N St. Paul, September 1s.-Gov. Woodrow sWilson struck the trail of Colonel Roose- Melt for the first time in the campaign to- rday when he whirled through a pro. rsramme of speeches and receptions in the ytwin cities. He started for Chicago and fDetro.t deeply pleased, he said, with the ereeeption accorded him.
 When the Wilson party reached Min Nneapolis this morning the Commercial 3club had breakfast ready and the gov ternor talked 20 minutes on trusts and big Nblsiness.
 Tribute to Wilson Then motoring to the University of Min knesota, Governor Wilson passed crowds Eof school children who waved flags and cheered. At the university President George H. Vincent introduced the gov ernor as "a man who had removed the <stigma of the doctrinaire from academic life, schoolar of politics. a scholar in politics, a scholarly politician. and a fstatesman.'
 It was the opening day of the university land as the former president of Princeton ssaid it was indeed a familiar scene. The rsovernor made no political speech, but emphasized the point which he was wont 1 to make in his speeches as university 'president-that the students of this coun- { try did not take themselves seriously, Ffreferring to be boys, rather than at tacking the serious problems of life He argued that most undergraduates waited Tor their diplomas before starting in life when they should have running start as commencement day arrived At the parade grounds the governor in the longest speech of the day declared i that the national campaign was not one or personalities, but issues. He paid trib- ute to President Taft, and when on an- other occasion the crowd construed that the governor had referred to Colonel
 Roosevelt, the speaker quickly corrected the impression.
 The governor reiterated his objections to the plank in the progressive platform, advocating restraint of trusts by an in- dustrial commission.
 Opens His Mind
 sT simply wanted to show you the in- side of my mind" said the nominee in conclusion, 'so that there need be no mis- understanding between us; so that you would not think l was one of those wild fellows running amuck because I kne,v something was the matter and didn't ex- actly know what. This is no Donnybrook lair. l have got my shillalah, but 1 am not hitting every head I see I have se- lected the heads, and if they'll only en- gage in little hard thinking underneath the endangered craniums, they needn be hit at all. I was inducted at Sioux City into an association by which I be- came good Indian, but that has not bred in me the desire for scalps. T. am only possessed with the passion to create condition that will be even for every body"
 In urging subordination of the personal SIde of the campaign, the governor said he would not be one of those who, if de- feated, would say the peopIpe had made q mistake. Privately, he added, he might think so, but he would not say so.
 T am good enough sport to abide by your decision" said the governor amid cheers.
 At St. Paul tonight he addressed a crowd which filled the auditorium
