COLONEL SPEAKS AT M'ALLisTER, OKLA, LAST NIGHT AND HE
 STARTS EASTWARD.
Says Wilson Doesn't Even Know
 Whether His Party is Pro gressiye or Not.

4utAieStcI, Ohid.s oeDl. Zf.--tIOVef- nor Wilson's record as democrat was taken up by Colonel Roosevelt in an address here tonight. He made his first speech in Tulsa, Okla, and spent the afternoon in Oklahoma City.
 T noticed two statemens by MT. Wilson, said Colonel Roosevelt in his speech tonight, "one appearing in the Sunday papers and one today, which are comically at variance with each other.
 In one Mir. Wilson expressed great satisfaction with his party. He says the democratic party has had substan- italy the same program for 16 years If that is so. MT. Wilson did not know it, for 16 years ago he voted against MT. Bryan, He has forgotten that lit tie detail of his past life and the ex- pressions he used about Mr Bryan.
 More than that, the party hasn't had the same program for 16 years. it hdS hau S'CiJ SohtciFdDAc hlitu Ol a program. MT. Bryan ran the first time, MT. Parker next then Mr. Bryan ran again Now it is MT. Wilson. MT Wilson knows perfectly well that the party wouldn't venture for one mo ment to adopt its program of 16years ago. It's program then was free silver. MT. Wilson left it because it's program was free silver.
 T ask Mir Wilson whether he means that if the program today was free silver, he would vote for it, and if not, why he bolted He can choose either horn of the dilemma. but he has got to sit on one of the two horses.
 Speaking in Pennsylvania, MT. Will son said that while he was free trader, he was not enough of a free trader to hurt. He said: You do not suppose that as democrats are en- gagged in every kind of enterprise, they are going to cut their own throats ? Why didn't he think of that in 1896. He took the view then that if the pro gram of the democratic party shouid be put into effect 1t would cut the throats of the people. Either what he said then was not true or what he says now is not true. He cannot be consistent with both parts of his own record.
 "T'ne San Francisco Call, an anti Roosevelt paper, said in it's issue of last Sunday that MT. Wilson had said ::
 "'We are at very critical juncture in the history of the democratic party. There is only one condition upon which the democratic party can gain the confidence of the nation, and that is it should have itself committed through and through to progressive principles.' This is the statement of the democratic candidate in the mid dle of the campaign. He even doesn't know whether his party Is progressiae or not"
 Earlier in his speech tonight Colo mel Roosevelt said:
 T noticed the other day that MT. Wilson was said to be having differ ences with the democratic bosses, both in New York and New Jersey. That is partly because of the differ ence between the way in which the progressives carried out their move ment last spring, and the way in which | MT Wilson's nomination was procured | at Baltimore, We progressives fought | the bosses, hoisted the black flag and neither gave nor received quarter. "In the democratic convention there was no such fight. Tn the primaries Mir. Clark beat MT. Wilson by more than 100000 votes, but none of the bosses at Baltimore paid the slightest heed to the primaries The people were not represented at Baltimore. Taggart and Sullivan were for MT. Wilson, and they finally forced the convention to acquiesce in the nom nation of Mir Wilson"
 Colonel Roosevelt left tonight for | Arkansas.
