The Constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation.

When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.
