WHAT PAPERS
SAY Of WILSON
COMMENT FROM HERE AND
THERE ON THE PRINcEToNlAN
AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Frederic, (Okla-,) Enterprise: Now
is the time for all good men to join
the Woodrow Wilson club.
Beaumont, CTexas,) Journal: Gov
ernor Wilson's popularity seems to be
contagious and well nigh epidemic al
ready.
Monticello, (Ga,) News: That ray
OF light You see in the dim distance
shine for the Democrats in 1919.
Long Beach, (CaL,) Press: For
president, Woodrow Wilson, Of New
Jersey; for vice president, Joseph w.
FOLK, of Missouri That's a ticket
that should be good for sore eyes
among Democrats and progressives.
GAINESVILLE, (Minn.,) Argus: 1t is
said that President Taft feels practi-
cally sure of denomination. But he
is not so sure of election. With Wood
row Wilson the Democratic nominee
he has his doubts.
Peoria, 1Il.,) Journal: The Journal
Is for Wilson as the presidential nom
inee. 1t believes that he far outstrips
all the other possible candidates. The
times demand a fearless, unimpeach-
able leader, one who has justified pub
lie confidence by his acts, one who will
vitality represent the nationwide
movement Sthat will restore to the
people their inherent rights.
Spartanburg, Is. Co. Herald: In
every straw vote taken in this country
during the present year, whether
among members of congress. among
the voters Of the Democratic state Of
Georgia, in the Republican state of
Pennsylvania, the doubtful state of
Colorado or the progressive insurgent
state of Oregon, it is noticeable that
Woodrow Wilson is the popular fav-
orite.
Jefferson, (Ga.,) Herald: Prospects
for electing a Democratic president
grow brighter every day. The man
on whom most eyes are conferred as
the proper person to bear the stand
ard of the Democratic party is the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey.
He seems to be the man of the hour.
With Wilson for president and Champ
Clark for vice president, We believe
the Democratic party will be united
and present a solid front,
DeLand, OHia-,) Newsi Colonel T.
J. Appleyard, state printer, wants to
be a candidate as one of the delegates
to the next Democratic national con-
vention. Candidates to this conven-
ton must declare their choice for a
nominee for president, and those who
are in favor of the New Jersey man as
first choice will no doubt Sc sent to
the convention by the Democracy of
Florida, for it appears that Wilson is
the choice from one end Of the state
to the other.
CordeIe, (Ga-,) Rambler; When
Governor johnson, of Minnesota, died
it was believed by many that there
was not another man in the United
States who could organize and lead
the Democratic forces, but since his
death Woodrow Wilson has appeared
on the scene and is even a greater
leader than Johnson. Governor Wilson
did not have to serve any novitiate,
so to speak, but jumped into the arena
full-fledged Prometheus-a Totan
thrown above Titans.
Santa Fe IN. NJ Eagle: The Will
son boom is rapidly gathering strength
in nearly every section OF he country.
The south and the west are strong
for him, and he is gaining strength
as a candidate in the east. He is
just the kind of a Democrat who can
lead the party to success next year,
and Democrats all over the country
are waking UP to this fact 1t is hard
ly too much to say that a majority
Of the Democrats of the country are in
favor of his nomination for president
next year.
Hymera, Und.,) Vindicator: The
Vindicator believes that no stronger
man could be found anywhere to drive
the Democrat donkey to victory than
Governor Wilson-for Wilson will
want to drive, or not be in the race.
Mr. Wilson's qualifications highly rec
commended him. To the invaluable
advantages of high academic training,
he adds the practical acumen of the
shrewd politician. To have beaten
the machine in trustridden New Jer-
sey, riding into Office on a cloud Of
popular votes, is the best sort of proof
of his wonderful two-fold capacity
for leadership.
Davenport, Iowa Democrat:
Woodrow Wilson is the scholar in pol
itics, if you like it that way; no man
in public life more distinctly so. But
he is also the governor Of New Jer-
sey He was elected to that position
| because he advocated reforms and
fought for them, hitting straight from
| the shoulder. In office Governor Will
son has been the scholar and gen.
| tleman, not a dabbler and boor. He
has opposed political shams; he has
smashed the partisan machine; he has
| been an upbuilder in actual con-
structive work, not a weather vane a
| follower, a time server.
