In the midst OF all the charges and
countercharges flying back and forth
between the two factions of the repub-
Lean party. Woodrow Wilson stands
serene and uuassailed. He has no past

year OF his life has been lived In such
a way that nov. when he stands on the
heights, no man can say a word
against him or cast aspeTsions upon
his record or impugn his motives.
There is no question in the minds OF
The American people as TO Wilson's
honor and truthfulness No faint OF
steel trust or standard Oil corruption

voived him in heated exchanges with

Mr.. Woods arrest is worthy of the
attention Of every man, woman and
child in the country who wears wool

Wood and his fellow wooden trust
magnates contribute heavily TO repub-

been in the habit of placing the tariff
on woOlens high enough 10 keep out
all competition, so that the wooden
trust could be free to charge any
price they desired, up TO the limit Of
the ability OF the people to pay. The
result is that Americans are paying
