WHAT EDITORS SAY OF WILSON
Plant City (Fla) Courier: We have
been convinced for some time that
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was
the man of the hour for democracy,
and as we have read the adroitly word
ed editorials which have appeared
from time to time in a certain chain
of interested-owned, money-controlled
newspapers and have watched the
shrewd manipulations of certain po-
litical forces, we have become more
firmly convinced than ever before that
upon the nomination of Wilson depends
to a considerable extent, the hope of
democratic success in 1912.
Woodrow Wilson is of that class of
American citizens who believes that
Ethe benefits of our government should
be equally dispensed and its burdens
shared alike by the people of all
classes and for this reason he is being
opposed by the big business interests
of the eat and their attellites. But de-
spite all this we believe that Wood
row Wilson will be nominated as the
democratic standard bearer and if he
is nominated we believe that he will
be elected president of the United
States. The time has passed when the
people can be fooled into electing a
man president whose soul has already
!. been bartered to those whose interests
are inimical to the interests of the
whole people.
The Growth of Wilson Sentiment.
Huntsville (Ala.) Times: From
every section of the United States
comes most encouraging news about
Woodrow Wilson's candidacy for pres
Iident of these United States. The most
favorable part of the activity back OF
Mr.. Wilson is the fact that it is vol
untary and gratuitous Wilson as the
man is what appeals to the people be
, cause he is square-honest. That's the
; greatest essential element entering
, Into this campaign We believe be
lyond all doubt that Mr.. Wilson will bt
nominated to lead the democrats t
national victory an dthat the people
will elect him. The growth of th'
woodrow Wilson sentiment for presi
dent is simply wonderful. He is be
! coming more popular and stronge
with each passing day.
Houston, Tex, Dec. 2S.-The Wash
e ington correspondent of the Houston
< Chronicle, sends the following to hi
paper:
e Men who come here from the Lon
Y Star State, and who care little or moth
= ing for machine politics, say withou
:, hesitation that Woodrow Wilson is tn

is also true of all the states on whic
II any reasonable line on popular sent
o ment can be obtained To speak G
e nearby states, Virginia and Maryland
S Delaware and New Jersey, are fror
y the best information obtainable IRE

it Wilson is the only inyincible candidat
