"The progressive movement Is not

Is In tho far west, but L do not be
lieve their ideas materially dltfor
from thoso ot tho progressives of tho

the problems confronting them una:
Intend to solve them without blind

In his speech he paid in part:
"The modern world, Is, of course,
a business world. A great many ot

"It is perfectly legitimate ot courso
that the business interests of tho

of the law not only, but that they
should be in every way furthered and
strengthened and facilitated by legis
lation. Tho country has no Jealousy
of nny connection between business

"The business of the country ought
