EDITORIAL COMMENT ON WOOD
ROW WILSON.

Lowell Courier-C Citizen In Wood
row Wilson the Democratic party has
nominated unquestionably the strong
est candidate that offered. No other
nomination was so certain to take
the wind out of the Roosevelt sails.
No other could have been similarly
satisfactory to the sanely progress
sive element in the party itself In
selecting him To- party has chosen
with wisdom far surprising its usual
record; and, unless signs change to-
tally between now and November the
prospects for a Democratic victory
are fiattering. From what one hears
casually from Notwithstanding
not only many who were for Roose-
velt, but also many whe were bitterly
against hint may be said without
fear of overstatement that probably
40 Democratic candidate ever nomi-
mated has stood SO good show OF
attracting Republican votes.
New York Evening Post His
nomination falls happily, it comes to
him with his party united, and is re-
ceived with the most gratifying tok-
ems OF goodwill even from those who
have been politically hostile to him.
That it means a vivifying Of the Dem
ocr'atic party, campaign conducted
with dignity and o. high intellect
ual level, and, in case Wilson is
elected, something like a new era in
our politics, il unusually agreed. To
have cot such a felictious ending TO
the long hurly-burly at Baltimore, is
a matter not only for rejoicing, but
for renewing faith in the good sense
OF the American people. Say not the
struggle naught availeth when our
turbulent Democracy delights to hon
Or man like Woodrow Wilson
Boston Post The next president
of the United States was named by
the Democratic Convention at Balti-
more, and his naming was made un-
animous. He is known the country
over as Woodrow Wilson, and he will
BE- known in history, we fully believe,
as one Of the very great American
chief executives. The Democracy has
risen to its finest opportunity in the
finest way. 1T has chosen a. IT. lead
er, after long and earnest deliber-
alton, man of great ability; of sane
progressiveness, or genuine faith in
the people; Of strong magnetism; Of
splendid campaigning powers; of
honor and honesty, and, most happi-
ly, with record for accomplishments
in the public interest second to that
of no statesman in this country.

INDIVIDUAL LOCAL PRIDE.

Every community is divided into
workers and shirkers, hopers andmop-
ers. The workers with their individual
local pride, toll on cheerfully, daily
contributing to the prosperity Of the
town and full of hope and plans for
it's future. The shirkers hang back,
contribute nothing to it's welfare,
criticise town officials, who are Civ
ing their time to help beauty the
place, and talk disparingly of things
in general. Strange as it may seem
IL j. easier to b. a worker than
shirker and certainly 1t il a good
deal better all around. Then, also,
there is the satisfaction of knowing
that ones life amounts to something.
Therefore don't shirk work, don't
NOPE, hope. Don't kick and growl
when you are asked to help improve
conditions. You ought to see what i
needed around your property as
quickly as the general public sees it.
Nowhere does individual effort
count more than in improving the ap-
pearance of a town. If every citizen
would consider himself a committee
Of one to help beautify his home the
question Of a clean, attractive town
would be settled. Don't wait to pull
the grass and weeds until someone
complains about it and you have to
be notified that there is complaint.
One trouble is that here and there is
man too Indifferent, or too indolent
to do these things, and one such man
can mar the beauty of whole block.
It's the owners place to keep the
weeds down and 1T il to his interest
That which is needed is local pride
on the part of the individual and a
general public spirit that will not
tolerate disfgurements-V Reg
lister.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Just now the national political out
look is decidedly Democratic. An
election for President at this time
would result in 80 overwhelming tri-
umph for the Democratic party. The
Republican party would hardly be
able to carry State for President
Taft, saving Vermont, and even there
Republicanism would be terribly
shaken
OF course it i not expected that
this situation will continue unchang-
ed until election day. The Republi-
can backbone, at present badly frac-
tured, may b. braced up tn fighting
posture. Party lines vii become
more faulty drawn. But there is not,
at present, the remotest probability
that the Republican organization will
be able to get into a position that
will enable it to make hopeful fight.
Even without the enormous Access
sions that have been made by the
Democratic party, it would be reason
ably certain Of victory this year. The
Republican party j. hopelessly divid-
ed. The Democratic party is united
as it has not been since it's success
full campaign of 1892 The Roose-
welt candidacy will draw nothing
from it, but will kill the regular Re
publican party organization.
And even should some miracle
come to pass by which the Republi-
can fight would be patched up and
the factions united in support Of
President Taft, it would not affect
the prospects Of Democratic victory.
This is a Democratic year, and
Democratic President seems sure to
occupy the White House for four
years from March 4th, 1913.-Wil-
mington Every Evening.

WILSON'S ACCEPTANCE.

The speech made by Woodrow Will
son last week on accepting the Demo
cratic nomination is clean cut expo
sition of his stand on many Of the
questions which are today engrossing
the minds of the American people.
Crouched in language, plain and sim
pie enough to be understood by All
classes, it will prove a great docu-
ment to place before the thinking
American people.
There il NO lodging OF hedging or
single issue but a plain, frank,
straightforward stand taken, but not
In way to arouse the alarm Of those
who own that things are wrong but
fear the correction of the evils will
be so sudden as to sweep all away to-
gether. Wrong must b. righted; but
this REIMBURSEMENT must come by de-
grees, and not too many at time in
order that the Country may be able
to re-adiust itself liz accordance with
a new and right line Of action.
On the Tariff, Mr.. Wilson is more
explicit than upon any other issue,
and advocates tariff for revenue on
ly, but believes in gradual but sure
downward revision. Those products
which have been used by monopolies
and trusts to be boosted up in price
are the first which should have atten-
ton and they should be put On such a
basis a. to guarantee that the manu-
facturers shall have no special adj
vantage given them by the Govern
ment, i'm the way of special tax.
Mr.. Wilson shows that he il in
touch with the wave of National Nor
al awakening which is sweeping this
Country from end to end, and makes
it plain that he will do everything in
his power to correct the abuses which
have crept into our political and bust
ness life.
1.-THE Rule Of Right and Common
Advantage will be one of the slogans

of the man fighting under it's banner
will give it an added significance in
the minds Of thousands, Of voters, and
carry Mr.. Wilson to the White House
where we believe his administration
will be lin every respect notable one
and mark the return of the people
back to their rights, and place special
interests and protected monopolles
where they will not have the aid OF
our government in forcing up prices.
Mr.. Wilson makes it clear that he
does not believe in the elimination OF
big business, but that these big bust
ness interests should not have it in
their power to hold the destines OF
people in their hands. Biz bust
ness il here and here to stay, and no
one wants to interfere. with legiti-
mately run business of any size, but
special privileges to these should not

WILSON'S ELECTORAL VOTE.

''The World sees no possibility
that the election Of a President will
be thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives.
1t will require 266 electoral votes
to choose a President, and 17S must
be conceded to GOV. Wilson at the
outset. These IT'S votes are repre-
scented by the States Of Alabama,
Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia.
That makes ii necessary for Gov.
Wilson to win So out Of the remaining
353 electoral votes. Twenty-Five can
be found in New Jersey and Indiana
which are sure to be Democratic
Fifty-two can be found in New York
and Connecticut, which are reason
ably certain to 20 Democratic. Ne
braska, with s votes, would give Gov
Wilson the necessary majority.
But Democratic prospects are much
brighter than this MIR. Bryan car
ried Colorado and Nevada in 1908.
Gov. Wilson is likely to carry them
this year, with the addition of North
Dakota. These three States have IA
electoral votes. Wilson's chances in
Ohio are better than Taft's or Roose-
velt's, and Ohio has "a votes. SEN
ator Gardner predicts that Wilson
will carry Maine, with votes, and
nobody familiar with political condi-
tons in that State can regard this al
an idle boast. In addition, Democrat
ic prospects in Massachusetts are as
good as any other prospects, and they
are anything but discouraging in Penn
sylvania. Massachusetts has Is cleo
toral votes and Pennsylvania has 3S
Any reasonable calculation based
on the existence OF Republican
party would give Wilson more than
300 electoral votes, but with the Re
publican party shot to pieces Ii l.
question whether the warning Taft
Roosevelt forces will save anything
of value from the wreck.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1912-08-16

The Republican newspapers are
continually harping over the fact
that Wilson has spent good many
years Of his life as President of a
college, filling various positions as
instructor, etc. They do not seem
to be able to get over the thought
that anybody but a professional poll
tician has been named. The Repub-
licans have % long been ridden by
bosses that they throw up their
hands in holy horror at the very
thought of selecting a standard bear
81 other than a politician of the
heavy jowled, money-grabbing, trust
patronizing class. The are unable to
comprehend the fact that the Ameri-
can people have arrived at stage
where they are doing their own
thinking, their own acting and are
going to do their own voting And
the happy part for Democrats is that
the Democratic party recognized this
sentiment and named man who has
fought crooked conditions, crooked
deals and crooked combinations all
his life and stands for the people
the masses of the people, who need
good, wise and judicious government.
With such a leader Democracy can
not well be defeated.

GIVES ILLINOIS TO WILSON
EX-Judge Dunno Predicts Roosevelt
Will Be Poor Third.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-FoTmer Judge
Edward ~. Dunno, the Democratic
candidate for Governor Of the State
of Illinois, hazards the prediction that
Woodrow Wilson will carry Illinois
at the November election; that Taft
will run second and Theodore Roose-
welt poor third. Judge Dunno has
just returned from a 2,000-mile cam
paign trip through the southern coun-
ties of Illinois.
Roosevelt enthusiasm is at its
height now" said the judge. And
many Republicans predict that the
Colonel will get more votes than Taft.
But there i large element OF voters
who are not making much noise, but
will stick by the party ticket. 1 be-
lieve the result will be Wilson first,
Taft second and Roosevelt third in

1t also provides that for every five
consumers secured the company can
be compelled to lay 366 feet.
Now the old city councils, instead
Of carrying over any amount OF,
main not needed when new hydrant
was installed, simply forgot about the
unused excess, and the water works
company profited. The same is true
in the matter OF additional consum-
ers.

can be put in with the company builds
ing only about half the amount This
leaves surplus of more than 1000
feet, and Mayor Elder asked that
this length of main be applied some
where else as needed. Vice President
Adams assented. The result Is that the
city could put in main 1000 feet

paying $50 for hydrant. If this had

city would have water. Instead only
