ADDRESS AT SPRINGFIELD
Governor is Given an En-
thusiastic Greeting in His
Tour of New England.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 27.-When
Governor Wilson arrived in Spring
field thousands of people greeted the
Democratic candidate at the station
and gave him a noisy welcome as he
stepped from the train.
Governor Foss Of Massachusetts,
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, Mayor
Lathrop of Springfield and other Demo
cratic leaders were on hand. The re-
ception party led the candidate to an
automobile, which headed a procession
to Court Square theater, where the
governor delivered his address. Mayor
Lathrop presided over the gathering
Governor Wilson said:
Both the regular Republicans and the
irregular Republicans are regular upon
this point-neither of them falls to stand
pat on the tariff and neither of them pro-
poses to remedy the evils which are Gre
ated by the trusts. They propose a reme-
dy that perpetuates the disease. / have
been reading the messages which Mr..
Roosevelt sent to congress- in which he
adverted to this theory when legislation
on this subject was being considered. In
almost every instance he says-and still
/ says-trusts have come about through q
natural development OF business condi-
tons and that It Is a mistake to try to
oppose the process by which they have
, been built up, and that the only thing to
do Is to accept them as inevitable ar
engagements and make the best of 1t by
regulation.
answer that that results from a con-
| fusion OF thought. Big business on a
great scale Is inevitable and desirable, but
it Is a different matter from the develop
meut of trusts. The trusts have not
| grown, but have been manufactured by
the deliberate will OF men more powerful
than their neighbors In the business
world. l deny and they claim the trusts
are inevitable.

MIR. BROWN RENoMINATED.

Hon. William q. Brown, member OF
Congress from the second West Virginia
district, was on Tuesday renominated
without dissenting vote at the Demo-
cratic convention held in Grafton. While
the attendance was not large, owing to
the fact that the nomination OF Mr.. Brown
was mere formality, the delegates who
were present were full of enthusiasm and
interest.
The convention was called to order by
Fred T. Martin, chairman OF the congress
sional committee. Charles Brannon, OF
Philippi, was made chairman and VIM.
6. Lavelle. of Tunnelton, secretary. All
the committees were dispensed with ex-
cept the committee on resolutions, and
while awaiting the report OF this commit
tee, the convention was addressed by
Hon. William Allen Cullep, of Indiana,
who told OF the good work done by the
House of Representatives and of Mr..
Browns part therein.
AT the afternoon session the resolutions
were reported and read by Hon. B. d.
Gibson, of Charles Town, chairman OF
the committee The nominees OF the
Baltimore convention were endorsed,
the legislation OF the Democratic majority
in the House of Representatives SANCTION
ed, and Mr.. Browns course especially
approved. The resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
Mr.. Brown was placed in nomination
by Hon. Benjamin H. Hiner, of Pendle-
ton county. in an eloquent address. No
other name was proposed. and Mr.. Brown
was thereupon nominated by reclamation.
In response to call, Mr.. Brown appeared
before the convention, and in ringing
speech thanked the convention for the
honor and pledged himself to make a
vigorous campaign TO keep the district
in the Democratic column.
]. Sloan Kuykendall, of Romney, was
nominated presidential elector for this
district.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Brown will be reelected to repre-
sent this district. He has been tried dur
ing the past year or two in the crucial
sessions OF Congress and has not been
found wanting. Every appeal from his
constituents has had his personal atten-
ton and no interest has been neglected.
Upon the great questions before the
House his views have been sound and
his votes right, and he has shirked no
duty to his country or his party. Al
though he is stalwart Democrat, he is
not a narrow. partisan, and his constit-
uents of all political opinions have been
represented fairly and treated with full
consideration. He is worthy the sup
port of all the voters and we hope to see
him triumphantly Reelected.

THERE is a very decided disposition
on the part of the real progressives in the
Republican party to put aside partisan
feeling and rally around Woodrow Wilson,
who is progressive in the most practical
sense and whose election would really
do the cause far greater good than if Col.
Roosevelt were chosen President.
A few days ago Governor Chase S.
Osborn, of Michigan, formerly an ardent
Roosevelt supporter, issued statement
in which he gave it as his belief that
there is now no necessity for a new
political party and said he hoped that
Roosevelt would not be candidate.
Governor Osborn said in his statement:
"The issue is clearly joined for the
people. 1t is Wall street VS.. Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson's character, tempera-
ment, preparation and fitness is above the
high average OF American Presidents.
He is a Christian, a scholar and fearless
citizen. Republicans can vote for Wilson
without leaving their party or boiling.
The real Republican party has no candi-
date for President this year. There has
been no nomination. The action OF the
political freebooters at Chicago is not
binding upon the Republican party, even
if for the moment they are bearing aloft
its stolen ensign"
The Minnesota Progressive Republican
League will back Woodrow Wilson in
his coming campaign for the presidential
election, according to George S. LOTUS.
president of the league. Mr.. Lotus
declared that practically all of'the men,
bers of the executive committee OF the
league have agreed to this plan. "Wood-
row Wilson represents our idea OF pro-
gressivism," said Mr.. Lotus. "There is
no reason for us TO join the third party
movement, and neither can we support
President Taft. We will work for Mr..
Wilson in the State. With the nomina-
ton of Wilson do not see any occasion
for third party now. Had Clark or
anyone else been nominated there would
have been a cause. In my opinion the
progressive wings of both parties will
now 20 for Wilson. | will support him
and all real progressiveS of the entire
Northwest will get behind him."

1T is funny to note how the ardor for
Colonel Roosevelt has cooled since the
nomination of Governor Wilson and the
consequent collapse of the Roosevelt
boom. Fully as progressive as Roose-
welt, yet possessing wisdom and poise
and thoughtfulness that the former does
not have, Governor Wilson suits the
genuine reformers of all parties far better
than the cratic and reckless Rough Rider.
The only way in which the Colonel can
save his face is to come out himself for
the Democratic candidate.
