Wilson's Democracy

In Wilson the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson and

Wilson insists that this campaign fe-anddeath struggle

Wilson that this age different from age
Jefferson the supreme question is question of
economic liberty, in face of the tariff and

Wilson enemy big bsness-th kind that grows big be-
