Taft, the Next Congress and the
Trusts.
To the Editor Of The Times
Some OF my friends say they are go,
ing to support Mr.. Taft, and when
ask them why. they reply: Because
we think he will carry out the Roose'
Welt policies"
ask them: Did the last congress
carry through the reform measures
demanded by Roosevelt and the PEG,
ple?" They, Of course, answer NO
OF course they didn't, nor they
wouldn't even listen to his last mes
sage urging them to do so. They re
fused to furnish 80 votes from the
Republican side to help the 166 Dem
ocrats who offered to carry them
through with their aid.
The Republican convention refused
by a vote of from TO 1 to 10 TO l
to adopt reform measures In their
platform.
Now, my friends, you can't elect
Mr.. Taft without electing Mr.. Sher-
man. who will appoint the senate
committees which have the power to
tie ND any legislation they may see

You then will have approved OF the
action OF the last congress which
stood with Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Sher
man In their refusal to pass reform
measures.
Now. suppose Mr.. Taft should say
to congress: Il want you to pass
some amendments to the antitrust
law enabling me the better TO prose

These gentlemen would say with
perfect propriety: "Mr. Taft. we can
not accede to your request. We were
elected on our record during the last
congress when we refused to pass
any reform measures. Besides. ouI

these measures. In defeating the
Democratic party which advocated
reform measures the people distinc

Shall THE PEOPLE Rule?

The Times has maintained and
enthused in this campaign over
the fact, that the American voter
is saying little but doing a whole
lot of thinking.
There is more interest in this
election than there has been in
any presidential year since 1896,
and as much, nearly, as there was
then, but there is no denonstra-
ton of it as there was then.
