President Roosevelt reaffirms a vigorous anti trust stance, urging national regulation of interstate corporations, strengthened penalties for crimes by the rich, and a Puritan ethic of duty. He argues for federal oversight of large combines, accountability for executives, and balance between individual initiative and collective responsibility.
Persistent rumors claim President Roosevelt may retain Attorney General Bonaparte to avoid signaling a weakening of antitrust policy. Root and Taft aides reportedly disagree with Bonaparte's stance, while Cabinet peers warn of possible disruption if he remains.
A New York Journal of Commerce dispatch claims pressure on Attorney General Bonaparte could prompt cabinet changes. It suggests the president’s trusted advisers oppose Bonaparte’s antitrust tactics and foresee a protest action if cabinet shifts occur while enforcement of federal court orders continues unimpeded.
The Attorney General Bonaparte states that the Department of Justice will enforce processes in primary Alabama federal courts. A telegram to United States District Attorney Parsons in Montgomery authorized public release of this statement.
Attorney General Bonoparte said he wrote Judge Landis of Chicago about granting immunity from prosecution to the Chicago and Alton railroad for rebates to the Standard Oil Company. He will decide if immunity will be granted, with a decision expected by week’s end. Morrison of Chicago testified full immunity had been promised to the railroad, and the question concerns whether the agreement was made in good faith.
