Excerpt from Speech of Governor Coe I. Crawford: Delivered at Eureka, S. D., December 2, 1907The republican party today, under the leadership of our great President, Theodore Roosevelt, is true to its high purpose to be a great instrumentality for the help of the common people. We have before us the great questions between the people and the big trusts and corporations, and the President is firmly ad hering to his determination that they shall be controlled by the law and made to obey it the same as a common every-day citizen is controlled by it and made to obey it. The President has a mighty big task on his hands. Great railroad companies - all, banded together, - and in league with enormous trusts, like the Standard Oil Company with its hundreds of millions of wealth, are hard to control and to keep within bounds.Sometimes these great companies appear to think they are greater than the government and they have their attorneys and agents and lobbyists at work everywhere, trying to control the politics of the country and prevent any laws from being passed to check their abuses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
