When Theodore ovoit became
President the SherS Al antitrust laW
had been on the nations statute books
for more thar ten years. walker. the
historian of that law, shows that. IN
til Roosevelt became President that
law was not earnestly enforced. I'm
der Roosevelt forty-four suits were
brought against criminal trusts-more
than under all former administrations
put together.
But it is said that Roosevelt never
would attack the so-called MoTgf'
interests. Yet the first suit eve:

Roosevelt. Roosevelt caused this suit
to be brought against the Northern
Securities CO. and had named j. 2.
Morgan and J. j. Hill and others o
the Morgan group personally as de
PENDANTS. That suit was Hon by the
which really put a practical end to 6
trust evil. For that suit actually die
end the holding company as a method
Of modern finance. Yet we are tolo
that the Morgan interests today are
favorable to Roosevelt.
Suit Brought to Influence Votes.
The excuse for this Is that a suit
recently has been brought against the
United States Steel corporation. Yet
all the facts on which that suit is
based were in the hands OF the ad-
ministration long ago. If that suit
was Justly brought, would 1t not have
been better If it had been brought al
the beginning of the administration
instead OF at the beginning of the
campaign? And, after the election
will the outcome of it be the same as
in the Oil and Tobacco trust suits?
1t is said that Roosevelt is in this
