INDEPENDENT PRESS
SUPPORTS WILSON

The nomination of Woodrow
Wilson by the Baltimore conven-
ton has received the hearty indorse-
ment of the independent news
papers. Below will be found the
comments of the principal indepen-
dent papers on his nomination:
E.. The nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president means a new
democracy. 1t means a new epoch
in American self government.
The democratic party at last has
broken its shackles. 1t has eman-
cimpated itself. 1t has rehabili-
tated itself in power and principle.
1t has turned it's face to tt
rising sun, to re-establish the faith
of the American people in their
own institutions.
No political boss brought about
his nomination. No political
machine carried his candidacy to
victory. No co:erie Of Wall street
financiers provided the money to
finance his campaign. He has no
debt to pay to corrupt politics or
to corrupt business. He was NOM
mated by the irresistible force Ct
public opinion, and by that alone.
He stands before the country free
man.-New York World Ind.

ventional, but the meaning is not

Baltimore Sun (Dem.).
No party ever nominaed a can

enter the presidency as the Impair
tial representative of the whole
people. Woodrow Wilson would
have been nom mated on the first

willing to deal in the usual political
way for support. but he has kept
himself free to be the representa-
tive of the whole people when he
becomes their PRESIDENT

Times lind. Dem.)
Woodrow Wilson fits the era.
No better choice could have been
made. He was the logical selec.
ton. His opinions are we'll known;
his qualifications are explicit: his
character is unassaiIable and his
achievements such as warrant his
promotion to the office of president
of the United States Boston
Globe (Ind.).
This is day Of new tasks and
new leaders. The record of Cover.
nor Wilson in the executive chair
at Trenton has been just source
of pride to every democrat. He
has been firm on issues of principle
and wise in matters of policy.
His achievements belong to US all.
He is man of outstanding in

und.).
The nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president of the United
States by the democratic coRven-
ton at Baltimore is a miracle of
politics. Regardless Of how much
faith honest believers in popular
government may have in the ability
or the good intent of the democratic
party to restore the control of their
government into the hands of the
people all should concede joyfully
that a great victory has been won
Tor popular rights Philadelphia
North American (Rep.).
1t was not a series of trades and
dickers which brought him to the
head of the poll at Baltimore, but
simply the deepening of the general
conviction until it became invinc-
ible, that he was the candidate
best fitted to lead the party at this
juncture. His nomination thus
achieved not only leaves him erect
and unclogged, but discovers an
array of defeated and discredited
bosses almost without a parallel
New York Post (Ind.).
Governor Wilson repr. sents, too,
form of democracy which should
be encouraged in America rather
than the form which Mr.. Roosevelt
now represents. There is no trace
of Caesarism and Bonapartism in
his candidacy. He menaces no
wholesome republican tradition like
that against the third term. He
stands for democratic democracy
and not for a snowy. inlperialistic
democracy. We do not confront in
his case the insidious peril of hero
worship, and with him in power we
should have democracy forever
entertained, beguiled and hypnotic

1.-THE NSQUAW MAN" PLEASES
 POLPS FIRST NIGHTERS
Production Made Famous By William Faversham Gives Gus Forbes and Marguerite Starr Splendid
 Onps0rtJInitioS
Opportunities

Fresh from 8 triumphant tour of the principal cities, "The Squaw Man. was presented by the Poli Players last night to an enthusiastic audience. This romance of the west from the pen of Edwin Milton Royle was first pro Julie Opp in the leading feminine role. It has wonderful dramatic pos abilities and holds the attention Of the audience every minute.
 The play tells the story of Capt. James Wynnegast, a member of a. proud English family who leaves his home In disgrace in order to shield America where he becomes a cowboy and takes an Indian girl as his bride. The big scene comes when Jim de- cided to take his little boy away from the Indian mother and send him back to England to be brought. up as an earl.
 Gus Forbes was excellent in the part of Capt. James Wynnegate, who was afterward known as Jim Carston. He was at all times fine, manly fig spirit of the part. He is without doubt the best leading man the Poli Players have had so far. Most of the previous ones obtained their popular ity more by playing to the audience than by real acting ability.
 Miss Marguerite Starr gained favor as Diana, Countess of Kerhill. She looked the part of a regal lady and her acting was impressive through out
 Edward Van Sloan was good as Henry Wynnegate, Earl of Kerhill the villain in the play. Miss Corinne Cantwell as ''Nat-u-ritch,'' the Indian bride of Jim, won all hearts by her superb acting. Guy Harrington, a, new member of the company, estab- 1ished himself in favor by his clever portrayal of Cash Hawkins
 Miss Jessie p. Pringle did we'll as the Dowager Lady Kerhill. Stuart Fox was irnn1ense as Sir John Apple gate. Charles R. Jewett of this city had two parts. He was first seen as Rev. Chiswick. Then he made a startling change and in the final. acts became a cowboy He was satisfac- tory in both parts. c. Wilson Hum mel deserves praise for his work as Tabywana, an Indian chief
 '"The Squaw Man is the best pro- duction put on by the Po1i Players in over 8 month and it will undoubtedly draw crowded houses this week.
