ROOSEVELT PROMISES J SfECIIE SESSION Will Waste No Time in Putting Program Into Law if He Is Elected President. TO BEGIN A T ONCE ON REFORMS ADVOCATED Colonel Makes First Definite Statement of His Plans in Arizona Speech. TUCSON, ARIZ.. Sept. 17.—1 f Colo nel Roosevelt is elected president, he will at once call a special session of congress to enact the laws affecting in dustrial problems that he has advo cated during his campaign. This defi nite promise was made here today to an enthusiastic crowd of Progressives that had gathered to greet the colonel. In a brief outline of his program, made more definite than any yet given out, the colonel said that first he planned to extend the new order of things to the government service, then to the District of Columbia, where reg ulation of corporations could be at tempted: then to Alaska and finally to business in interstate commerce. The colonel, speaking earnestly and emphatically, told the crowd that he was in earnest in his purpose to find a way to curb the corporations and read just conditions so that the wage earner would get the advantage of defi nite government supervision of big business. Until his speech here the colonel had contented himself with a general statement that he would try to get leg islation enacted us soon as possible in case of his election. “My distinct purpose," he said, "is to have congress immediately take up the matter of establishing among the gov ernment employees the ideas 1 have advanced as to the shorter working hours, the minimum wage and work ingmen’s compensation. That is one phase of it. Congress has power to do it.” Reform to Start in Government Service. “In a special session the whole prob lem can be threshed out. The start will be made, as I have it in mind, right in the government's service, "The second step I have in mind is to put into effect exactly the same con ditions In the District of Columbia In the district, more than in the gov ernment service, we can carry out the ideas we have as to the government control of corporations. "My third step is to put the indus trial .scheme to practical work in Alas ka. Besides that, the government may extend its power over interstate busi ness. But that is something that will have to be worked out with great care "Now, I promise that this program will be faithfully carried out if I am elected. Within a short time after I assume the presidency —if the people decide they want me—l will issue a call for the extra session, and the work of establishing the new order will be gin." To get to Tucson, the colonel's itiner ary through Arizona had to be altered. He loft Los Angeles earlier than had been planned, and made a long run to reach here. From here the colonel goes to Maricopa, the first scheduled stop of the day. The day's run ends at Phoe nix. Bryan, on Stump, Hits Taft and T. R. GREELEY.
