FALSE CRY RAISED BY INDUSTRIAL PIRATES
UNDER PLEA OF PROTECTING BUSINESS

Evidence accumulates that the
predatory interests are preparing to
wage the hext national campaign
under false pretenses. Recalling the
success which they have achieved in
past years by deception and misrep-
resentation they have evidently de-
termined to repeat their efforts to
obliterate in the public mind the
line between honest business and the
favor seeking corporation; the
"plunder bund," seeking to hide be-
mind legitimate enterprises and
claiming for itself the immunity
that, by common consent, is granted
to corporations properly organized
and honestly conducted. and the sub
sidized newspapers, whose support

to deceive the public ought to have
been apparent even before the dem

put its principles and policies into
practice; surely deception ought to
be impossible now when the people
not only see, but enjoy the benefits
