Pittsburg, Pa. June 30.-Theodore
Roosevelt delivered Tuesday. night his
first political address since his return
from Brazil 1t was divided into three
parts, an attack on the Wilson admin,
istration, an indictment of bosses
and an exposition of the progressive
party's policies.
The administration tariff laws, Col
Roosevelt hailed as colossal failure
particularly hard upon the farmer, its
antitrust program he branded as an
economic absurdity; its foreign policy
he styled as ''wretched." The demo
cratic tariff, he insisted, had brought
distress upon the nation; had not low
cred the cost of living and had chiefly
benefited foreign rivals of American
business. The solution rested, he ar
gued in support of the progressive
movement and the enactment of laws
providing for tariff revision by non
partisan commission.
OF the bosses" Mr.. Roosevelt said
they thwarted the rank and file of the
republican party by the nomination ol
Taft at Chicago, and in so doing, ode
libeTately put the democratic organi
zation and Mr.. Wilson into power"
In conclusion the colonel sketched
the progress of needed antitrust legis
latiOn by properly empowered commits
sions contrasting such proposals with
legislation now pending at Washing
ton, which he declared woefully made.
quate Such program alone, he con,
tended, proved the inadequacy of the
democratic party.

This is true both as regards the
