trusts and big business. Then motor?

Governor Wilson passed crowds of ;
school children, who waved flags and
cheered.
At the university. President George
H. Vincent introduced the Governor as
"a man who had removed the stigma
of the doctrinaire from academic life,
a scholar of politics, a scholar in poli?
tics, a scholarly politician and a
I statesman."
Addresses Students.
It was the opening day of the uni?
versity, and as the former president of
Princeton looked into the upturned
student faces, be said it was indeed a
familiar scene. The Gove.no; made no
political speech, but emphasized the
p'Jint which he was wont to make in
his speeches as university president ?
that the students of this i ountry did
not take themselves seriously, prefer?
ring to be boys, rather than attack?
ing the se.-lcu-? problems o: life, lie
argued that moel undergraduates wait?
ed for their dipiomas b, f?.-e sla.t.ng

At the parade grounds, a broad '
green meadow in the residence dis
tltet of Minneapolis, the Governor, in
the* longest speech of the day. declared
that the national campaign was not ?
one of personalities, but issue*. i
He paid tribute to President Taft,
and when on another occasion the
crowd construed IBM the Governor ;
had referred to Colonel Roosevelt, the j
speaker quickly corrected the impres?
sion, j
The Governor reiterated his objec?
tions to the plank in the Progressive
Platfcrm advocating restraint of i
trusts by an industrial commission I
"I simply " anted tu s::ow you the i

nee in conclusion, "so that there need j

I In urging the subordination of the
i personal side of the campaign the
Governor said he would not be one
of those wno if defeated would say
the people had made a mistake. Pri
. vately. he added, lie might th nk so.
but he would nut say so.
"I am good enough sport to abide
by your oe> ision," said the Governor ,

On Board Richmond Boosters' Spe?
cial Train, Charlotte. N. C. Septembe?
IS.?Reaching a rousing climax at
Charlotte to-night. the Richmond
Boosters, after visiting several .of the
most progiesstve cities of the cotton
mill district, were warmly welcomed
by the business organizations of the
largest and most prog.essive city of
the Carolinas. At a meeting held la
the auditorium of the Hotel Selwyn
to-nigm. Charlotte and Richmond join?
ed hands In the movement for trade ex?
tension of the South?a movement de?
signed t j place the South in Its proper
place in the commercial world. th?
place, to which its natural advantages
and the character oi its people make
it Justly entitled.
The formal meeting was followed
by a reception and buffet supper nt
the handsome Manufacturers' Ciub. or
Charlotte, at which the union of the
business people of the two cities was
still closer cemented, each city teach?
ing city loyalty and mutual co-opera?
tion as the real secret of business suc?
cess.
The reception accorded the Boosters
at Greenville and Spartanburg brought
the Boosters into Charlotte in an en?
thusiastic condition, assured of the
success of their efforts even beyond
their hopes, and the meeting to-iugnt
has pointed the way to a prosperity
for which the South, in the half century
which followed the war. has hardly
dared to hope.
Clubs Are Hospitable.
The Boosters reached Charlotte on
schedul? time, after a rec\rd run over
the Southern Railway, in whica the
schedule announced was not only
maintained, but was exceeded, and af?
ter parading the business streets, led
by their band, were dismissed for an
hour for recreation. The hospitality
of the various clubs being extended,
(the swimming pool of the Charlotte
Young Men's Christian Association
j proved the greatest attraction after
three days of continuous travel in the
! heat, with marches, speeches ana
cheers for Richmond.
At S:30 o'clock. Mayor Charles A.
Bland called to order a mass-meeting
of Richmond and Charlotte business
men in the Selwyn auditorium, which
was well filled. Pointing out that the
South has in less than half a century
come from the chaos of war to &
golden age of commercialism. Mayor
! ?land told of the day within his me?
mory, when the South raised cotton.
, sent it away to be manufactured and
then bought it back at greatly increased
price. That age, he said, has passed,
and the South holds the majority in
the manufacture as well as the monop?
oly in the ra sing of cotton. The South,
he said, had paid out in pensions to
.vorthern soldiers more than the in?
demnity paid by France to Germany
after the Franco-Prussian War. Do
1 spite this drain, the South baa risen
; until he pred'eted that the time wasn't
] far off when It would commercially
j rule the world
Clarence o. Kuester, president of the
I Greater Charlotte Club, presented
Mayor Ainslie, saying "that If he waa
j as good as he looked, ha must be s

Difference Sot MeUeenhle.
Speaking of the North Carolinians
who have come to Richmond and made
good. Mayor Ainslie said: 'We can
assimilate a North Carolinian so quick
' ly that in one week the difference ir
! not noticeable to the naked eye. There
< is hardly a business profession or trade
j that is not honorably filled in Rich?
mond by some North Carolinian. The
ties that bind Virginia and North Caro.

[ As to the suggestion that the boost
I ing of Richmond might mean the di?
versen of some trade from Charlotte.
; Mr Kuester said: Wjy. bless your
