It has taken firm hold on our national moral sense, and when an issue does that it has won.
The conservation issue is a moral issue, and the heart of it is this: For whose benefit shall our natural resources be conserved--for the benefit of us all, or for the use and profit of the few?
This truth is so obvious and the question itself so simple that the attitude toward conservation of any man in public or private life indicates his stand in the fight for public rights.
All monopoly rests on the unregulated control of natural resources and natural advantages, and such control by the special interests is impossible without the help of politics.

The alliance between business and politics is the most dangerous thing in our political life.

It is the snake that we must kill.

The special interests must get out of politics, or the American people will put them out of business.

There is no third course.
Because the special interests are in politics, we as a Nation have lost confidence in Congress.
