Representatives aud friends of eo called "big business enjoying special privileges and some friends of other candidates for the Democratic nofni. nation for president have Awtongfully and unjustly but diligently clrculated reports charging Governor Woodrow Wilson with having said ln his sHls. tory of the American People, that the Immigrants to this country from Poland. Italy and Hungary were un. desirable additions to our populntIon and were, as citizens, inferior to the immigrants to this country from C1llnn.
 The reports and charges s0 made and circulated are doing an injustice to Governor Wilson. He did not say that all the people who emlgrated from Poland. Italy md Hungary to this country were undesirable addi- lions to our population. nor did he say that Chlnamen would make us good or. better citizens than immigrants from those countries.
 What MT. WiIson Wrete.
 Governor Wilson says. Throughout the century tmeaning the hundred years prIor to 1880, men of sturdy stocks Of the north of Europe had made up the main strains of foreign blood which was evary year added to the vital working force of the country pr else men of the Latin-Gaeiic stocks of Irance and northern Italy."
 When Governor Wilson speaks Of the ssssssturdy stocks coming to our shores from the "north of Europe" and Isnorthern Italy.~ which addcd to our ssvital working force" he certainly in- cluded in the quoted description of such immigrants the hundreds of thou ssands of people who came here. from Poland prior to 1se0 and those wb6 came from Itafy and became part Of us and contributed much toward the upbuilding of this country. Poland Is . part of northern Europe, and her peo- plc who emigrated to this country prior to 1890 to become n part of us are cer- tainiy included in the complimentary description of Governor Wilson when speaking of the immigrants who came to this country prior to that time.

 Governor Wilson speaks thus Of some of the immigrants who came hero from 1880 to 1890: ~lmmigrants poured steadily in as before. but with m aI- feration of stock which students of af- fairs marked with uneasiness.' He speaks of the muItitudes of men q the lowest class from the south of Italy and from Hungary and Poland linen out of the ranks where there was nel. ther skill nor energy nor any initln- tive of quick intelligence. men whcee standards of life and work were sucl, as American workmen hnve never I11roamed of hitherto"

 The main opposition to Governor Wilson's nomination comes from these same protected menopolies md from the combines and tru6ts who inspceted the cheap pApper labor from Europe under contrast to compefe with and take the p4ees of tlps native labdesss and tloee who ca1ne hore 1rom Ill parts of Europe. incIudi1t Italy, Hun gary and POland, because they wanted to come, whose ambition, energy md desire to better their condition capssd them to leave their homes.
