Helena. Mont. Sept. AFTER day OF
hsndshskIns and rear platform eN-
changes with comrades who rode In from
the surrounding cattle country, Theodore
Roosevelt wound up his jaunt across
Montana and the first week OF his long
campaign trip with a speech here to-
night,
The colonel addressed the third party
convention now in session here under the
guiding hand OF Senator Dixon, the
Roosevelt campaign manager. Big Bust
ness" was the theme Of his speech. ana
he asssiled both the Democratic and ke-
publican schemes for curbing monopoly
He vigorously defended the Progressive
party idea for an industrial commission
and asserted that talk Of controlling the
trusts by lawsuit under the present anti
trust law was the "yeriest nonsense.
Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Dixon
held long conference over the polucal
outlook. The colonel will start for spo-
kane tomorrow, and will spend sunday
Oh his train. 3.
Until he reached Helena Colonel Roose-
Welt had an easy day. The stops in cross
Ing Montana were few. but at each sta
lion ii. found a lot of followers,
Always Remembered.
The ranchman who wanted TO renew ac-
uuaintance with the colonel and who pro-
fs.sed 10 have known him when he was
cattle puncher was feature at every stop.
The colonel always remembered him per-
fectly" and there would be an interchange
IN COW country vernacular, of views on
cattle raising, sheep herdinG bucking
broncos branding irrigation and similar
topics
"T always liked a sorrel" shouted the
colonel at Big Horn as a cowboy astride
frey pony chased the train for half
mile
At one point several rangers fred their
pistols into the air. and the colonel grinned
and whooped Bully ~
Everywhere the cowboy contingent was
in evidence. and their mustangs pranced
among men. women and children. VINO
scrambled 10 shake the colonel's hand or
called loudly for speech.
Each time the colopel referred 70 his
ranching DAYS and incidentally whacked
the Amalgamated Copper Company
Il want YOU TO stand with the new
party against Amalgamated Copper, the
colonel told those surrounding the station
III Billings. II am willing 10 give Anal
gamated Copper its rights. II has right
10 cast one vote and have il counted, but
II has no right to control conventions and
delegates 10 national conventions. Anal
samated Copper doesn't like me. Maybe

Up Ahead Of Companions.
The first call for Colonel Roosevelt to-
day was at Miles City Mont. about 7:l5
a. m. Nobody aboard the special train
was up except the colonel. and when he
found a gathering Of about a hundred
men at the station he said:
Il thought maybe some Of you would
he down here, so I got up. The rest Of
my worthless party is asleep"
The colonel grinned and resumed: i
bet " we had them on a ranch and the
cook said All set they'd tumble OUT
At Rosebud a bibulous person inter
,upted the colonel several times.
why don't you make a regular speech
and take a little wider range" yelled
the man.
4 constable seized the offender and
took him away.
who is that fellow asked the colo
mel
"Oh. he's only sheep man." answered
some one and the colonel looked rather
oueerly. as he was once a sheep man
himself
Likes strsus Nomination.
Colonel Roosevelt learned to-day of the
nomination Of oscar s. straus az Pro-
Sressive candidate for Governor Of New
York.
That's fine :" he said. Il am greatly
grstifed."
In his address before the Montana Pro-
gressive state convention. the colonel
refereed TO, the recent speech of Woodrow
Wilson. regarding the proposal OF the
Progressive party for an interstate in
dustrlal Commission TO regulate large
corporations, and said:
couple of days ago Mr. Wilson In
a speech in New YORK. said that a body
Of men would not have the wisdom
necessary TO enable them 10 regulate the
industrial processes OF the country
the Standard Oil or the Steel corpora
ton than In regulating a big railroad.
We have actually made the interstate
commerce la% work. We have found
by the test of actual work that the way
TO control the railroads Is by increasing
the power of the interstate commerce
commission---by regulating and controll-
ing those railroads and not by any devel-
opment OF the antitrust law.
What / want TO see done with our in
dustrial concerns is TO see an interstate
Industrial commission and board which
shall handle the Standard Oil, the Steel
trust, the Tobacco trust and every big
trust through administrative action. just
as the interstate commerce commission
handles the railroads, and with a power
extended beyond that OF the interstate
commerce commission
Mr.. Wilson need not bother himself
finding men TO administer such a law.
IL he cannot find them. | will i will
10 understand and supervise and regulate
the business OF these great Industrial cor
porations.
MIR. Wilson's proposal is to continue
in exactly the same course that the Taft
administration now Is continuing, for the
differences between the Republican and
Democratic platforms on this matter are
merely differences of sound and fury and
not OF sense Mr.. Wilson's proposal is
10 regulate competition by "dissolving'
trusts in the way the Standard Oil and
the Tobacco trusts were dissolved"
You know the prayer in Wall Street
now is "Give us another dissolution"
Wall Street likes 10 have its property
dissolved In that way.
