Herschel V. Jones expresses concern that suing the Northern Securities Company under the Sherman Act is being perceived in Minnesota as President Roosevelt allying himself with Minnesota Governor Samuel Rinnah Van Sant. Van Sant’s policies have split the Minnesota Republican party and Jones believes that Van Sant’s decisions are too politically motivated. He does not object to Roosevelt’s action but opposes an alliance with Governor Van Sant.
