A DELIBERATE UNTRUTH.

Roosevelt. Taft, Hughes and others have said that the Democratic party has done nothing against the trusts. This statement is not true. The Democratic party has done practically all that has been done against the trusts. Roosevelt has talked about the trusts, but he has not only done nothing to suppress the old ones, but has allowed hundreds of new ones to be formed during his administration. On the other hand the Democratic party wherever it has been in control, has passed and enforced laws to curb these commercial pirates. The Democrats have had no control of the national government for twelve years, but in every state where they have been in power the trusts have been sored to obey the laws made to stop their aggressions. Roosevelt, Taft, Hughes and the rest know that this is so. They purposely and deliberately misstate the truth.
