SAYS WILSON MISSTATES
Johnson Defines the Progress
sives' Trust Attitude.

Harrisburg, Penn, Oct. H.-That Gov
ernor Wilson and his advocates have mis-
represented the attitude Of the Progress
sive party toward the trusts was the
charge made here tonight by Governor
Johnson. the third party's candidate for
Vice-President In a speech at the Audi
forum. Among other things he said:
The Democratic candidate for President
and his advocates persistently repeat and
widely disseminate statement In regard
TO our attitude on trusts that Is without
foundation, and which does not rise above
mere misrepresentation. They assert that
We intend to legalize monopoly. This Is
the Veriest nonsense. We propose 10 util-
lie every law that exists for the repres-
sion and suppression OF the trusts, and
then by other enactments supply any de-
fciencies, and in the very law itself to
lay down certain requirements and then
have the industrial commission that we
propose see that the trusts live up to
these requirements. We expect to put the
very requirement In the law itself.
What Mr. Wilson intends TO do no one
knows, and thus far Mr.. Wilson has not
told He, and those who are making the
contest In his behalf, content themselves
with glttering generalities. resounding
platitudes and distractions stated in met
aphor. They point to the awfulness of
trusts, the, wrongs accomplished, the tyr
amy and the ike, and then mlsstate
our position Indeed, much do they say
about prosecution and falling offenders.
and yet, with criminal laws existing I'm
New Jersey. no trust magnate has either
been prosecuted or Jailed by Mr.. Wilson.
This address ended the Governors cam
paign in Pennsylvania. He was well
pleased with his receptions. especially
among the miners and railroad men, who
have given him a warm welcome After

him from all over the country were
unanimous that the candidates OF the
Progressive party were gaining support

az think we will carry New York, and
I did not think 30 a week ago. Senator
Dixon said. II am certain we VIII get
Pennsylvania by more than lOo,Vo votes

stiffening of sentiment, and we are GER
tain 70 carry Northern New Jersey ols
and strong. The vote for Colonel keose-
Welt will paralyze the old parties
The reason for the rapid gains said 10
have been made by the ProgressiVes was
asc-ibed by Senator Dixon as principa'iS
due 20 the fact that the attempt 70 assaS-
sInate Colonel Roosevelt has opened the
aves Of tho voters throughout the country
and that they realized that Mr.. Koose'ei'
was the greatest living American
The thought that Mr.. Roosevelt mac
