cost Of living, Theodore Roosevelt as.
serted in a campaign speech tonight.
The causes Of high prices in the main
were international. Colonel Roosevelt
declared that in some instances trusts
had forced up prices and pointed TO
the record of Henry l.. Stimson, republi.
can candidate for governor as a prose
cutor of corporations which had violated
the Law "a proof, that IL elected, he
would do all the governor Of a state
could do TO prevent artificial initiation Of
values.
The colonel spoke here twice tonight
and Their started for New York whence
he In to depart for Iowa three hours
after his arrival.
In his speech here tonight, Colonel
Roosevelt said In part;
"Fourteen years ago | was In Buffalo
speaking in the campaign for Mr.. Nc.
Kinley against Mr.. Bryan and at that
time our opponents held the republicans
responsible because prices were too low.
You remember that Mr.. Bryan's great
complaint was hat we never could get
wheat up TO the dollar limit. Now, four.
teen years after, the complaint is that
prices are too high. Real suffering has
unquestionably been caused because
prices have gone up, but the cost of
living has increased.
GAS Mr.. Stimson pointed out the 9th.
or night, there has been u worldwide
movement toward higher prices during
the last few years, a movement due to
various causes, some of which undoubt.
edly will be changed by time"

trolled newspaper in New York against
him. II Mr. Dix was not wanted In
Once by the great corporations which
have more effect in raising the high
prices Of living than any other agency
Of purely national rs distinguished from
international significance you would no,
and them supporting Mr.. Dix as eager
ly as they are supporting him in thi:
campaign.

fought suit after suit to successful con
