Democratic Candidate Gives His
 Ideas on Way Nation Should Be Governed.
SEES TWO BIG THINGS TO DO
Would Set Up Rule of Justice and Right In Handling Tariff, Trusts, Etc., and Protect Our People and Our Resources,

lCOuUlltI6S WHICH came tO lQS Illlle White House" to notify him of his nomination for the presidency by the Democratic party, Chairman Ollie James headed the committee and de- ,livered the speech of notification. In reply Governor Wilson, after thanking the committee, commented on the unusual nature of the coming campaign in which the candidates must address an awakened nation im- ipatient of partisan make-believe and lnever more susceptible to unselfish ap- Ipeals or to the high arguments of sincere justice. The forces of the na- Ition. he said, are asserting themselves Iagainst every form of special privi- llege and private control, and are seek ling bigger things than they have ever heretofore achieved.
 Two Great Things to Do.
 How do we expect to handle each of the great matters that must be taken up by the next congress and the next administration?" said MT. Will lson. and he answered his own query las follows:
 What is there to do? It Is hard to lsum the great task up, but apparently this is the sum of the matter: There are two great things to do. One Is to set up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monopoly, the adapta- tion of our banking and currency laws to the varied uses to which our peo- pie must put them, the treatment of those who do the daily labor in our factories and mines throughout all our great industrial and commercial un- dertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold governmental power in trust, for their service, not our own. The other, the additional duty Is the great task of protecting our people and our resources and of keeping open to the whole people the doors of opoprtunity through which they must, generation by generation, pass if they are to make conquest of their fortunes lin health, in freedom, in peace, and in contentment In the performance of this second great duty we are face ito face with questions of conservation land of development, questions of for ests and water powers and mines and water ways, of the building of an ade- quate merchant marine, and the open ing of every highway and facility and the setting up of every safeguard needed by great industrious, expand ing nation.
 These are all great matters upon which everybody should be heard. We have got into trouble in recent Years chiefly because these large things, which ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a number of persons as possible, because they touched every interest and the life of every class and region, have in fact been too often handled in private conference Our difficulty Is not that wicked and designing men have plotted against us, but that our common affairs have been determined upon too narrow a view, and by too private an initiative Our task now ,rs to effect a great readjustment and lget the forces of the whole people once more into play. We need no revolution; we need no excited change; we need only new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel.
 We are servants of the people, the whole people. The nation has been unnecessarily, unreasonably at war within Itself. Interest has clashed with interest when there were com mon principles of right and of fair dealing which might and should have bound them all together, not as rivals, but as partners AS the servants of all, we are bound to undertake the great duty of accommodation and ad- Justment.
 Revision of the Tariff.
 Coming to the tariff question, the governor said the schedules have been made up for the purpose of keep ing as large number as possible of the rich and influential manufacturers of the country in a good humor with the Republican party, which desired their constant financial support The tariff has become a system of favors, which the phraseology of the schedule was often deliberately contrived to conceal"
 Reasserting the Democratic convic. tion that the only legitimate object of tariff duties is to raise revenue for
