to the Taft administration. He
heartily commenced one phase In it,
although he said nothing which conlu

fined himself to the work which Taft
did for the establishment Of the prln-
ciple of regulating the tariff through
a commission, and to the presidents g

with foreign interests for the applica

Roosevelt made Two speeches on
the tariff today. The first one he de-
liyered at Sioux City, Ia, and con.
tanned asTeferenee to the tariff The
second, made here this afternoon,
amplifed his views on the tariff, de-
claring that although the Payne.A,i-
rich law had given I;se TO grave dis
satisfaction, the fault lay with tne
system under which the tariff laws
are made, rather than with the men
who make them.

Starting from Omaha, Neb., early
today he crossed into Iowa, and then
across the corner of Minnesota into
South Dakota. He made speech after
speech from the platform, telling his
hearers about the political interests
At Sioux City he left his car to SPEAK
at the baseball park, which was not
large enough to hold all the Iowa2s
who wanted to hear him. Those who
could not squeeze in congregated in
rear yards to catch glimpse of the
traveller. The smaller towns, where
no stops were scheduled, sent tele-
grams ahead telling Roosevelt that
the people were waiting at the sta
ton. He stopped to talk and shake
hands. The people VINO had babies
brought them all along. The colonel
never failed to speak about them.
The people of Sioux Falls had made
great preparations and the plans
went through with dash. People
from miles around came to this city
to attend the celebration. The stree's
were a mass of waving flags and bnnt-
ing, and pictures of Roosevelt filled
the windows.
Indians, dressed in their gay finerv,
mingled with the crowds.
There was a parade In Sioux Falls
as soon as Roosevelt arrived. The
crowd almost swamped the police.
After the parade, the colonel was
taken to a huge circus tent to make
n speech. There is an auditorium IN
Sioux Falls but it is not big enough @
hold the crowds. When Roosevelt an
reared cheers burst out which lasted
several minutes. The people spent
as much time cheering as they did
listening.
Roosevelts speech in Sioux City,
which referred to the Taft admins
tration, was written on the train this
morning after the colonel had a long
talk with Dolliver who was on the
train with him.
The speech delivered In this city
was in part as follows:
