the Roosevelt plan az an "audacious
attempt to set up a one-man govern

progressive republicans, when they
understand the three links In the
chain which he Is forging.
"First-accept tho trust as perma-
nent institution and thus encourage
the construction of all business into
great monopolies.
"Second-withdraw from the states
all power to restrain private monopol.
les and then trust to bureau at
Washington to regulate these monop.
olies.
"Thtrd-remove all limitations as to
number of presidential terms and
leave the president to use the bureau
which he appoints to coerce the mon
opolies which the bureau controls
and through the monopclies the en-
ployes and the business public into
continuous denominations and re-elec
tions and thus convert the chief execu
tive into a president for life.
This is the most adacious attempt
that the country has vet seen to sci
