ST. LOUIS. Sept. 3,--Woodrow
Wilson's stand upon the tariff, trusts
and the minimum wage scales was
assailed by Colonel Roosevelt In
speech here today before the Missouri
progressive state convention. Colonel
Roosevelt left tonight for Iowa.
where he is to deliver an address to-
morrow. The Colonel saw nothing
of Governor Hadley, who remained at
the state capital.
Colonel Roosevelt said Governor
Wilson had paid a warm tribute to tho
progressive platform, "a tribute which
! cannot reciprocate as TO his plat
form" Turning Ia tho tariff, Col.
Roosevelt said that the governor was
diverting attention from the real Is
sues when he took up tariff changes
as the panacea for the Ills OF the
day"
Taking up Governor Wilson's crlti-
cism OF the progressive policy In re-
gard to regulation of trusts, Col.
Roosevelt asked:
III the democratic platform really
offers any hope for the solution Of
the trust question, why during the
two years that Mr.. Wilson has been
governor OF New Jersey has nothing
been done under Mr.. Wilson's lead or
even attempted by Mr.. Wilson In New
Jersey for the regulation Of trusts"
Put Out Full Ticket.
The colonel was asked to advise the
state convention as to whether II
should name a fun state ticket
II feel that you ought to-" he said.
II feel that except In the state In
which we can take over bodily either
of the old parties, we ought 10 run
a straight progressive ticket"
In his speech before the progress
sive convention, Colonel Roosevelt
said:
"Y esterday, Mr.. Wilson, alludlng to
the third party platform. asked with
that program who can differ in heart.
who can divorce himself In sympathy
from the great object OF advocating
the interests OF human being where It
is possible to advance?'
II am very glad that Mr.. Wilson
his party sympathzes with us in their
hearts, why didn't they, in their plat
form, make a program at least re-
motely resembling ours? Our sympa-
thy for the program is not only with
in our hearts, it is with our heads and
our hands, also.
Commission System.
when he comes to the tariff, Mr..
Wilson attempts to quote me, but he
is singularly unsuccessful.
1--WE are advocating the commission
system which has been tried in Ger
many and which has been one Of the
pieces Of governmental and Industrial
mechanism that has been so extraor-
dinarily successful in building up the
great prosperity Of the German en-
pire.
"I believe in protection; I believe
that If Mr.. Wilson's free trade policy
or tariff for revenue only policy is in
good faith adopted and not merely
treated as a campaign cry, widespread
good will result.
But | don't for a moment believe
that a protective tariff by itself Of
fers in any way or shape the aplution
for the economic or social injustice
against which we progresslyes are
striving.
England an Object Lesson.
Let Mr.. Wilson study what has
happened in England and in Germany
during the last forty years. During
that forty years England has been un-
der a free trade system and Germany
has had high protective tariff. Dur
ing that forty years the conditions Of
and better in Germany. Germany has
relatively 10 England all
along the line. especially in the stand
ing of her people.
"As to what Mr.. Wilson says about
that / disagree with him In toto. We
that I disagree with hi min toto. We
are only advocating what We are suro
can be done and ought to be done.
Evidently Mr.. Wilson has not studied
the conditions about the labor Of
women In factories.

New Jersey for nearly two years. II
