In the recent discussion of Charles Evans Hughes's confirmation as U.S. Chief Justice, U.S. Senator George William Norris described the conflict between the interests represented by Hughes and those represented by himself and, according to the news dispatches, he said that he was frightened by the prospect of the America toward which mergers and combinations were hurrying the country, an America in which every citizen would be the slave of a captain of monopoly sitting in Wall Street, New York, with his feet on a mahogany desk.
