MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., S..,il. 18. Aiming a blow nt the personal streiiuoHJty of Colonel Ifoosevelt, Hovcnior Wood row Wilson, in he speeches here and in St. Paul today particularly attacked what ho de clared was the plan of the progres sive candidate for control of the trusts. Of Roosevelt' chnnicleristieH lie Miid: "Some people nre given to take the bit in their teeth nnd bolt or conduct themselves as if at Houiiyhrook fair, taking a crack nt every head thnt miows. They seem to think progren sivism is a matter of speed and weight. It does not matter how fast yon are traveling whether yon nre n progressive depends on the direction in which you are going.' Talks Upon Trusts ICcferring to the trusts Wilson (aid: "There is one proposition upon which this campaign turns. That it. the prohibition that monopoly is in evitable. I deny it. If monopoly is inevitable, then the thing to do is to regulate it. If monopoly is not in evitable, the thing to do is to break it up and to prevent it from forming again. It i my honest opinion that monopoly enn be broken up. I under stand the third party leaders start with the proposition thnt monopolies nr inevitable, nnd that the best that can be done Is to establish an indus trial commission to tnkeeharge of them. This I deny. "Who were the first men to suggest the method now advocated by Roose velt to regulate the trust. George W. Perkins and E. II. Gary. They have thought this thing all out. It may be they honestlv think thnt is the wuy to safeguard the business cf tho country but no mntter whnt they think, they know it will save the United States Steel corporation the necessity of doing business better than their competitors in order to retain control of the industry. "When they say combinations nre necessary for economy nnd effic iency, the only answer I can think of that meets tho situation ndequutc i.. :., ....ioii Tell It to tho .Marines "'Go tell it to the marines!' but do not venture to tell it to anybody who knows tho circumstances in which combinations nro made. "The alternative is to regulnte competitions nud to say thnt to sell below cost in order to squeoze a com petitor out of business shnll be n criminal offense. It should make no difference whether the offender is big or little. We hnvo been having trials and congressional investiga tions and we all know the process by which these men establish monopoly. "If congress does not know how to stop them, then I say the govern ment's lawyers hnvo lost their ingen uity nnd intelligence. "Thero nre u great ninny legal things you enn do now toward put ting tho little man nut of business. That is the reason I want tho Inw changed. Chnngo the law and tho entire ntmosphuro will clenr.
