ROOSEVELT INVITES
 VOTERS TO CAST OFF
 OLD PARTY PETERS
Says Loyalty To Name Should Not Be Permitted To Make Men Disloyal To Principles Which Are Now Untenable

DIES MONIES, la. Sept 24.-'My main plea to you here in Iowa is that you vote as you really think, and do not permit yourselves to let loyalty to names make you disloyal to prin- ciples." Colonel Theodore Roosevelt said to his hearers at a meeting of rogressives here today. As at present controlled and managed the democrat ic and Republican parties are as poor instruments with which to work out the welfare of the country as were the democratic and whig parties sixty years ago when the Republican par ty was first founded Abraham Lincoln was then a man of middle age and an his life long had been a Whig. He found that he could be true to the principles which had made him a Henry Clay Whig only by refusing longer to be fettered by allegiance Ito a party name He left the party with which for a quarter of a cen .tury he had been identified and which had elected him to office and joined the new party the Progressive party of that day
 For the first six years of its exist ence, the then Progressive party, the Republican party had to struggle with all the difficulties with which the Progressive party today is now strug- gling
 Senator Cummins and those who who train with him are on the wrong track. They cannot be true to the old time principles of Lincoln and Lin coln's day as long as they continue their association with the utterly re- actionary revolution machine as now controlled in the national and in the largest and most populous states.
 "Mr Cummins and the Republicans who think as he does really stand in absolute alliance with those in con trol of the present Democratic party and with the National Democratic ad- ministration as regards both the tar Tiff and the trust questions"
 MT. Roosevelt discussed the tariff question at some length. criticising the policies of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
 Touching on the trust question he referred to a plan of limiting the cap italization of industrial tenets that no unit should have more than 25 per cent of the business Of any given tyne which he said had been advocated by both Democratic and Republican lead. CTS.
 The slightest study of our indus. trial situation he said. will show you that the evils which can proper. ly be charged to the trusts may also be properly charged to corporations. which do not have twenty-five per cent and sometimes not five Der cent Of the total business. The most strik. ing example is one that is before our eyes at this moment. The clrpora. tion which has caused most industrial trouble in this country during tbe past year is the Colorado Fuel & Iron company.
 This corporation has brought civil war social war, on the state of Col orado' and has Daralized the state government which has had to appeal to the nation and involve the protec- ton of the United States army in or. der Co restore the ordinary conditions of orderly civilization. Yet this cor. poration has not % per cent-prob- ably has not ten per cent-of mass control over the commodities in which it deals
 Mir. Roosevelt said the Progressive party advocated the creation of an ef- hcient administration commission which shall take continuing control of trusts and which will give honest men surety as to the law and en- couragement while they obey the law
