La FeUette In VitrieKc Speech De
nounces Taft's Administration art
Charges Bad Faith in PreparatfM
of Railroad Regulation 1111 New
Before Senate.
"BILL IS E0LDEST RAID
YET," DECLARES 801
"Never iefere," He Thumfers, "Hsu
Any One Undertaken- Serlefusly f
Ask ConfTMs- far Charter ts M
nopalize Country's Commerce."
WASHINGTON, D. a, April 12.
Senator La Follette today in
scorching speech in tho senate de
nounced tho Taft administration ani
charged bad faith in the preparation
of the railroad regulation bill. Ha
declared that Attorney-Geneva!
Wickersham, in abandoning the pros':
ecution of the great railroad mer
ger in New England, had betrayed
tho people.
Speaking on the president's rail
roadraod bill, La Follette said:
"The bill is the boldest raid upoa
public right in the form of legisla
tion on this subject the highbindera
of big business ever succeeded ia
forcing upon the serious considera
tion of congress.
"Never before has any one under
taken seriously to ask congress for
a charter for monopolization and op
pression of the country's commerce,
such as is carried in the devious lan
guage and is tho hidden purpo&e of
this measure:
"Tot, if wo pause to inqquire if
we are not convinced beforehand that
we should vote for this legislation
without investigating the conditions
with which it deals without even ba
ng informed that reasons controlled
in forming it, we are accused of giv
ing aid and comfort to the eoeiBy,
denounced as traitors to tho Repub
lican party and threatened with th
administration's displeasure.
"JTen who grow gray figltting bat
tles for the Republican party are not
obliged to havo their Republicanism
certified by an attorney-general wfeo
until recently was known as an at
torney for big businoss' nnd 'finas-
oial interests' in New York." A
"In now of tho largo and extonsw
power which the bill conferred oa:
tho attorney-general," La FoUette'
continued, "it is desirable to con
sider what construction miVTit be-
placed by him on the sections allow
ing the railroads to acquire the stock
of othor roads nnd form combina
tions."
