ton and other subjects which have
engaged the attention of the admin

to the tree OF freedom without pro-
posing any more workable or better
remedy. Ia to champion the cause OF
the special Interests, in, whose favor,
as against the people and against the
cause Of justice. the courts have de-
cided"
The colonel asserted that when the
President supported those courts
