Spurning the of-fer of-fer of a squad of police nnd a detail of detectives to protect him, Governor Johnson yesterday rode and strolled about Chicago alone or attended by personal friends and at noon and last night delivered speeches In local theatres. Trusts and their regulation were discussed by the governor in his address ad-dress last night. Ho Insisted that regulation by commission was a solution solu-tion of the problem. "You have presented for voiir con sideration two plans for dealing with the trusts," he said. "You have before be-fore you the conspicuous failure of the law suit plan In tho tobacco and oil trust cases. On the other hand you have tho conspicuous example of the commission plan or regulation in tho successful operation of the Interstate In-terstate commerce commission deal-I deal-I Ings with tho railroads. Governor Johnson visited Colonel Roosevolt this morning and in both speeches assured his auditors that the colonel would be back in the fight soon. Tho two candidates will confer today and decide on the final plans for tho last two weeks of the campaign. Asks No Quarter. "Tho greatest two handed fighter this world has ever known," was the, phrase of Governor Johnson In his characterization of Colonel Roosevolt In his address last night "Neither today nor yesterday, last week nor last month," said the governor, "has ho asked any quarter from either of tho pld parties that aro opposing him. It matters not what may have happened hap-pened in tho early days of this week, he docs not ask quarter now. He upholds as Just and right tho contention conten-tion of Mr Bryan that that which has happened to him should not be allowed to stop or confuse this fight "He ask3 the Democrats and the Republicans to continue their campaign cam-paign but I ask you now, you who are Interested In this great cause, to redouble re-double your efforts In order that you may tako on your own shouldors a Uttlo part of the burden that he has borne bo long. I ask you all to add a little of enthusiasm, a Uttlo of sac-rlflco sac-rlflco In your work, so that all bearing bear-ing this burdon with him, may make tho cause go forward as ho would have done. "He Js tho greatest two-handed fluhter this world has evor known. Whenever he atarts ho gets there. They say that ho made too great use of the 'Big Stick.' Any executive of any nation, stnto or city, who won't take a stick or a club or any other weapon and boat the way through for a righteous cause, Ib not worthy of his salt." Reverts to Convention. After discussing the growth of Pro-groBslvism Pro-groBslvism in tho west tho governor rovorted to tho Republican convention of last Juno. '1 do not mention tho candidate of tho moribund convention," he said, "becnuso It is doubtful If that particular partic-ular candidate receives a single electoral elec-toral voto I was in the city of Salt Lako talking to a great audience and I have been told that Utah this year will pass Its voto for the present president of tho United States and ymWM while talking to the audience that mM 'evening I related the fate of Millard WW Filmore. He was a residuary legatee mM of the old machine. Ho received his WmM 'nomination, with the expectation that mWM ho would accomplish the results that H had been accomplished in the past mWM tbut when the -votes wero counted it l .was found that the state of Mary- mW ,land stood alone. I asked Jf Utah H was to be the Maryland of today "Our cause call;? for the highest VmWM and best and noblest that there is in mW human kind and to this cause, thank H God, we have the right leader. I like WMM to talk to tho business men and tell H them that they must take heed that JmWM they come not to the radicalism that m knows no boundary. Wc are striving mM in this movement to mako every one H understand that ho has a higher duty mm than to make men richer. WW "This year wo are going to make H men better by government. We want to mako this land more adequate H for men and women to live In. This H Is tho dawn of a new day politically. H It Is the dawn of a day where hope is right on the horizon for men and H women and little children.' Wt oo H |
