thin01 In his platform are taken from

coming to IN for information ON the
trust question, he went to Perkins
and Perkins led him astray. Take that
plank on the trust question. and what

We are wrong. We say that God never
made man good enough to stand at
the head OF private monopoly. We
saysthat Instead OF trying to regulate
private monopolies, and that you can
regulate legitimate corporations. but
that you must not permit monopoly.
ROOsEvELTS PLAN Is TO
LET THE TRUSTS GROW
But Mr.. Roosevelt says, ..No. let the
trusts grow Let them remain, let
them be permanent let them merge
and merge, let them consolidate and
consolidate let Thorn combine and
combine, and then strike down the
power OF the state to regulate and
do not let congress bother them, and
do not perlRit the courts to disturb
them; just let the Bureau appointed
by the president regulate, and then
let me be president.
There is scheme for you. That
Is his platform. That Is his plan.
Talk about regulating. Why he tried
it for seven years and q half, and the
trusts regulated him, and when he
! got through he had more than we had
when he commenced. And one trust
went to him In the midst OF the panic
and frightened him into allowing 1t
to absorb its largest rival. The steel
trust was organized in the spring of
1901, Mr.. Roosevelt went into that
Office in the fall of 1901. When that
steel trust was organized II. put seven
hundred millions Of water into its
stock. Do you know what that means?
I was today over at Virginia CITY
and they told me that this mine, this
Comstock lode, had yielded about
$500, 100000. They told me that in
the fifty-one years since it was dis
covered that it had turned out about
$700,o00,o00. That 1t was by far the
greatest mine. the greatest vein that
has been discovered in this country
and only one other in all the world.
ONE OF MOST REMARKABLE
ILLUSTRATIONS EVER MADE
want you to think, If you can, of
the number of men who have labored
there. Look back over that train of
freight teams. Look at the coaches
that carried people in and out. Look
at the people that worked upon the
surface. Look at those who went
way down $500 feet into the ground
and remember that the sum of all of
their toll was 100000, 900 in fifty
one years. And then remember that
a handful OF men eleven years ago
went into little room and around a
little table with pen and Ink and pa
per and they wrote out and put into
their pockets what represented $780,
100000, the total output OF the Com
stock lode for fifty-one years. That
Is what they allowed them to do, and
he was president seven years and
half and never said word. Not a
message, not speech, and now he
takes a man, a director of the steel
trust and manager of the harvester
trust to manage his campaign, and
then tells US that he is the peoples
president and acting for them.
deny 1t. If Mr.. Perkins knew
that Mr.. Roosevelt were on the peo-
pies side, he would not be on Mr..
Roosevelts side. tApplause.) Mr..
Roosevelt says that Mr.. Perkins is
for him because Mr.. Perkins is inter-
ested in his children. All right. Mr..
Perkins children may inherit the
stock in the steel trust and In the
harvester trust when Mr.. Perkins
dies, and If good, fatherly Mr.. Perkins
wants to get a president who Will
take care OF his children and look
after their trust stock, I appeal to
you, let US get president who will
look after our children who will not
inherit trust stock, the children of
the victims OF these monopolies. TAP

WILSON IN PLACE OF OTHERS
But, my friends, my time is up. i
