THAT President TAFT will have 10
fight to sa7e the antitrust law from
destruction, instead Of heading move
ment 10 reVise and amend 1t 10 the pub
lie interest, is the belief OF many
knowing ones In Washington. All
the indicatioDs lend to the conclusion
thst the strongest effort yet made by the
great combinations of capital against
which The Law has been invoked will be
directed 10 obtain either It's repeal or lite
modification In the interest of The
combinations. A greater struggle than
any heretofore is predicted between the
special Interests and the public. Pfesi'
dent Taft realizs what Is coming, and
It ia doubtial II he will suggsSt any action
by Congress which might be seissd upon
a. On excuse for legislation that could
be shaped and twisted against the pub
bic interest. The organization In Con-
gresy, so fer rs the control Of Messrs.
Alirlcb aud Cannon extends, will IN
qnsstioua6ly be on the side of the great
,rpfaions Yet there is hope, If not
belief, that the force Of public sentiment
and the fear Of public indignation will
check the Aldrich Cannon domination,
at least sufficiently to save the Law from
complete emsscUlatiou.
