L, was there that he made MS Iohses'
speech Of the afternoon.
II have found that the subjects 10
be discussed in this campaign are 50
tremendous that they can haroiy DC
handled In speeches from the rear
end OF the train" SAID the Governor.
Moreover, the rear platform Is not the
Democratic platform this time we
are at the front and not at the oack.
But l must say that since l have got
into Michigan / have felt a singular
stimulation because We have stopped
at several other cities and everywhere
there is the same spirit OF hope ana
confidence.
Genuinely Interested.
L can explain it only this way thA'
We are genuinely interested in the one
subject that lies nearest my own heart
namely. setting the government free
Because whether 1t was due intention
ally or not. there is no doubt about II
that our government in recent years
has been seriously entangled with spe-
cial interests Of various kinds ana the
men who got il entangled cannot ger
If disentanEled. There Is the whole
matter. There is no time to discuss
here how we got into II or now we
are to get cut Of II. The point Is that
the people Of the United States nave
made up their minds to get out OF II.
and there IS only one team ready to
do the business, and that is the Demo-
cratic team. am speaking in the
terms Of q man who has been forming
a football team at college. l know
the third team Is not organized. IL
does not even know the signals ana the
regular Republican team is very much
weakened. 1t has lost some OF It's
principal players But there have oeen
no losses on the Democratic side On
the contrary, there have been great
many gains and the game is familiar
10 the Democrats that we have TO play
now
Attacks Roosevelt.
Trusts fiourished more under
former President Rooseveit's admins
tracion than under any other in the
history of the country" This was the
way Governor Wilson replied. in a
speech here tonight to assertions
Of Colonel Roosevelt At Trinidad, Col,
yesterday, taking exception TO the
Democratic nominees declaration tnat
during the recent investigation by the
House, Nessrs. Gary and Perkins suG-
Rested the plank in the Progressive
Republican platform proposing FED
eral commission to regulate the
trusts.
II understand tina. the leader Of the
THIRD party" said the Governor, mas
recently said that he did not suggest
this change just the other day, that
he had suggested 1t while he was Pres
ident. in one Of his messages to Con-
gress, during that same term OF the
presidency in which trusts grew faster
and more numerously than IN any
other administration We have had. and
that his conclusion was-he doesn't
say this, but this must be the infer
ence-that his conclusion was that the
trusts had come to stay: that 10 was
not possible to pu, them out Of bus
mess: IL was not possible to check
their supremacy: that all YOU could do
was to accept them as necessary evils
and appoint an Industrial commission
which would tell them how they were
to do their business. not an industrial
commission which should tell you how
they handle the field of competition.
but an Industrial commission which
should take care OF the people Of the
United States by saying 20 these
trusts:
Now. 60 easy: don't hurt anybody.
We believe that when you are re-
minded Of your moral duties. you are
rot malevolent. you are beneadent,
you are big. but you are not cruel
