Trip Through Indiana.
Chicago. Oct 5.-Governor Wood
row Wilson made strenuous cam
paign sweep through Indiana yester-
day. covering a great portion Of the
state in a special train and making
six set speeches before large crowds.
He reached Chicago at nightfall, spent
two hours with Joseph E. Davies. sec
retary Of the national committee, and
and continued his trip to Omaha an6i
Lincoln. Neb.
The candidate carried his argument
through a variety of issues but dwelt
principally IN the trusts, the tariE.
the high cost of living and labor &C
ditions.
Governor Wilson developed in his
speech at Kokomo, Ind, an attaci. on
his two opponents.
"The two men who lead the ywo
sectors of the republican party" saif:
the governor. have in turn presided
over the very processes that have got
us into trouble. You know that be-
fore the primaries that preceded the
national convention. these two gen.
tlemen were travelling about the
country telling what they thought
] understand 1t what they
were debating was this very interest
ing question: Which one of them
had been the more deeply implicated
in the things which had discredited
the republican party That was a
very interesting question but as i
democrat I regarded 1t as none Of my
and 1t was very delicate matter for
an outsider to express an opinion.
But IL we believe both Of them. then
we know that there is practically no
difference in the leadership Of those
two sections of the republican party;
because both of these gentlemen have
had an opportunity to do the things
that they now are protesting ':ieir
willingness to do and hav~ not done
them.
Roosevelt Has Been Trusted.
mo man in the United States was
ever more trusted. was ever more
blindly trusted. than the leader
the third party during the seven and
a half years that he was president
Of the United States. 1t is possible
that he has just discovered the deep
that 1t required defeat in .he -rSt
Chicago convention to convincs him
that he had been doing wrong: is
1t possible that he now for the first
time sees that he wasted seven and
a half years during which he could
have led the American people to any
triumph of reform to which he had
chosen to lead them? So that when
I look at these two parties look at
the top Of them, and say I don't see
anything in it. I don't see any more
prospect in the one direction than in
the other. And in the meantime. as
many a man in Indiana can bear m
witness. the democratic party has
stood devoted to a single program.
