GOVERNOR WILSON CALLS AT TENTIoN TO WHAT ROOSEVELT
 WOULD BE LACKING IN.
WOULD HAVE TO STAND ALONE
Does Not Attack Principles Announced by Roosevelt but Says His Elec- tlon Would Only Lead
 to Confusion.

Buffalo, N. .Y., Sept. Ex-Governor Woodrow Wilson struck up a vigorous campaign gait today. He whirled through the city in an automobile, dc- livered six speeches. met every vari- ety of democrats among the western New York leaders and voiced for the first time warm sympathy for social reporms proposed in the third party platform. but dissented emphatically from the program in which they might be carried out.
 1t was by far his most extended ut terance of the campaign upon the prin- ciples of the Roosevelt candidacy, and those who gathered to hear him show ed tEeir approval by frequent ap- plause.
 From the moment the governor ar rived his reception was practically continuous till late tonight when he left for Trenton. Rain did not pre- vent big crowd from thronging the streets on the way from the station to a hotel where Norman E Mack, former national chairman, had ar ranged citizens reception.
 To the mutual surprise of the dem ocratic leaders, the reception turned l out to be harmony affair. William u. Connors and William H. Fitzpatrick

 The speaker here assailed the min mum wage idea and the plan of q federal commission to control monopo- lies, and continued:
 Ours is program of liberty, and theirs is program of regulation; ours is program by which we say we know the wrongs that have been committed and we can stop those wrongs, and we are not going to adopt into the governmental family the men who have done the wrongs, and license them to do the whole business of the country.
 T want you men to grasp the point, because l want to say to you right now the program that I propose does not look quite as much like acting as a providence for you as the other program looks, but l want frankly to say to you that I am not big enough to play providence, and my objection to the other program is that I don't believe there is any man that is big enough to play providence.
 What I refer to is a government of experts God forbid that in a demo cratic country we should resign the task and give the government over to experts What are we for if We are to be scientifically taken care of by smaller number of gentlemen who are the only men who understand the job? Because if we don't understand the job, then We are not free people; we ought to resign our free institu- tions and go to school to somebody and find out what we are about" At the citizens meeting in the even. | ing, Governor Wilson was greeted by the largest crowd Of his campaign. In his speech he renewed his praise of the third party said there were many noble men in it for good pur- poses, but others also for special in. dividual purposes abont which 1t was best to say little. because, he sdded he had forbidden himself the discus sion of personalities
 The governor declared that If the leader of the third party were elect
