raise the prices on Its products. In
two years and eleven months OF his
administration President Taft has
caused 10 be brought four more civil
suits aud fifteen more criminal prose-
cutiODS than Mr.. Roosevelt brought In
the seven and One-half years Of his ad-
ministration
Until Mr. Taft became the president
the administration Of Mr.. Roosevelt
held the record in both particulars.
Thus has President Taft. who was Mr.
Roosevet's right arm during his last
administration. kept his pledge to the
American people to uphold aud main
tain the policies OF his predecessor In
furnishing the criminals and undesira-
Bile element In the big business OF the
country.

OF 1913 reference was made to the
prosecution OF evil trusts and monopo-
lies as one OF the great accomplish
mcnts Of the Roosevelt administration.
and the platform declared that the
sherman antitrust law had been

this law and has kept his promise.
