Such candidate the united
democracy names and commends to
this convention in the person of
Thomas R. Marshall
Woodrow Wilson.
In a speech of flowery eloquence,
Judge Wescott, OF Camden, placed in
nomination Woodrow Wilson, COVER
nor OF New Jersey.
New Jersey, once bound" he said,
but, by the moral energy and intel
lectual greatness of single soul, now
free, comes to this great convention,
In the glory OF her emancipation, to
participate in your deliberations, aid
in formulating your judgments and as
sist In executing your DEGREES. The
New Jersey delegation is not empow-
cred to exercise the attributes OF pro-
prietorship, but is commissioned to
represent the great cause OF democ-
racy and to offer you. as its militant
and triumphant leader. a scholar, not
a charlatan; statesman, not doc
trinaire; profound lawyer. not a
splitter of legal hairs: a political eco
nomist, not an egotistical theorist; a
practical politician. who constructs,
modifies. restraints without disturb
ance and destruction: a resistless de-
batter and consummate master of state
ment, not mere phrase-maker; a
humanitarian not a defamer of char
acter and lives. man whose mind Is
at once cosmopolitan and composite
of America: gentleman of <unpreten-
tious habits, with the fear of God in
his heart and the love of mankind ex-
hibited in every act of his life; above
all public servant who has been tried
to the uttermost and never found
wanting peerless. matchless, uncon-
querable.
The indifference of the American
people to politics has disappeared. Any
platform and any candidate not con-
forming to this vast social and com
mercial behest will go down tcs ignomi-
NOUS defeat at the polls. Platforms
are too often mere historic rubbish
heaps of broken promises.
What would it profit democratic
party to win now, only to be cast out
four years hence? The democratic
party should be commissioned to carry
on great constructive program hav-
ing for its end a complete restoration
of the doctrine of equal rights and
equal opportunity-without injury and
wrong to anyone. In Woodrow Will
son, We find the mental and
moral equipment to accomplish
this reincarnation OF democracy.
The lightning flash of his
genius has cleared the atmosphere.
We now know where we are. The
thunder of his sincerity is shaking the
very foundations OF wrong and cor
ruption.
New Jersey appeals to this conven-
ton to give the nation Woodrow Will
son. that he may open the gates OF
opportunity TO every man. woman and
child under our flag. by reforming
abuses and thereby teaching them ITO
release their energies intelligently
that peace, justice and prosperity may
reign
