d deed he is looking like a two-year and says he Is ready for the best wor of his life. The rumors about his re signing. he says, are not only absur but he proposes to do enough goo work to make up for lost time de voted to recovery of his health.
 
 is not merely an untruth, but is the q reverse of the truth; and this MT. Wilso well knows. Now, MT. Wilson has CT tire right to attack and criticise m actual position as strongly as he choosc' And he has an entire right, if he think it in good taste, to indulge in the per sonalities about me in which he has IT gently indulged-as to which 1 shall no copy him, however. But he has no rigf to misquote me and to attribute to m words which I have never used
 MT. Wilson asserted that l did al illegal thing in order to build to an ire sistible power, in permitting the purehas by the United States Steel corporation o the Tennessee Coal and company A to this need only refer to my testi mony before the Stanley commission where I went into every detail of tn transaction. It is simple nonsense to sd, that I did an illegal thing MT. Wilsol does not believe it himself and neve would dream of making the statemen excepting as a campaign argument.
 Not Illegal But Nerve"
 "I do not know whether MT Wilso in my place would have acted as l did but I do know that if he had not S acted it would have been because Il lacked the nerve boldly and manfully t aric in fashion that the interests of the peopl should be served even though, becaus of serving them, he was himself subse quently to be exposed to attack.
 Down at the bottom of his heart, MI Wilson's real objection to our propose to control the trusts is that it is alto gether too drastic. He does not ventur to say so in public, but this is unques tionably his real feeling about our pro posed action For MT. Wilson to spea of our plan as one to transfer our ow affairs into the hands of the trusts i utter sheer nonsense.
 "The other day MT. Taft expressed, a Mir. Wilson already had expressed. hi apprehension lest under the system W proposed the trusts would own the gov eminent Snuch fear is utterly ground less. The slightest thought would shoN both these alarmists that their timidit is not justified. All they have to d is look at the interstate commerce com mission. If their fear is genuine, the they are in honor bound to advocate tn repeal of the interstate commerce law It is exercising just the kind of contrc over the big interstate railroads whic we propose to exercise over big indus trial concerns. There is no more dange of the fears of Messrs. Taft and Wilso .ft, eas ban ira, h other.
 Has No Remedies
 "At every point of his programm' MT. Wilson is fertile in speech abou the evils. but when 1t comes to remedy he not only has no efficient remed to propose himself, but he confines him self to oposing the remedies that real ly would be efficient. For example, tn other day he took a leaf out of tn progressive platform and, using the Ian guage which had again and again use in various speeches, spoke of the Stes corporation as working it's employe seven days in the work and 12 hour day. But the only remedy at whic he even hinted--it was only a hint was there should be reduction of tn tariff
 The attitudes of Mr. Taft and MT Wi son towards the judges and courts ar identical. Each solemnly sshakes hi head over existing conditions and eac promptly repudiates every efficient rem edy proposed and has none to sugges in their place. At r-ew Haven the oth CT day MT. Wilson made a speech i which he opposed the recall of judge This speech is thoroughly character istc of MT. Wilson's whole attitud He says that the treatment proposed to treat the symptoms instead of tn disease, but that the disease lies deepe and is very virulent and very danger ous, but he gives no hint of what tn disease is or what is the remedy. Fl says there can be no moral objection to removing wicked judges and he pro poses the recall
 ''IIe says that 1t is necessary to g to the seat of authority for improve ment; and then, without indicating ho, we are to go there or what we ar to do when we get there, he ends wit a beautiful peroration which has abou the same relation to his subject tha was borne by the peroration of tn immortal Senator Elijah Pegram whei in defending defaulting postmaste he stated that his proud answer to tn tyrant and oppressor was that his hom was in the setting sum-
 "I have read through these speeche of Mir Wilson with the utmost care an there is not one line in them whic suggests a remedy of any kind to tn situation. The only thing in the natur of remedy he proposes is general ad vice to be more careful in choosing.
 Progressive party looks not to tn rear for a remedy for existing error but to the front, and not to the pas with it's sometimes amiable and some times brutal but always limited an narrow spirit of competition, but to tn future with it's twentieth century dot Urine of cooperation and control in ol brutal combination.
 "The progressive party embodles Tn typical American spirit"
 Was Turbulent Crowd
 It was turbulent crowd which gath cred in the auditorium tonight. Colon' Roosevelt, who was cheered for sever' minutes when he entered, was con pelled to fight hard for hearing.
 When the colonel mentioned Cover nor Wilson's name part of the crow began to cheer. Others shouted Rooss velts name and in a moment the aud torium was in confusion. The colon' stood with his arm lifted and trie several times with no effect to make hin self heard.
 Hardly had the crowd grown quis when man near the platform calle out question. In an instant there wa an uproar. Mir. Roosevelt summoned h euestioner that he might hear tl querry.
 He wants to know" MT. Rooseve called out, why we repudiated the r publican party after l had sought til republican nomination. He ought to
