Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 76, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 May 1902 — Equal to the Occasion. [ARTICLE]

Equal to the Occasion.

The facts, declarations and acts, of the party in Indiana, of the department of justice, and of the president, all indicate sincerity of purpose, and it the Sherman law is adequate to the necessities of the hour, conviction and punishment will follow the judicial investigations now under way, and if it is not the Republican party will enact a Jaw that will meet the requirements of the people. The task is a delicate one and a mighty one. It means a contest with aggregation of money and brains, such as the commercial world has not hitherto seen or known and such as the courts of this or any other country has never dealt with. There may be delay, for wealth and brains can make delay, but the end will come, soon or late. The people can afford to trust Theodore Roosevelt and the Republican party, while they solve this great question, for both, wo repeat are profoundly in earnest. —Lafayette Call.
