Sioux City. Sept. ls.--Firm support
for Dr. Harvey +. Wiley in his eontro'
versy over pure food laws stood out
prominently in speech by Governor
Wilson here yesterday.
! He drew attention to what he con.
sidered the ineifectuality of boards OF
experts such as the board of chemists
established under Roosevelt. He used
| this as an illustration of his objection
| to commission or board of experts to
handle either the tariff or trust prob
lens.
Wilson made clear his objections to
the tariff board idea as contained in
the Republican and Progressive plat
forms, declaring it would mean a post
ponement of tariff legislation.
He distinguished between business
and trusts saying: "a trust is big
business that has an arrangement to
get sid of competition and big business
survives competition by conquering in
the field of intelligence and economy. !
am for big business and against trusts"

a few minutes and a score of working
men appeared at the rear of the plat
form and called:
Wilson, show your face here"
The candidate heard them and left his
breakfast. He stepped down off the
platform and stood in the rain without
hat.
After the handshake he stood and
chatted until the train started
