Tn a prepared speech In the senate
Thursday Senator Pomer* "e, of Ohio,
called upon the attorney general to
underttake oriminal proMcution of
the officers of Standard Oil and Amer-
can Tobacco companies under the re
cent decision of the supreme court of
the United States in the case of the
two corporations.
He did not a.sk for action on his
resolution instructing the attorney
general to be’in the suits giving way
to Senator N’elson, who desired to
speak on Canadian reciprocity, but
he will press for a vote on it in the
immediate future.
Taking upr cudaels on behalf Of
Attorney Cieneral Wickersham, whom
Mr. Pomerene had criticised, Sena
tor Kenyon declared that the present
head of the department of jnslce had
chleved more results in his prosecu
tion of trusts than any of his prede
cessors He said Mr. Wickersham
did not require instru tioas from
congress to do tiis duty.
Senator N’elson created a diversion
whrn, applauding Mr .Wtekersham’s
work, he declared that the [/resent
governor of Ohio, Judson Harmon,
when atorney general in President
Cleveland's cabinet, had said the
Sherman anti-trust law was a deao
letter Poth Senators Pomerene and
Hitchcock were Immediately on their
feet to replv.
"That is mere imagination." said
the Nebraska senator. "Mr. Harmon
was the official who first brought any
life Into the 'f w."
In his speech Senator Pomerene
declared tIn^the Sherman anti-trust
law was specific in Its authority to
press such a mii* a -ainst conspirators
who restrain trade and. further
that the interpretation of the statute
hv the supreme court of the Cnlted
States was clear
"With these plain findings of fact
and conclusions by 'he court that this
statute has been violated what rea
son can be triven hv anv sw tti court
official for not con'inuing his fight
acainst them in order to tiring them
to the bar of tustice'’" asked Sena
tor Pomerene He added " \ deem'
sense of self resnei t requires the
gmernment • i'her to enforce this law
or to rei'c.al it "
The Ohio senator declared that the
rulin’ of the supreme <■ Mirt must he
followed un quicklv in the most vig
orous f shion "or the fml’s of the*;e
victories will be lest to the govern
ment and to the tieonle
The sena'or declared that hv hi =
re«olu!on it is proposed to declare
to the department of justice in no un
certain wav that the congress which
made him and clothed him with
paw er is cognizant of the fact that
the !■ w has 'veeti violated: that the
