thousand-word synopsis of the speech
that he viii deliver at Williams Grove,

with the effort.
"You will see by reading this speech

helpless stenographer and talk to
him. It is like cruelty to animals.
Governor Wilson added that his
speech would deal largely with the re-
lation of the farmer to the govern
ment, centering around the tariff.
He will leave seagirt for Williams
Grove this afternoon, spending the
night in Philadelphia. He expects to
attend the Monmouth county fair upon
his return here on Friday, and on SAT-
urday evening will leave for Buffalo,
N. Y, where he will make a speech on

citations, should, in my opinion support
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency;
should support him fully, actively and
enthusiastically, for he possesses in a
high degree the qualities of an effective,
progressive leader.
Wilson is thoroughly Democratic in
spirit: he recognizes that all of the peo-
pie are entitled to equal opportunities
and appreciates that the development of
all of the people is essential to the at
tainment of American ideals; he under
stands the dangers incident to the con-
troll by a few of our industries and
finance. He sees that true Democracy
and social justice are unattainable un-
less this power of the few be curbed
and our Democracy become industrial
as we'll as political. He can meet the
demands properly made upon present
day executive, to be able to lead In
constructive craftsmanship as well as to
administer efficiently, for Wilson's char
acter, intellectual power and previous
training fit him peculiarly to take an
important part in progressive legislation
He is courageous and frank. able and
firm and always qualities
indispensable to safe leadership.
"Progressives should support Wilson not
only in order to secure his election, but
in order to enable him after election
to carry out those progressive policies
which he has so much at heart; MS
nomination ranks among the most en-
couraging events in American history
Under the masterful and mastery leader
ship of Colonel Bryan the ideals of
American Democracy triumphed over the
reactionaries and their money-bags; the
will of the people prevailed over the
