"I do not wonder Colonel Roosevelt
thinks trusts are Inevitable," said the
governor. "He" never found any way of
checking them and he thought It was In
evitable that the steel corporation should
buy the Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany and that the president should con
sent to an Illegal thing In order to build
up an ' irresistble power. If it Is in
evitable that the government should
yield to those powers, the sooner we
know it the better."

in his speech to Colonel Roosevelt, de
claring that if he were re-elected he
would have, "no third party congress be
