risburg and York today, and in
each city he made a speech in the
rain. Aat both places he wore a dark
rain coat and light rubbers while
speaking, to protect him from the
storm. The president left Washington
in a special train this morning in
company with United States Senators
Penrose and Knox of Pennsylvania and
returned to the national capital this
evening. He enjoyed the trip i'm
mensely and except for a slight
hoarseness he did not suffer from the
rain. He was in good spirits when
he left York. Pa, and said he had
spent a most pleasant day.
After his speech in Harrisburg the

shortly before o'clock and was driv-
en- TO the Union station where he
boarded his special car for York

driven around the race track. Rain
fell during the drive, and the presi-
dents face was bespattered with mud
when he left his carriage and mount
ed a platform in the center of the
grounds from which he made the
second speech. The str eets of York

crowded with people and the presl-
dent was given a continuous ovation.
At the conclusion of fls speech he was
driven TO a station L. the suburbs at
which he boarded the train for Wash

In his address at York, President
Roosevelt said in part:
There Is every reason why the gov
ernment should exercise a constantly
increasing supervision over and con-
troll of the great fortunes used in bus
mess so as to see that the great COR
poratlons and the great fortunes gem

be so used as to be in the interest and
not against the interest of the ordi-
nary people--the general public. New

she should do so. But having finally

has been cast unhesitatingly upon the
right side, and has been found irre-
