Mr.. Taylor was introduced by John
l.. Sostello, District national commit
teeman, as the chief speaker of the eve
ming. He asserted In the beginning that
the nation stood in the midst of pollti-
cal chaos and pointed out the causes
for the condition. The remedy for the
condition. he declared. was the coming
Democratic success at the polls.
Founders Feared Autocracy.
Mr.. Taylor stated that when the
American Government was begun the
builders of that Government were afraid
of an autocracy such as England had.
They therefore put such restrictions on
the Government as would insure a demo-
cracy for all time. These restrictions
have operated In favor OF corporations,
who have taken advantage of the an
Client restrictions to build their trusts
beyond the pale.
The speaker declared that there were
several things which Mr.. Wilson had
pledged himself to do which the other
candidates would not do. These are

Henry r. Davis followed Mr.. Taylor
with personal appreciation of the
man. He said Mr.. Wilson had declared
that the campaign was tor principles,
not men, but that he did not agree with
him. He thought no other campaign
had ever hinged so entirely on the men
1hNOlvCl and that of the three Wilson
vas head and shoulders the taller.
Mr.. Davis said Wilson had made good
II New Jersey as governor, where 1t
was harder tc make good than in any
other state in the Union, and that he
was fitted both mentally and morally
to be the head of the nation. "And in
the Providence of God the result of the
cGmpsign is determined already" was
his conclusion.

Glass of Virginia and Charles G. Frost.
OF New Jersey, spoke on the same lines
