La Collette Against Roosevelt. Robert M. LaFollette, United States Senator from NVisconsin foremost Republican progressive ii, the upper House of Congress, is against Theodore Roosevelt for . third term, because, he says Rooszvelt while president co-operated with the trusts instead of co-operat-ing with him in his fight against the trusts. ‘‘On the day that Theodore Roose veil was made President of the United States.” declares LaFoile: 'there were 149 trusts and combina tions in the United States. When h turned the governmen* over to NVr.i H. Taft, there were 10,020 great rusts and combinations. ''When Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House the trusts an/1 combinations had a capitalization oi $3,784,000,000 . On the day that lie turned the administration over :j Taft It was $31,672,000,000. More than 70 per cent of it was watered. "I do not believe that the man who was President for seven years while the greatest trust growth in this country occurred, at the very time of all times In the history of the Sherman law when it could have been made productive in destroying trust organization, that destroys competition and places the American people in the powers of the combinations—I do not believe that 'lie man who was President during /hat time is the man to find the wav ou* now."
