For aeveral year now I hav been steadfaatly fighting to secure thorough- ftoing and far-reaehing control In the nterest of the nubllo oyer the business combinations which do an . Interstate business. In this effort I have boon as much hampered by th extremists,, well meaning or otherwise,- who -demanded visionary and impracticable radicalism, aa by thoae other, extremists, no less dangerous, who stand for th reaction ary refusal to remedy any grievance. On side, th eld on which I am obliged to say you hav placed yourself, has shown Itself to be Just as much the en emy of progress as the other. I, hold It entirely natural for any great law-de-f ylng corporation to wish to sea you placed In th presidency, rather than Mr. Taft .Your plans to put a stop- to sbuses of this character ar whollv chimerical. . ' . ., ., . . 2Xav 2fo Tear. . Let us repeat that no law-defying corporation has anything to fear from I you save what it will suffer in th gen eral paralysis of business which . any attempt on your part to reduce to prac tice what you nave advocated would bring. This paralysis would affeot the wage-worker,- the farmer.,-the small bus inessman, mora than it would affect the ?reat business man. But It would el ect the latter, too. - Therefore, I hapo and believe that all far-sighted cltlsens who wish to see this country prosper in material things will support Mr. Taft But above all I ask for support 'for him because he stands for the. moral uplift of th na tion, because his deeds hav mad good his words and because th policies to which he is .committed, ar of Immeasur able consequence alike to the honor and th Interest of th whole American peo ple.
