Chicago, March Colonel Roosevelt's most stinging campaign speech thus far was- delivered hire tonight.

He laehed his opponents and-charged some of thent with using fraud and trickery to defeat him. He made a direct attack on. President Tsft in connection with representative rule by the people. Colonel Roosevelt said it was "a fighting speech." It Was -delivered before a throng which packed the auditorium and cheered bin) enthusiastically. The primaries in Xew York yesterday furnished the text for his speech, and he cited a number of instances in which he said his opponents had resorted to improperriractices tq jdefeat him.

Methotn "Infamous." He expressed belief that in the great majority of districts of the country the people were with him, and that the Oppoaition was attempting to defeat hiin by methods which he characterized as "infamous." Part of Colonel Roosevelt speech was devoted to Big Busipess. He opposed, "our present policy of chaos" and gave his own ideas of the methods which should be pursued ta insure strict regulation of large orporations. Chicago gave the former president a weleoms. Crowda cheered, hint at jhjatulfwhMi fte mvM wt waer-ever he appeared during the nine hours of his stay here. The auditorium was not large enough to hold those Who sought admission.

ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH Calls Federal Trust Suits Failures and Attacks the President Chic a March 'Big business' and the control" of corporations were discussed bv Colonel Roosevelt in a speech which delivered here tonight, entitled "A vnarter oi fjusrness x-ro- perity" He, said the government's trust prosecutions in the oil and to bacco cases had accomplished nothing of real worth. "Our present policy of chaos cannot permanently continue," said Colonel Roosevelt He declared there should, be "absolute clearness of and spoke in favor of a "competent. administrative body, an industrial Commission, or something of the kind, whilb would do for the work of industrial production what "commerce commTs-sion ia doing for the world of industrial transportation.

"As regards prosperity," said Colonel Roosevelt. there are two things to remember: First, that there must be a division of prosperity so thst all shall benefit; second, that there can be no such division of prosperity unless the prosperity is there to divide. How the Extremist Fights. "It is curious to see Jow often the extremists on both sides combine against the sane and moderate men who are striving to fight a real battle for jnstiee. use the word 'moderate' ad visedly, for the violent self-styled Conservative is just as wild an extremist as the most violent of the self-styled extreme Radicals.

The small business man and the honest big business man are alike interested in securing a definite, settled and elearlv defined aovern- mental policy about business. The great law-oreaking trust, on tne other hand, objects much more tb a definite and dearly settled policy of governmental control than to the policy of make-believe extinction. JJ td; the big business man, bat I also want to do full justice to the small business man and the middle-si xed business man. It should be the policy of the government clearly to define and punish wrong doing, to givain advaace full information to ev ery man as to just what he can and What he cannot legally" do. 7 Federal Suits Tallnres.
