Chicago, September 16,-Through Ohio
 and Indiana Gov. Woodrow Wilson did
 some impromptu campaigning today that was as vigorous as it was unexpected. No previous arrangement had been made Ifor speeches and the train schedule was twisted by delays early in the day. but crowds gathered along the route and Gov
 ernor Wilson made nearly dozen speeches from his car.
 He replied to former Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who charged in recent speech that Governor Wilson. if elected
 would be boss-controlled. When the dem |oeratic candidate reached Logansport he Init at Mr. Beveridge to large crowd T understood that in a speech mace Hast Saturday night" said Governor Will |son, "a very much esteemed friend or |mine, namely. Senator Beveridge. said |that he entertained very serious fear about me, namely, that if were elected President I would be controlled by the bosses. I never supposed that Senator Beveridge was humorist because if I |didnt know that was joke he ought to have known it. When did he ever hear |that had changed all my political habits? Definition of Boss
 .sThe way you can tell whether man lis going to be controlled by the bosses lis to judge whether he is in reach of a boss |Do you wnow what boss is? A boss is Ia political agent of certain special inter- ests, who see to it that people they can |control are put in office and that laws |they don't want are kept off the statute books, and the men who do that are the men who are interested in the great mo- nopolies of this country.
 T am sorry to observe that whereas |the republican party has practically fos- |tered the trusts and the democratic pro- |poses to prevent monopoly in this country, the third party, represented ny Senator |Beveridge, proposes to take the monopoly Into partnership with the government by accepting it as an inevitable necessity and bringing it under the regulation of law, that is to say, making it legisated .nsti- Hutton of the country. And when the men who have created monopoly are accepted partners of the government do you sup bose they are going to dispense With the |men who are their necessary agents namely, the bosses who determine who |are to occupy offices and what the legis |lation is to be?'
 Who created monoply?" interrupted |a man in the crowd, and he repeated his question several times.
 Men Who Create Monopoly 'The men who created monopoly. my |friend," continued the governor, are |the men who have taken advantage of |the protective tariff to get together to make great combinations of industry tn lxa |sure that the prices are in their own |control And every republican leader |in our generation has been in league |with those men," Who are they?' broke in another |koice
 They are the men who have set up |the great trusts" he said. "Evereybody knows the list of them. These men la re the heads of the steel trust of tne |tobacco trust. of the Standard oil trust land of all the other trusts--that every body knows. I am surprised that you |didn't know the names of them before, |These men have supported those who |have controlled our government in the |last 15 years, and they are support |ing them still And l, for my part, do mot entertain any hope of the govern |nent of the United States being freed |from the control of trusts and the con- trusts, through the instrumentality of |the adoption of the trusts into the |care of the government itself" The governor was well received Throughout the day. He shook hands with people who flocked to the rear platform and waved greetings to those |not so near The nominee reached |Chicago only seven minutes late and left at SOS o'clock for sioux City.
