BIames "Men Like wilson

Colonel Roosevelt was especially
worked I'D over the Wilson charge that
the trusts had grown faster in the
Roosevelt administration than in any
other. The failure OF the government
efficiently TO grapple with the trusts,
snapped Colonel Roosevelt. "is due al
most exclusively TO the attitude Of men
like Mr.. Wilson"
With marked satire, Mr.. Roosevelt
said that Governor Wilson's knowledge
OF what had occurred during the evil
administration was gained from the
seclusion OF the classroom" at time
when he was still taking the position
Of an ultra conservative and was being
carefully groomed for the Presidency
by George B. Harvey and other repre-.
sentatives OF Wall Street interests
During his general broadside at Gov
ernor Wilson the colonel indirectly
criticized the President for releasing
Charles w. Morse. Discussing his at
titude toward large trusts, the colonel
said:
Now in the case OF Standard Oil. II We
had the power that / would adVocate.
the government would be supreme. As
long as the Standard OIL company De-
hayed itself and met every REQUIREMENTS
of the government no interference what
ever would be had with II. But II the
Standard Oil Company persistently miI
behaved itself. the government autnon-
ties would appoint receiver and run
the concern until they received practcal
assurance that the directions OF the gov.
ernment thereafter would be complied
with and at Il rr.ns any man bebaved blsn srter the
manner OF Morse the government woui9
treat him as II treated Morse-ano ~
were in power would not pardon MIN
afterward.
The colonel did add one member TO
the Ananias Club to-day. At Ottawa,
Kan, where he spoke late this after
noon. he was told that W. II. Thomp-
son. Democratic candidate for the Sell
ate. had charged that the Roosevelt
campaign fund eight years ago was
Sle.OOO.OOO. To this he replied:
understand that this man is charging
this. don't know NE maine snu aoh
want 10, but when he makes that state
,nent ne knows Il is false. He Knows
th.rs ,s not "A particle OF truth In II, and
he utters Il because II is false. He knows
no such sum was spent, nor was sum
even remotely approXimatng ".
After Burton, Too.
Mr.. Roosevelt lambasted ex-senator
Burton, of Kansas Joining together the
names Of Burton, Penrose and Arch
bold The colonel said he understood
Burton, who was sent to prison during
the Roosevelt administration. is now "A
supporter of Wilson and Is running for
the office OF state legislator.
"See the company they gather to-
sether." added the colonel. repeating
his argument that there was so par
tisanship among the bosses OF the old
parties, and all were out TO beat only
him.
Roosevelt's day In the Sunhower
State was a great event for the local
third termers. As soon as his train
crossed the state line this morning he
was Joined by Senator Bristow, Repre-
sentative Murdock, Governor Stubbs
William Allen White, Colonel W. r.
Nelson. Henry Allen and other RAM
pant Bull Mooses. who exulted every
time the colonel took shot at the
common enemy on his trip through the
state. The Kansas crowds were more
responsive than those Of Nebraska
and Mr.. Roo.evelt was loudly ac-
claimed in the insurgent territory.
Colonel Roosevelt will spend to-mor-
row with William Allen White at En-
poria, and will make few more
Monday. II Is planned that part OF
the candidates time tomorrow shall
be devoted to debating speeches TO the
