Chief Executive.
Princeton, N. j., Nov. 6.-Standing
on chair on the porch of his home
last night President-elect Woodrow
Wilson addressed a crowd of 5000
men and women, nearly half of whom
were students from Princeton, who
had paraded out to the Wilson home
shortly before midnight to congratu-
late him upon his victory.
II am sincerely glad to see you,
said Governor Wilson. Il got up on a
chair so that you could not see the
patch upon my head When / see this
great gathering around me it carries
me back to many happy and laborious
days, and / cannot help thinking this
evening that something has only just
begun which you men will have a
great part in carrying forward; be-
cause, while we have gone headlong
In the progress OF this country, and
our very prosperity has betrayed us
into doing some things, into taking
some paths which we ought not to
have taken, there is much to recon
struct and the reconstruction must be
undertaken SO justly, so confidently,
by slow process Of common counsel,
that q generation must work out what
result must be achieved; and that as
you men come on, you will play a
Owno orn,tay- ~ ~
Achieved Great Triumph.
Therefore, my wish tonight is to
say to you what I would say to my
self The lesson Of this election Is a
lesson of responsibility. believe very
heartily that a great cause has tri-
umphed, that the American people
know what they want and that when
they know what they want they have
the men and the purpose to attain it;
bat that they cannot get what they
want through the activities of single
man or single session of congress
or a single group of men. They must
get it by long, tedious efforts, in
which this generation will take SO i'm
portant part.
II myself have no feeling of triumph
tonight. | have feeling of solemn
responsibility. / know that a great
task lies ahead of the men associated
with me and ahead of myself. There
fore, look upon you men with the
plea that you with your thoughts, your
best purpose, your purest impulses,
will stand behind me and support the
generous men OF the new administra-
ton"
Mistakes Have Been Made"
MANY things have been done. Mis-
takes have been made, but they can
be corrected. We must all have the
best tempers, the quietest minds and
yet the most resolute purpose in the
things we must do. Don't let any
man deter us from the cause.
II feel as Il were standing among
my younger comrades tonight. thank
you for the inspiration and exhilara-
ton that I received from your sup
port"
A great demonstration followed
Governor Wilson'S remarks, the
throng cheering, giving the Prince
ton yell and singing "Old Nassau"
