Presidential Candidate Makes Bold Statement That Monopoly Can be Broken up
Comes Out Plainly on Bull Moose Leader and His DOnne- brook Fair Tactics, in Taking
 Crack at Every Head That Shows Itself |

Minneapolis, Sept 1s.-Gov- Wood row Wilson has fang away the re- serve with which he has heretofore treated Col. Roosevelt and is also de- claring in emphatic language for anti trust laws that will put in peniten- tiaries "big fellows who put little 1elIows out of business.
 In his speeches in the Twin Cities, today, Wilson made specific just what he proposes in the way of antitrust Legislation Here is what he said about the bull moose leader:
 Some people seem to think that it is progressive. to take the bit in your teeth and bolt or to lay about you TO conduct yourself as if you were at a Donnebrook Fair, taking a crack lat every head that showed itself. They seem to think that progressfveness is "a matter of speed and weight It hnatters not how fast you are travel Hing, whether you are a progressive depends upon the direction in which you are going"
 of his antitrust program was:
 There is one proposition upon hproposition is that monopoly is in ~evitable. That is what I deny. be- 1ieve that monopoly can be broken up.
 understand that the leaders of position that the big com binations which now control business are in-, tevftable ana that the pest we can dO lis to establish an indutsriaI commis- mission which will take charge of them and see that they are good to us.
 ..I deny the fundamental proposi- ltion. deny that these big combina- ttions are inevitable and I can prove fthat they were not inevitable by the 5ished.
 where was the method now pro- posed of regulating the trusts sug- lgested? It was suggested in the in lquiry by the House of Representa- ltives into the steel trust and 1t was suggested by MT. Gary and MT. George NV Perkins. They have thought this thing out. I am not interested in their motives. It may be, for all I know, that they honestly think that is the way to safeguard the business of this country but, whatever they think, this they know that it will save the United States Steel Corporation mess better than it's ompetitors.'
 Governor Wilson declared the steel trust and other such combinations had failed in their theoretical pur- pose to be efficient and economical; lthe fact that it is a monopoly re- iIfeved that necessity and then he said
 When these gentlemen say that these combinations are necessary for economy and. efficiency the only an Bwer can think of is that meets the situation is, Rats Go tell it to the marines but don't venture to tell it to by which these combinations were made.
 Now the alternative is to regulate say that to go into yconnunity and sell below cost for an- other purpose-for it can't be the
