seekers he would be compelled to meet
after his inauguration. II was one Of
the largest banauets OF the year, about
thirteen hundred being present
Gov Wilson said this was not a time
for partisanship. and that he had a GLIB
bet for any many who would attempt
To Start panic. Then he thrilled his
hearers with these words:
The time has come In this
country rhen men have DOT to
stand up and be counted and put
their names doion, on thts side
or on that. And I believe that
uhen they do there is going to
derelop O wonderful enthusiasm
for the right things. WIN thot
enthusiasm there WIII be a greet
discovery made. H tiU be de.

yity mean more for the prospect
~ Of the country than any other
thing"
Arriving late. tho President-elect did
not begin to speak until shortly before
II o'clock. He had prepared no speech
aAA did not sven Ne notes. He was
greeted With the rebel ysal' and long
cheering. Governors Sulssr was
among tbs guests. and J. p. Morgan

Washington. Gov. Wilson sasd he was

We should not be thinking nov. tina t
the Democratic party has won . great
victory. or that certain men have been
put into ONCE because they repre- ssnted
a certain set Of ideas.
I'VE should b thinking that there 10
. vast deal to 30 done With the United
states. That work 10 best done W for
getting that We are partasans ana By
Forgetting everything except the honor
ana integrity Of the nation. There are
men who cannot unders tand what con-
stitutss the honor Of u nation because
they cannot understand what oonsti-

OF q man does not consist In serving

GREAT CHANCE HAe COME IN

the power to do the nations thinking.
They took no account OF the sentiment
that existed in other parts OF the coun-

Is that it mas always thought that all
the thinking for the country was done
In New York. I used to be a provincial
myself. The way to get over proyin-
callsm Is to go about from place 10
place and and out what other men are
thinking"
Gov. Wilson went on to say that the
thoughts of the South had been I'M
ported 10 New York and that he con-
Cured in the statement that there are
no serious sectiona! differences In this
country" The world has changed, he

the America G.; the civil war. Then he
asked. What hase you brought from
the SOUTH and recalled that in the
