AS ROOSEVELT SEES BRYAN.

“You say that you have advocated more radical * measures against private monopolies thin either I of my party associates have been wlllliiig to undertake. You have, indeed, advocated measures that sound more radical, but they have the prime defect that In practice they would not work. I should not In this , letter to you discuss your ’attitude on this question If you did qo’t yourself bring It up, but as you have brought rt up, I answer you that In my judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly Ineffective In curing a single evil, and so far as they I had any effect at all, would merely throw the entire. business of < the country Into hopeless aud ut ter confusion. I put, Mr. Taft’s t deeds against your woida. 1 ask that you be Judged both by the words you WWh remembered, and by the Words that seemingly yon and your party nbW desire to J hnVe Porgottkn, t *1 hold It entirely natural for any great I law-defying corporation to with to eee you placed in the Presl- | dency rather than Mr. Taft. Your j plaua to put a stop to the abuses of these corporations are wholly chimerical. Theodore Row ▼ait.'* 15 k \ K ': • ‘
