DEFINES CREED
OF DEMOCRACY
Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey Speaker at
Jefferson Spread.
DEMANDS CLEAR PLATFORM
Wants Particular Form of Special
Privilege Suppression of Which
Is Aimed at Named.

Indianapolis, April 14.-Urging
the democratic party to state its
creed in the concrete and define
clearly the especial forms of privi-
( lege it declares against in a general
campaign ''fOr the rights of the peo-
ple," Governor Woodrow Wilson of
/ New Jersey, III an address at the
/ Jefferson day banquet of the Ma
tional League of Democratic Clubs
here last night, set forth the objects
of the party as he believes they ex-
list and should be stated.
NOT MERE THEORY.
Governor Wilson said in part:
Democracy is not a mere theory
of government. 1t is an energy of
life dwelling in the rank and file.
interpreted once and again by great
leaders, but not confined to their
private understanding. It's blood is
the blood of the people.
This is the day upon which We
utter our creed and renew our vows.
1t behooves us to ask ourselves what
our creed is, and to answer the ques-
ton without subtlety in the plain
terms of everyday life. We must
state our creed in the concrete, not
in the abstract.
PRIVILEGE FORMS MANY.
I'VE say that we are against privi-
Iege and for the rights of the peo-
pie, but privilege has worn many
forms. What is the especial form
of privilege we now fight? How
does it endanger the rights of the
people, and what do we mean to do
in order to make our contest against
it effectual?
by privilege, as we now fight 1t,
we mean control of the law, of leg
islation and of adjudication by Or
CARNATIONS which do not represent
the people, by means which are pri-
vate and selfish and worthy of all
condemnation.
1--WE mean specifically the conduct
OF our affairs and the shaping of
our, legislation in the interest of
special bodies Of capital. We mean
the alliance for this purpose Of po-
liticaI machines with the captains
Of organized industry. We mean the
explorations of the people by legal
and political means.
NOT ATTACKING MEN.
I'VE are not attacking men, we
are attacking a system. The men
are, Hiost Of them, honest. The great
majority of them believe that in
serving their own they are serving
the interests of the country at large
Their conception of prosperity is that
il will best proceed under their man
ageInent.
"They are served and assisted not
only by the political organizations
whifh put men into Office and into
our legislatures, bat also by our
present methods Of legislation. Leg

islation, as we nowadays conduct it
is not conducted in the open. 1t is
not thrashed out in open debate upon
the floors of our assemblies. 1t is,
on the contrary, framed, digested
and concluded in committee rooms.
1T is in committee rooms that
legislation not desired by the inter
ests dies. 1t is in committee rooms
that legislation desired by the in
terests is framed and brought forth.
TARIFF LAW EXAMPLE.
"Of course. the chief triumph of
committee work. of covert phrase
and unexplained classification, is the
tariff law E~ar since the passage
of the outrageous Payne-Aldrich tar
iff law our people have been discov-
ering the concealed meanings and
purposes which lay hidden in it.
They are discovering item by item,
how deeply and deliberately they
were deceived and cheated. This
did not happen by accident; it came
about by design, by elaborated, sec
ret design.

be to open all the processes of pol
itics open them wide to public view,

life again; to safeguard our re-

VISIT OF coNGREssMEN.

! The two visits already made at the
invitation and expense of the Terri
tory by many members of Congress
have proved so advantageous as to call
! for another such visit in the near flu
! ture. The numerous changes about to
occur in the membership of Congress
furnish an additional reason for pro
viding for such a visit at this time.
The frankest and most effective way
to secure appropriate action by Con
gress for local interests is to have
members OF Congress come and see
for themselves. An appropriation of
the same amount as the last one is
recommended, to include other distin-
buished persons as well as members
Of Congress This should be made at
, once If n visit is desired this year, so
that the necessary arrangements may
be well under way before the close of
this, the short, session of Congress.

GUEST AT BALL.
Juarez, Mexico, June 2.-On the
eve of his departure for Mexico City
to assume responsibilities incurred
by the success of the revolution,
Francisco /. Madero, Jr., last night
attended a formal ball given in the
custom house, where two years ago
President Diaz received President
Taft.
Those who arranged the ball at
tempted even to outdo the magnifi-
cence which surrounded President
Diaz at that time. Leading a grand
march, Senor Madero, whom many
look upon as likely to be the next
regularly elected president of Mex
leo, pirouetted over the floors be-
meath a bower of flags and bunting.
Many Americans were present.
That Senior Madero was not solely
in the ball was evident
from the frequency with which he
consulted with his officers concern
ing his trip to Mexico City
