President Wilson deals at length with
the Roosevelt or third party programme
regarding the regulation OF trusts as
outlined In the platform OF that party in
the past presidential election. The presi-
dent says In part:
The new party platform legIslates
monopolies. You cannot use monopo-
Hes TO serve free people. The
Roosevelt platform is very long but
very tolerant The Roosevelt doc
trine admits that monopoly Is in
evitable.
I absolutely protest being put into

We try 10 get the grip OF monopoly
away from our lives. or shall We not?
The phrase, THE national administra-
ton having for sixteen years been vlr-
tually under regulation OF the trusts.

about the administrations Of his two
predecessors The article. Ia part, Is as
follows.

cate monopoly by law. 10 see to 1t
