OF the steel t,ust deal the OJmmouer
says;
10 October, 1907, il was reported that
two officers of the steel trust visited the
White House and asked MIR. Roosevelt
whether he would object if the s.eel
trust gob6led up the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company, which was the trusts
principal competitor. 1t was rePor ed
at the time that Mr.. Roosevelt gave the
steel trust permission to lo-ge this addi-
tionsl link in the monopoly chain. Tbs
report is now fully confirmed. Mr..
Roosevelt admits that he gave his sppr0'
val to this unholy combination. He
claims he did it 10 order to sop a further
spread of the republican panic and that,
in any event, it was legal transaction.
Let us anslyze this: If the deal wss
legitimate and violated no law, why did
the steel trust need the presidents ap'
prevail. What did the president have to
40 with a Legitimate transaction between
these two concerns!

naming out of the territory during
the vacations of congress. 1t is said
that he occasionally visits Kentucky,
where he first saw the light and
breathed the breath of life. Is it a
matter of wonder that Mark Smith or
any other Keptuckian should visit his
old Kentucky home when he has an
opportunity to do so? Mark Smith
has his private business to look after
and when congress adjourns it is his
privilege to go wherever his business
or his inclination may direct. He has
never been absent from congress dur
ing the sessions of that law-making
body and the roll cali from day to day
would disclose that Mark Smith was
there with perhaps greater regularity
than the great majority of members.
The Review will have the pleasure
of presenting the record of accomp-
lishments in congress by Hon. Mark
Smith during the campaign and when
the record is seen it will be sufficient
to shame some of the tenderfoot
editors of Arizona who have been so
foolish to raise the question of what
Mark Smith has done in congress,
