President Roosevelt thanks Judge Lurton for the speech, and says he will ask Alabama Representative William Richardson about it in person. Roosevelt would like to speak with Lurton about the injunctive process in the railway cases the government is currently prosecuting. Roosevelt has told both Governor B. B. Comer of Arkansas and Governor George L. Sheldon of Nebraska that the injunctive process cannot be abolished, but Roosevelt would like to discuss the ways it is being used with Lurton.
