JOHN G. SPooNER has been heard
from. He voted for the Sherman
antitrust law and was in a measure
responsible for its passage, and now,
just think of it, in recent speech he
is quoted as saying that the measure
is crude and bungling in its construc-
ton, unsatisfactory and that he re-
GREETED having voted for it. He has
also came to the conclusion that most
of the violators of the law have
offended through inability to fathom
its meaning rather than deliberate
intention of violating its provisions.
The John G. is admitting good deal
when he says that he ever voted for
crude, bungling, puzzling bill.
