 "Mr Roosevelt is strong on criti- cism and short on construction, He can write good indictment against President Taft but he has not pro- posed a satisfactory remedy for the trusts He knows that the country has aches and pains but the medi- cine which he proposes is worse than the disease. He would have the coun- try go from the trust frying pan into the Socialist fire. He cannot draw Democrats and must ultimately lose understand the three links in the chain which he is forging.
 First, accept the trust as perna- nent institution and thus encourage the consolidation of all business into great monopolies.
 Second, withdraw from the states all power to restrain private mono polieS and then trust to a power at Washington to release these mono polies.
 Third, remove all limitations as to number of presidential terms and leave the President to use, the bureau which he appoints to. coerce the mono polies which the bureau controls and through the monopolies, the employees and the business houses into continu- ,ous renominations and elections and thus convert the chief executive into President for life.

 nor. saloon keeper at 732 East Main street; Jacob Hoffman, bartender at BaIdwin's cafe; William Gordon, jam itor of the Taylor building, and Nun son Hagen, who is connected in an executive way with the Bridgeport Enamel Dial Go.
