn loose in times of trouble the criminally dis posed. In charity for him. do not believe that he realizes the conse- quences that would result from that | which he advocates, and, in justice all the citizenship of the republic, in justice to every man who lives in the sweat of his face by honest endeavor. I am now, and will be at all times, opposed to this legislation which he demands
 For thirty years have represented district where nearly all the consr- tuency have lived and are living by their labor. They and those like un- to them stand for law and order, for protection of property and the in alienabIe rights of every citizen. Those who tabor have trod, and are treading, no path that have not trod and that my descendants will not tread. The organized labor that Mir. Gompers claims to represent is composed of
 people who have the right to or ganize.r They are. of al churches and of no church.; they are skilled and unskilled; they belong to all the diff farent parties; they are as intelligent and as patriotic as any other equal number of citizens of the republic. Tn the transaction of the business of their organization I have no doubt but they will cooperate with those who from time 10 time they place in authority, but in their parry affiliations, in choosing the policies of the republic, am ready to take my chances with them, and this too without regard to the demands of MT. Gcmpers when he seeks to control their action at the ballot-box.
 In the executive departments of the government the record of the party has been brilliant, courageous and honest, and the name of Roosevelt" has become a synOym for all those qualities throughout the realms of civilization. He has been the presi- dent of all the people and he has ceen tireless in his efforts to serve the people by wise, just and fearless administration of the law. He has been particularly zeaIous in adminis- tering the law against the trusts and combinations of capital which have ignored the old adage Of live and let live. The beef trust, the paper trust, the tobacco trust, the drug trust, the coal combination and various combin- ationS of railroads and shippers have felt the heavy hand of the law and I learned that it is strong enough to | compel them 10 give all a square deal ! The record Of trust prosecution and investigations into their practices is ! too long to here recite, but it is acknowledged to be most creditable, even by our political opponents.
 The congress has worked in har- nony with the president and embod- | jed into law more of his recommenda- tions than has fallen to the lot of | most chief executives. I believe the
 record of the Fifty-ninth congress 1 made in it's first session will go into | history as one of the best records of
 '"gislation for the benefit of all the
 people that has ever been made. The
 railroad rate law, the pure food law,
 the meat inspection amendment to the
 agricultural appropriation act, the
 free alcohol law, the consular reform legislation, the employers liability law, all enacted at one session of con-
 gress. make a record of legislation l which has not been paralleled in
 many years.
 The amendment. to the interstate commerce law, known as the Elkins
 Law of 1902. and the rate legislation just enacted, coupled with many de-
 cfs;ons of the supreme court of the United States, render it reasonably
 certain that practices which had
 grown up by large shippers of com modities demanding and receiving from common carriers exceptional
 rates for transportation not enjoyed
 by others is prohibited by law and
 penalized both as to the railway, or
 other common carrier, and the ship
 per. So that it is safe to say that
 each citizen in the United States will
 be treated the same as every other
 citizen.
