Helena, Mont, September 7.-Woodrow Wilson and the democratic party. Col onel Roosevelt told the people of Mon tana today, had nothing to propose for dealing effectively with the trust problem. Wall street was so well protected with the policy of the administration, he said, that it was praying "give us another dis solution'
 Colonel Roosevelt added that Mir. Will sons proposal was to do exactly nothing by continuing in the same course the Taft administration had pursued. The proposal of the progressiyes. he said, was to put a stop to the continuance of the Taft-Wilson programme Of further legalization of monopoly under the guise of a make believe assault on monopoly speeches, most of them little talks to peo- pie who gathered at the settlements along the way.
 Mr. Roosevelt in his address before the Montana progressive state convention re- ferred to the recent speech of Woodrow Wilson regarding the proposal of the progressive party for an interstate in dustrial commission to regulate large cor porations.
 Answers Governor Wilson
 "A couple of days ago." he said, MT. Wilson in a speech in New York said that q body of men would not have the wis dom necessary to enable them to regulate the industrial processes of the country. There is no more difficulty in regulating the Standard Oil or the Steel corpora ton than in regulating big railroad. We have actually made the interstate cont merce law work. We have found by the test of actual work that the way to con- trol the railroads is by increasing the power of the interstate commerce com mission-by regulating and controlling those railroads and not by any develop ment of the antitrust law.
 What l want to see done with our industrial concerns Is to see an Interstate industrial commission and board which shall handle the Standard Oil. the steel trust, the tobacco trust and every big trust through administrative action just as the interstate commerce commission handles the railroads and with 9 power extended beyond that of the interstate commerce commission. MT. Wilson neea not bother himself finding men to ad- minister such a law. If he cannot find them I will. I will guarantee to find men who will be able to understand ana supervise and regulate the business of those great industrial corporations.
 MT Wilson's proposal is to continue in exactly the same course that the Taft administration now is continuing, for the differences between the republican and democratic platforms on this matter are merely differences of sound and fury and not of sense. MT. Wilson's proposal Is to regulate competition by "dfssolving trusts in the way the Standard oil and the Tobacco trusts were dissolved"
 Want Another Dissolution
 You know the prayer in Wall street now is, Give us another dissolution" Wall street likes to have it's property dis solved in that way.
 "On the contrary, the proposal of the progressives is to put a stop to the con- tinuance of the Taft-Wison programme of further legalization of monopoly under the guise of make believe assault on monopoly
 There Is no Wall street man engaged in big business of the kind to which our people object; there is not a trust mag nate who doesn't regard with utter deris- ion the talk of interfering with monopo- lies along the lines indicated by MT. Will son and his supporters.
 '.The sum of the matter, therefore. Is this: MT. Wilson, like MT. Taft, has nothing to propose in this matter, for the differences between the proposals in the republican and the democratic platforms on the trust question merely are differ ences of declamation Both sets of pro- posals indicate nothing but a vague, pug zled and hopeless purpose feeby to con tinue the present futile policy of at tempting to regulate the trusts by noth- ing but succession of long drawn and ineffective lawsuits. On the contrary, our proposals are definite and concise and are based on successful action along kindred lines in the past.
