Sioux City, Sept. 17:-Sioux City
greeted Governor Wilson with rain
this morning and the balance of the
day promised to be Wilson" wealth
er. At Ottumwa a party of work
men outside the train yelled, Hey,
Wilson, show your face" The gov
ernor, walking to the trains plat
form, said, "I'll not only show my
face, but I'll come down and shake
hands with you" At Sioux City the
governor met Democratic leaders
from Iowa, Minnesota, North and
South Dakotas.
The governors reception on his
first western campaigning tour ex-
ceeds that given any other presiden-
tial candidate in the past twenty
ming, q black skinned custodian for
presidential candidates for that
length of time. Manning was with
Bryan in 1895 and says the Wilson
crowds are bigger and more enthusi-
astic.
The governor had a fine time at
handshaking over the railing of the
platform of his private car yesterday
and listening to cheers and cries of
"Hurrah for Wilson" from thou
sands, but he suffered, due to the
heat, suffocating dust, a slow train,
stops at almost every way station
and the loss of an hour and a half
in the running time.
The governors train did not arrive
| In Chicago until 5 o'clock last night
Stops were made at nearly all places of
any size between Columbus and Chi
cago. The crowds ware OF GOOD atze
and tn some towns they were noisily
enthusiastic. Whenever he spoke he
WAS listened to with attention and fire.
Guently loudly cheered.
Replies to Senator Beveridoe.
A representative Of the national
| Democratic committee stood on the
platform at each stop and threw Will
son buttons among the people, who
scrambled for them like schoolboys
and invited the governors attention
when they pinned them on their cloth
ing.
At Logansport, Ind, Governor Will
son referred to speech made last Sat
urday night by Senator Beveridge in
tanned very serious fear that II the
governor were elected president he
would be controlled by the bosses.
Governor Wilson declared that Senator
Bsvertdge was humorist, because II
he didn't know that was joke he
ought to have known that 1t was.
when did he ever hear that l had
changed all my political habits7
81 am sorry to observe" he con-
tinued, that whereas the Republican
party has practically fostered the
trusts and the Democratic party pro-
poses to prevent monopoly in this coun-
try, the third party, represented by
Senator Beveridge. proposes to take the
monopoly into partnership with the
government by accepting it as an in
evitable necessity and ringing 1t under
the regulation of law; that is to say,
making 1t legalized institution Of the
country"
bIames Republican Leaders.
"Who created monopoly" some one
asked.
1.-THE men who created monopoly, my
friend" said the governor, ito answer
your question, are the men who have
taken advantage Of the protective tariff
to get together and make great COM
binations of industry to shut out COM
petition and to make sure that the
prices are in their own control. And
every Republican leader In our genera
ton has been In league with these
men. For my part do not entertain
any hope Of the governments being
freed from the control Of trusts and
the control Of bosses. who are the
agents Of trusts, through the inatru-
mentality Of the adoption Of the trusts
into the care Of the government itself. "
Governor Wilson left Chicago for
Sioux City, where he spoke today at
an interstate fair In the afternoon.
This evening he Is scheduled to speak
In Sioux Falls and he goes to St
pauI and Mtnneanolis topnorrow
