WILSON POUNDS AWAY
AT ROOSEVELT IDEAS
Democratic Candidate Insists
Steel Trust Is Behind Third
Party Programme.
SEES NO RELIEF OFFERED
Governor Pays Tribute TO the
Memory of Mckinley in
Speeches in Dead Presi.
dents Own State.

Cleveland. Oct. 1l.-Governor Woodrov
Wilson, In developing to-day his argu.
ment that "the thought OF the leadin,
men Of the United States Steel Coroars
ton is behind the third party programme
with regard to the regulation OF trust,.
drew attention TO what he termed the
very significant fact" that George "
Perkins rs himself back Of the bro.
gramme" V-,-.-
The Democratic nominee recalled that
Mr.. Perkins had once disclosed In in
vestigations before Congress his whole
thought" about establishing industrial
commissions to regulate monopoly. q,
The Governor spoke at Canton ths
home OF Mckinley; Orville and Cleveland
Besides the attack on the trust plank OF
the Progressive party, he paid tribute
to the memory OF Mckinley, declaring
that Just before he died he showed
symptoms of adjustment to the new az.
such as his successors have not ex-
hibited." and foresav the necessity for
elasticity in the tariff and reciprocal
trade relations with the world"
In his speech at Canton Governor Will
son said. s-s'
The regular Republicans say they are
opposed to monopoly, but when they come
TO speak OF the methods OF restraining
1t, they chiefly indulge In. narrativeof
what they have already done. which we
know to have been Intellectual and when
the third party takes up this side OF the
difficulty, what do they do? They propose
to leave things as they are and subject
them to supervision of an industrial CON-
mission. and we know what that indus
trial commission is expected to do.
Perkins Back Of Programme.
II rs a very significant fact that Mr..
George W. Perkins is himself back Of
this programme, not because l would In
innate to you any corrupt or improper
influences. for would not. Mr.. Perkins
and Just as much right to. urge II upon
the American people as / have, but Mr.
Perkins has disclosed his whole thought
In Investigations before Congress, and on
one occasion, for example, In testfyfng
before the committee OF the Senate, he
commission before whom gentlemen Se-
string TO combine should lay their plans,
and have them accepted or rejected, and
that II they were accepted, that SHOULD
exempt them from the operations Of the
clause of the Sherman act forb!ddtng
combinations In restraint Of trade
In orher words. he wants a commits
sion which Will permit, under regulation.
the process OF Combinations and monop-
oily, and, therefore, i take IL for granted
that that is what is in the third partys
thought, and in its programme: because
/ am interested not in where Nr. RooSe-
velt's money comes from, but where DIS
ideas come from, and ] see multiplying
signs that his ideas come from those
who have set up monopoly and who nat
urally wish TO maintain II, though they
are willing TO be pitiful 10 US and con-
siderate, and to conduct themselves USe
gentlemen. Now, / am no more in favor
Of gentlemanly monopoly than one that
Is rude and impolite.
The Governor brought out in the same
speech his ideas on regulating compet'
ton. He said:
am not as innocent as look. / am
not maintaining that you can oonlnHhu
men 10 compete, but ] do say thar you
can remove the now insuperable lmpedl-
ments. the insuperable obstacles 10 CONT

In any way they choose, which ought not
to be- No man ought. for example, 70 pc

Impossible for a beginner in the enter
prise to get a local foothold.

No BODY OF men who control rs per
cent OF the iron mines OF. the country
ought TO be allowed TO discriminate III the
price at which they sell their iron as De,
tween those who are in the combine ana
those who are not; because we, cannon a.

I therefore have promised myself TO 20

The Governor added that the moncp-
oily OF enterprise meant 'the monopoly
Of political power" and continued:
