To-day's work was begun at Akron, O.,
followed by a stop at Canton, o.. the home
OF President Mckinley. After a hard days
campaigning through Ohio and West vir-
g;nia Governor Roosevelt reached Par
kersburg tonight and addressed a large
audience. paying special attention to Sen
ator Jones's denial that the American Cot
ton Company is a trust. The Rough Rider
produced a statement Of the company and
argued that its own figures. prospectus and
plan of procedure entitled it to the name
of a trust. He said that In floating its
stock the American Cotton Company had
boasted of its ability TO control the price
of cotton. and entered the market with
the expressed intention of cornering the
crop ard mastering the market. To this
end. after the established method OF trusts.
the American Cotton Company had, he
said. bought out and gained control OF
three or four smaller factories having pat
ents which enabled them to make the round
lap bale of cotton. Roosevelt accused the
cotton bale trust OF first securing prohibi-
tive advantages in freight rates, gaining
the foreign markets, squelching COMPETE
ton. and then controlling warehouses
when the money could be loaned on cotton
crops. and In every way fulfilling the most
heinous offenses that have been ascribed
TO the Standard Oil Company and other
monopolies.
