piled a pamphlet combining a record Of
trust-busting achievements during the

the four years OF the second Cleveland
Administration.
Twenty-nine cases against railroads
were entered during the first four years
Of the Roosevelt Administration. These
were under the Elking act and the act
10 regulate commerce. During the last
term Of President Cleveland there were
1O3 cases entered under the act to reBu-
late commerce. Since the election Of
Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904 the number Of
cases has been increased TO 100.
Seventeen civil and eight criminal
cases have been instituted under the
Sherman antitrust law since Mr.. ROose-
welt took Office. In McKinley's Admin
istration there were three, and during
Cleveland's second Administration there
were nine. In Mr.. HarrisOn's term there
