 We have here the condemnation of the practice. Has he proved his faith by his worksl Is it true or not that four years ago he selected for his cam. paign manager novice in politics whose principal qualification for the position was the power he held over the corporations of the land! Is it true or not that the official place as Secretary of Commerce and Labor gave full knowledge of these business see. fcts and relations of corporations Co this campaign manager, and clothed him with power, with the assent of the President, to punish or reward them by publishing or withholding their secrets that he had collected as sucn secretary.
 Let mo go on. There has been and is uow public demand for legislation regulating, not abolishng, the process of injunction and the power to punish for alleged indirect or constructive con. tcmpts of courts Ever since lSa6 thc | Democratic party have protested against nasty and ill-considercd use of 1 iniunctious and has been insisting or the right of fair trial in an eases of constructive contempts.
