he stands. The biggest thing that VIII
son knows Is that he Is opposed to
Roosevelt's policies. Wilson says his
policy is to break up the big businesses
but how will he do it? AS for William

The government in the peoples hands.
These two men are more powerful than
all of the people put together and the
government must be taken out of theiC

Mr.. Talmage defended Roosevelt on
he Standard Oil contributions by as
;erting that Teddy told the committee
Z they had any donations from the
Standard Oil Co., to return the money
o them and he states that the COM
nittee promised to do so. He also
scored the newspapers for misrepre-

warned them to, beware Of Hadley as

During his address he pictured the
