Will Ring Through the Country.
Governor George w. Donaghey, Ar

will ring through the country. 1t is
just what he should have said The
people have never felt more confident
of success since the first nomination of

Jeffersonian to the Core.
John A. Dix. Governor of New
York.-"Governor Wilson's speech Of
acceptance is marked with broad vi
sion and clear thought, expressed in
language every American can under
stand. AS a business man and manu-
facturer. | am especially pleased with
his positive and statesmanlike position
on the paramount issue of tariff re-
form and his demand for an immedi-
ate downward revision. In sincerity,
precise statement and comprehensive
grasp of great principles and their ap-
plication of the fundamental needs of
the country the speech is Jeffersonian
to the core. 1t contains no appeal to
passion and excites no prejudice.
Governor Wilson has presented to his
party and to the nation clear concep-
ton of the truth that the real strug-
gle in the pending campaign is be-
tween the concentrated powers of priv
ilege and the aspiration of the Ameri-
can people to realize In their govern
ment and their economic industrial
and social relations the full measures
of the principles of freedom, justice
and progress, upon which the republic
was founded To all the issues and
every national need Governor Wilson
applies the rule of right and common
The reforms he advocates
are farreaching, but they are neces-
sary. sound and practical. The speech
will awaken and stir the national con-
science and lead to a triumph that
will restore to the people the control
of their government and inaugurate
new and happier epoch in the life and
of the republic"
Worthy Leader of Progressive Ameri-
cans.
Louis D. Brandeis. Boston.-"Gover-
nor Wilson's speech of acceptance Is
the utterance of a twentieth century
statesman. With keen perception he
recognizes the evils from which the
people are suffering and the dangers
which threaten our welfare. With
broad vision he points the way by
which those evils may be removed and
the dangers averted. He proves his
understanding alike of business and of
social needs and that he is Democrat
in fact as well as in name, and his
courage is undoubted. Progressive
Americans have in him a worthy lead

EquabIe and Moderate.
New York Sun.-"Governor Wilson'S
speech of acceptance has good luck
as well as merit. 1t comes just in
time to contrast sharply with the in
terminable bedlamite rant of Th. Den
tatus Africanus FeroX. And, ii with
out contempt of campus it may be
said. though written by college presi-
dent very recently retired, it is in the
English language, not anaemic and
seldom with suspicion Of priggishness
or donnishness. though it has an air.
a certain academic distinction of its
own. What will please everybody who
has living to make is Governor Will
sons equable and moderate tone. Gov
ernor Wilson is for repair, not for de
struction."
Partnership of the People.
New York Times.-"It is applicable.
The dominant thought, the very soul
of his discourse, is the common inter
est of all the people, their partnership
IN our activities and our prosperity
The partnership idea comes from his
mind not as a sublimated political the
ory, but as practical, immediate rom
