and fearless executive. Of his per-
sonal characteristics from the aocu- |
sations Of disloyalty to a friend !
brought by the famous editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal-only praise
is heard.
Chicago Journal (Rep.): With such
candidate, running on such a plat
form, every true progressive can rally
under the democratic banner. "A third
party would mean nothing but the
restless ambition of single man. That
is not a good basis from which to
appeal for the support Of the American
people.
The nomination of Wilson marks tho
change Of the democracy from a party
of protest to party or achievement.
The seer has given place to the ad-
ministrator. Credit for this change
belongs to that inspiring leader and
intrepid fighter, William Jennings
Bryan.
Topeka State Journal (Rep.): But
regardless Of what may have been the
inside Vaccinations of the great po-
litical game that finally resulted in
the nomination of Mr.. Wilson, it is
none the less certain that a candidate
admirable in every way has been
chosen to strive for the highest office
in the land. And if the turn of the
political wheel should place Mr.. Will
son in the White House the people Of
the whole country can we'll feel that
their interests are in safe hands, and
that he will use his large abilities
in conscientious manner to make the
United States even a better nation
than it is.
Detroit Free Press (Stalwart Rep):
Nor is it to be overlooked that the
convention in choosing DR.. Wilson has
hit upon an exceptionally strong can
didate for it's party. He is distinctly
high grade man, with educational
qualifications that will commend him
to large number Of voters and with
reputation for efficiency in public
and private life that enchances his de-
STABILITY for the leadership of his
party at this particular time. If he
had been an outsider in the recent
struggle and had come into the contest
as a dark horse find he would have
doomed up as a wonderfully lucky
choice, and the country would as
suredly have congratulated the demo-
Gratis on their good fortune in pick
ing him.
New York Globe Progressive Ind.):
The Wilson candidacy in many respects
represents a new high water mark for
pure politics. We don't recall any
candidacy that has made as elevated
an idealistic appeal. DR.. Wilson is
conspicuously an obligationless candi-
date. He owes nothing to section, to
race, or interest, or Organization or
individual within his party. He is
free in remarkable degree-subject
to the limitations of the Baltimore
platform-to make his campaign as he
pleases.
Of national progressivism and in the
adoption Of society to the new con-
ditions Of civilization than in the sue
cess Of particular candidates. or par
ties may well welcome the nomination
Of DR.. Wilson as marking long for
ward step.
Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.): It would
be idle and blind to refuse to recog-
nize the high qualifications Of the can.
didate. Governor Wilson has already
made remarkable record, especially
as the exponent of the college and
educational leader transferred to the
political field. His qualities as a
speaker on political topics command
notice in the gubernational cam
paign and have been again DEM
onstrated.. His record of ad-
ministration as governor of New
Jersey, despite the handicap of hav-
ing spent in the presidential field, COM
prises excellent points of administra-
tive and legislative reform and has
raised New Jersey politics from the
lowest grade Of machine domination
on both sides to one of clear indie
pendence. It is to be recognized that
Governor Wilson will make a strong
candidate and honest president.
New York Evening Post (Ind.):
Woodrow Wilson 3 nomination at Bal
timore yesterday was a vivid illustra-
ton Of one of the doctrines which he
has long preached. This is the doctrine
that the American people are capable
Of taking charge Of their own affairs.
In nominating Wilson the great body
Of the party rose up to assert itself
against the professional compellers Of
conventions, who had kindly undertake
en- to dispatch the business. Governor
Wilson had consistently invited the
rank and lille to make their wishes
known, and that's what they did at
Baltimore, with splendid effect. It was,
in sober fact, popular, uprising that
nominated Wilson. His nomination
falls happily. It comes to him with
his party, and is received of good
will even from those who have been
politically hostile to him. That it
means vivifying Of the democratic
party, campaign conducted with dig
nifty and on a high intellectual level,
and, in case Wilson is elected, some
thing like new era in our politics is
universally agreed. To have got such
felicitous ending to the long hurly-
burly at Baltimore, is matter not only
for rejoicing, but for renewing faith
