dates, many of whom meet it with
sincere pledges.
The meeting of the other candi-
dates on the real issues of the cam
paign is perhaps the most striking
illustration of the profound differ
ence between their personalities and
followings. Wilson represents his
toric party. Roosevelt represents
only himself and an enthusiastic
personal following far more interest
ed in himself than in legislative is
sues.
He responds to this by the same
slight indifference to legislative is
sues and the same high preponder-
ance given to his personality. Give
him the presidency a third time,
and he will rule the people for their
good as he did before is not only
the spirit of his speeches, but that
of his personal following. 1t is a
curious demonstration of public feel
ing, never witnessed before in the
United States, unless Andrew Jack
son evoked something like it.
Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor his
applauders review or listen to his
opponents revival of his seven years
record or tariff, trust, land and cor.
poration legislation. In spite of his
previous promises, the popular de-
mand for rectification of these laws
was no more satisfied in his admin
istration than in Taft's.
What hope those who care for
them base on third term, financed
and supported by high protection ma
chine politicians and managers of
, the trusts he protected and favored
as president, is one of the profound
mysteries Of this singular campaign.
The democratic party and their
leader, Governor Wilson, are com.
,paratively free from any recent rec
ord of legislative neglect of popular
demands. The defeat of Cleveland
sound tariff reform by the demo
cratic party machine is twenty years
old and the present house pleads
the excuse of opposition control OF
the rest of the government.
! The historic democratic tariff ira
dition differs widely from the free
trade or tariff for revenue only
reached in platforms. Wilson rec
ognizes this and his speeches, like
IHe uouse c5lSldtlOH, forecast uo
more than the just reduction of OPP
pressive monopoly duties so long
promised by republican platforms
without performance.
The clearest program of sound
and effective trust legislation in al
/ parties contemplates national
incorporation and regulation act like
the interstate commerce act origi
nally set in action by a democratic
congress in Cleyeland's first admin
! iStration.

BIG NOISE DID NOT
GREET THE COLONEL

According to a Mankato gentle
man prominent in politics, the much
heralded visit of Colonel Roosevelt
to the twin cities was not the sue
cess which certain ST. Paul journal
lists have painted it. Enthusiasm
was at all times within decorous
bounds and the wild demonstration
by thousands of admirers at the
station resembled the aristocratic
kid-gloVed plaudits at an English
cricket match. Aerial trips on the
part of enthusiasts hats were rare,
sore threats were rarer and st. Paul
slumbered on undisturbed. The bull
moose refused to below for want
of operators and stage hands. 49,
A decorous and mildly interested
assembly saw the peoples hope
alight from his private car and
walk briskly to waiting automo-
bile. So far as can be learned, the
colOners progress was not seriously
impeded by the onslaught of the ad,
miring thousands. Cheers were as
rare as Old Soils appearance when
the clouds overcast the sky.
1t was the fond hope and expecta,
ton of those nearest the throne that
Colonel Roosevelt would attack the
present state administration and tear
it limb from limb. At the conclu.
sion of the coloners activities, how,
ever, the state administration was
on hand with a CHEEKY smile and q
fond farewell. Instead of attacking
Governor Eberhart, Mr. Roosevelt
received him to his bosom and seat
ed him at his right hand. They
spent the day in a long lovefeast

and woe to any member of the i'm,
mortal committee of fifty who dared
to interrupt.
Those of the progressive element
who had hoped to witness Governor
Eberhart's regulation to the list OF
undesirables as standpatter, were
not to be satisfied. Neither did Mr.
Roosevelt extol the candidacy Of any
of the numerous aspirants for guber
Material honors.
To the committee of fifty, the
colonel sent word that he was "toC
tired" to see them in the morning
and an auto trip took up his after
noon. Those of the immortal mar
tyrs of fifty souls, who had hoped
to entice the colonel into a meeting
and there coerce him into a declara
ton for some progressive candidate
were again euchred.
At the fair grounds, however, the
immortal fifty made decided hi
as cheer-leaders. To the press rep
resentatives standing in their midst
they made it appear that the entire
In reality, it was far too hot to
cheer anyone or anything but "long
cool, refreshing drinks" and other
portions of the fair grounds were
far from deserted while Roosevelt
spoke. -.
Colonel Roosevelt evaded a dec
laration regarding the third party in
Minnesota, he curr. ed favor from
Governor Eberhart, and in the opin
ion of the gentleman mentioned, die
much to boom the candidacy of Viii
liam Howard Taft.

WHAT ARE THE REAL
CAMPAIGN ISSUES

every one of whom is pledged to sat
isfaction of the public demand for
practical modification of the tariff,
the industrial trust, the land and
natural wealth, the corporation and
labor and other neglected laws, is
far less important than the choice of
the one most trusted for perform
ance and the choice of a majority
in congress of whatever party that
will cooperate with him.
Debate of this kind has been confined
so far to Colonel Roosevelt and Gov.
ernor Wilson. The record of Presi
dent Taft is so high in intention, sc
low in performance because of the
sluggish refusal of congress to keep
the campaign pledges of the party
that public interest turns naturally
from him to congressional candi

be built is an agricultural hall. The
