WOODROW
WILSON'S MESSAGE

Z Friends and Fellow Citizens
We stand face to face with a great
decision, decision which will
affect the whole course Of our
national life and our individual
fortunes throughout the next
generation. We must make that
decision on the 5th of November.
1t cannot be postponed. We can
not vote without making it, and if
we do not vote those who do will
make it for us. The next four
years will determine how we are
TO solve the question of the tariff
the question of the trusts, the
question of the reformation of
our whole banking and currency
system, the conservation of our
national resources and of the
health and vigor of our people, the
development of our means of trans
portation, the right application of
our scientific knowledge to the work
and healthful prosperity of our
whole population, whether in the
fields or in the factories or in the
mines, the firm establishment of a
foreign policy BASED upon justice
and good will rather than upon
mere commercial exploitation and
the selfish interests of a narrow
circle of financiers extending their
enterprises to the ends Of the earth
and the extension of the assistance
of the government to those many
programs of uplift and betterment
to which some of the best minds of
our age have turned with wise hope
and ardor.
There is much to be done, and it
must be done in the right spirit
and in the right way, or it will
deepen our troubles, not relieve
them. The tariff question must be
solved in the interest of those who
work and spend and plan and
struggle, those who are finding
foothold and working out career,
those who touch the sources Of
strength and are quick with the
pulse of common life, for the
sake Of the"power that tills the
fields aud builds the cities and not
for the ssake Of special groups Of
men who dominate and control
their fellows and regard the toll of
millions Of men merely az an OPP
portunity to make use of their
established advantage. 1t must be
handled very prudently, so that no
honest toll may be interrupted, NO
honorable or useful enterprise dis
TURNED; must be dealt with by slow
stages of well considered change
change whose object shall be to
restore and broaden opportunity,
and destroy nothing but special
privilege and unwhoIesome control
Those who handle it, therefore,
must be men who understand The
general interest and have devoted
themselves to serving it without

been steadily gathering revolt by
the voters. Twenty-six OF the
fofty.eight state governments are
now under democratic executives.
In the legislatures of the forty,
eight states the democrats out
number the republicans by a
majorityof 200. Seventy three of
the l20 chief cities of the country
have democratic mayors. There
are now 227 democrats in he
national house of representatives
and only l6l republicans. The tide
gathers in greater and greater
volume. Only the presidency and
the senate lift their heads little
shove it, those citadels of power
which the constitution makes it
hardest for the peoples majorities
to capture and occupy. Until
these are taken, the great task will
halt and wait, the great task of
putting the government at the
service of the people.
Shall we mot move forward to
the final conquest? An organized
united, and enthusiastic force
stands ready, the only uaited and
militant force to which the people
can turn with any prospect that
they will be served, promptly,
effectively and upon a clear
principle of action = the great
democratic party, now at last
solid and of clear purpose. To it
all who are full of hope and of the
vigor that makes tomorruws are
fiockinR-the young men of the
nation, the noble and devoted
women who wish to see better days
for their children an for all who
are oppressed, the men WHO never
grow old but always press forward
to enterprises uf the new age all
who desire free opportunity and
love the public course that is Just
and righteous and quick with the
hopes of mankind. A great people
is turning its face to the light, not
desiring a revolution, but loving
the right and determined to set il
up wisely, temporarily hunorably
with prudence and patient debate,
not in irritation or in haste, but
like men, not like children. 1t is a
great day and ,propi.ious one.
The responsibility is ours, ard we
snail assume it knowing what il
means. The decision of the 5tii of
November will usher in, if we be
true, new day OF confidence, free.
dom and prosperity. It will be
no nigsardly triumph of n party or
a faction, but the triumph of a
people. The democratic party will
be, not the selfish victor but the
trusted instrument, and the years
that FOLLOW will test every principle
of the great republic. God grant
we shall be worthy to prevail.
WOODROW WILSON.
