President Roosevelt agrees with Lyman Abbott’s position, and says that he went as far as he thought he could go in his public criticism of Judge Daniel Thew Wright. Roosevelt thinks that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis helped corporations by imposing excessive fines, and that Wright did the same service for the worst labor leaders.
