We renew the declaration Of oui
last platform relating TO a generous
pension policy.
We call attention to the fact that
the Democratic party's demand for a
return to the rule of the people ex.
pressed in the national platform four
years ago has now become the accept.
ed doctrine Of large majority OF the
electors. We again remind the coun-
try that only by larger exercise OF
the reserved power of the people can
they protect themselves from the mis-.
use of delegated power and the usur.
patton OF governmental instrumentali-
ties by special interests. For this req.
son the national convention insisted
on the overthrow of Cannonlsm and
the Inauguration OF a system by which
United States senators could be. elect.
ed by direct vote. The Democratic
party offers itself to the country as
an agency through which the com.
plete overthrow and extirpatlon of cor.
ruption, fraud and machine rule In
American politics can be effected

Staunton, Va, on December 20, 1856.
lie is the son OF DR.. Joseph X. Wilson
a Presbyterian minister and the
grandson of Judge james Wilson,
an Irishman OF Scotch descent who
migrated from County Down to Phila-
delphia in 1907. James Wilson pros
pered and became manager OF the Au-
rora, leading Democratic journal,
Philadelphia then being the National
capital.
1t was at Steubensyille. Ohio. that
Joseph Ruggles Wilson. the father OF
Woodrow Wilson. was born on Febru-
airy 2s, 1922 He was the scholar of
James Wilson's family Jefferson Col
lege graduated him as valedictorian
in 1874. after which he taught school
and prepared for the Presbyterian
ministry at the Western Theological
Seminary and Princeton Seminary. In
1S49 Joseph II. Wilson married Janet
Woodrow. daughter of Dr. Thomas
Woodrow, famous Presbyterian min
lister of the day who was descendant
from ancient English stock. The Rev.
Mr.. Wilson became the father OF two
daughters before he was called as pas
tor to Staunton, Va, where third
child, q son, was born and christened
Thomas Woodrow.
When Thomas Woodrow was two
years old his father took pastorate
in Augusta, Ca, and soon became one
of the most noted ministers of the
South. Thoroughly equipped as a
theologian, and a pulpit orator of pow
er, he early reached and long main
tanned q position OF much influence In
his church. When the Civil War broke
out, he embraced the Confederate
cause.
Tommy Wilson. the Augusta school
boy, is described by Professor John
T. Derby. one of his teachers, as quiet
and exceptionally studious. The most
important instructor of young Wilson,
however, was his father. man OF
wide information on the affairs OF the
world. His father believed that no
body had grasped thought until he
could put II quickly and definitely In
to words. This he did himself. and
this he taught his son to do. AS re-
suit, Tommy came to learn the writ

Living at the college was rather
primitive; the boys kept their own
rooms, filled their own lamps, cut up
and brought In wood for their own
fires, and carried in water from the
pump. Young Wilson joined a liter
