Not a Matter of Money.

I'm not trying to put Mr.. Roosevelt in
hole said .rov. Wilson, in referring 10
his declaration that the United States
Steel Corporation was behind the third
party program i'll thought.
Il am simply trying to show that Mr..
Roosevelt has the viewpoint of the trusts
ana that We cannot afford TO have man
PRESIDENT OF the United States who mas
that viewpoint.
1t is matter of perfect Indifference to
me where Mr.. Roosevelt gets MS money,
but it is a matter of great deal of dit
ference to me where he gets his ideas.
And ne got his IDEAS with regard to the
Regulation of monopoly from the gentle
men VINO control the United States Steel
Corpora ton.
Trusts Ideas, Not Wilson's.
Il am ready to admit that the steel
corporation has perfect right to enter
tain its own ideas about this and to urge
them upon the people of the United
States but l want to say right now that
those ideas are not my ideas, and that
am certain the corporation would not
promote any idea which interfered with
Its monopolleS.
And inasmuch as 1 hope and intend to
interfere with monopoly just as much as
possible, l cannot subscribe to those ar

Wilson Explains Charge.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, October Gov.
Woodrow Wilson in his speeches at Tope-
ka, Kan, and here last night replied to
Col Roosevelts request at Albany, n. Y,
Monday night that the democratic nomi-
nee prove or retract' the declaration
that the United States Steel Corporation
is behind the third party program for
regulating trusts.
The governor reiterated that the steel
corporation was behind the third party
program in thought and added that he
knew nothing or any financial support.
The governor amplitied his position, and
made new attack on the tariff policies
of both his opponents.
Il understand from the newspapers"
said Gov. Wilson in his Topeka speech,
that Mr.. Roosevelt was distressed by
my suggestion the other day that the
United states Steel Corporation was back
of his plan tor controlling the trusts.
Did Not Mean Money Support
He interpreted my remark to mean
that they were supporting him with their
| money. 1 was not thinking about money.
L do not know whether they are support
ing him with their money or not; it does
not make any difference. What L meant
was they are supporting him with their
thought and their thought is not our
/ thought. i meant, and l say again, that
the kind of control which he proposes is
| the kind of control that the United States
Steel Corporation wants.
Il am perfectly willing to admit that
| they think il is best for the country. My
point is that this is method conceived
from the point of view of the very men
who are to be controlled and that that is
just the wrong point of view from which
| TO conceive it..
