pI LN"nENSE ~ " ''''''
Democratic Candidate For the U. s.
Senate From Illinois Against
LorImer.
Before meeting Gov. Wilson, was
somewhat predisposed in his favor
from having read many Of his produc'
tions and having admired the great
comprehensive grasp Of economic SIT
uations which prevades all Of his pol
itical utterances and writings.
Still while predisposed in his IA
vor, until | had personally met and
conversed with him, ! was not con-
vinced Of his availability as q can
didate for President,
Since meeting Gov. Wilson, how
ever, all doubt In that regard, IN my
own mind, has been removed. Gov.
Wilson is presidential timber Of the
exact kind and quality required at the
present time. To begin with he Is an
Intellectual giant, with broad COM
prehensre grasp of every public sit
uation. Throughout the east, he Is
universally regarded as the brainiest
American living today, Even in priv
ate conversation, his intellectually
scintillates in every sentence he ut
ters He has q logical and analytical
mind. His language is simple, easily
understood, yet definite, incisiye and
convincing, He has been student or
political economy since his boyhood,
has written varied books upon the
subject and Is conceded to be the
highest authority upon theories OF
government In the country today
While our presidents have generally
been men of patriotic impulses, hon
est and conscientious, still few OF
them have been great intellectually
Thomas jefferson was an exception to
this rule. Woodrow Wilson, II cleo
ted president, by reason of his in
stlncts, characteristics, training, fear
lessness, patriotism, faith IN the peo'
pie and extraordinary intellectually
would indeed be a second Thomas
jefferson,
Ideal Chief Executive Of State.
As governor Of New Jersey, no has
given that state a practical business
administration, 80 conceded by all
He has shown himself to be peculiar
ly fitted for the executive Office along
the most practical lines, In meeting
him, you are impressed with this fact
Tho sehoolmastor Is not In the least
IN evidence lie is plain, matter OF
fact and his conversation Is not pc.
dantic or pedagoglc, but direct, force
iul and earnest
Above all he Is man OF the people.
IIo was born with no silver spoon IN
his mouth. He is not q man of means
or wealth. He is easily approachable.
No dignity hodges him about lie re-
sides In u very modest homo at Prince
ton, On knocking ut his door no SER
want, llyorled or otherwise, met us Nt
the portals It was the governor him'
self who opened the door for us, well
coined Us in took our hats aud WrGpS
and laid them aside, ushored us Into
his library, made US feel at home aud
talked to US neIghbors who had
dropped IN for q casual call, There
are no frllls nor furebelows about
him. Ho Is essentially jeffersonIan,
AS governor OF New jersey he has
fought for the plain people and they
love him. In doing 80, no has anita
gonIzed the interests, He knows II,
but doesn't care, He has faith In tho
people and takes them into his con-
ldonco,
Sense Of Duty Supreme.
