A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM.

Under the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson the democratic party mas
won it's greatest victory since 1852.
But this victory is no taWdry
partisan triumph. 1t is no vote OF
confidence in the democratic party
as a party. 1t is mandate from
the people, and woe unto the lead
ers of this democracy If they talter
in obedience to that mandate
The country is seething with po-
litical discomfort in spite of its I'M
paralleled material wealth and
prosperity. This discomfort is con-
fined to no particular class or sec
ton. Rich and poor alike, children
OF fortune and children of poverty,
have begun to lose faith in the Ell
ficacy of their government to estab-
lish justice and promote the general
welfare. They are not sure where
the fault lies; they are not united
as to the remedy; but this they
know-that their institutions have
been seized by privileged interests
and turned against them; tnat
subtle, mysterious forces operating
unseen have proved time after time
that their power over public affairs
was greater than the power OF the
people as a whole, and they demand
that their government be emanclpat-
ed from this partnership.
This is the great work that con-
fronts Woodrow Wilson and the
democratic party-to restore popu-
lar confidence in the institutions OF
the Republic and re-establish a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people.
For sixteen years the republican
party has been in continuous con-
troll of national affairs. In 1896 1t
polled 7,1O4,799 votes. In 1900 it
polled 7,2O7,923 votes. In 1904 It
boiled 7.67S,9OS votes. But sud
denly this seemingly invincible or
ganization came crashing down to
ruin because it had not kept the
faith. The democratic party in turn
will go crashing down to ruin II 1t
does not keep the faith.
The American people are no long
err hypnotized by party labels and
party emblems. They are concern
ed with principles of government
and with parties as a. means or
translating those principles into &C
ton. They have made Woodrow
Wilson President because they be-
lieve that his ideals are their ideals;
that his courage is their courage,
and that he will find way to right
the wrongs against which they have
protested.
A man of lesser character, of low
er ideals, of smaller ability, could
not have won the victory that Gov:
Wilson won yesterday. He could
not have appealed to the magma
ton of the country as Woodrow Will
son appealed to it. No man has
ever been elevated to the presidency
who was more fully the peoples
president that this college profess
sor who scorned alike the support
of the bosses and the support OF
Plutocracy. 1t is tremendous COM
pliment that the voters have paid
him, but the responsibility is equally
great.
If he should fail, the conse-
quences must be doubly disastrous.
II he succeeds, as the World be-
Iieves he will, new. era will nave
begun in American history, with a
new 1indication of republican lnstl-
tutions and a new vindication OF the
immortal principles of the Republic.
This Nation will indeed have a new
birth of freedom-NewY York World
