New York Evening Post-I'or moth

moro notable than for lis sure read

clearly that what the people are seek

dnlses in not n word of twaddle
about those "historir principles" of
the democratic party which are often
pratcd about but never defined. 1t

himself, in un@tfcctv.. simplicity. as Il
servant of NE people IN helping them
to recover what, in Ihair government
and III their lives, thry feel has been
h."hcd away from them. That. in Il
word. is the burden Of his speech Of
acceptance. which is admirably fitted
To b" the beginning Co. his campaign.

Philadelphia PresS-Dr. Wilson is a
