From Maine to California, from
Minnesota to Texas, the delegates

Standard-bearer In the next campaign,
win come with but one purpose in

toll.
In view Of this situation, situation
which is most encouraging to the
party, It is possible now to forecast
the result Of the democratic conven-
ton, and that forecast points uner-
ringly to the nomination OF Woodrow
Wilson, former president Of Princeton
university, and governor Of New Jer-
sey, for the highest office within the
right Of any people.
The democratic candidate must be
a progressive. Such a man is Wood
row Wilson, whose record in New Jer-
sey has stamped him as one of the
most progressive men in public life
The democratic candidate for the
presidency must be unafraid and free
from all influence OF political bosses.
Such a man is Woodrow Wilson, who,
In his own stats. endorsed a political
dictator whose power 40 one before
had shaken.
People Have Faith In Him.
The democratic candidate for the
presidency must be essentially demo
cratic. Such a man is Woodrow VII
son, whose political ascendency has
been accomplished only by reason Of
the faith the people have in him, and
who will carry into the high ONCE no
secret bargains with those who manip-
ulate politics for private gain.
The democratic candidate must be
morally and Intellectually At for the
place. Such man is Woodrow VIII
son, whose training enables him to
give to the great problems Of the
day an integrity above question and
mental capacity and knowledge Of
public affairs which has probably not
been excelled in an executive officer
since the days of Jefferson.
In Woodrow Wilson, there Is ample
evidence Of Americas ability to de
velop in each crisis in the nations
AFFAIRS a man who Is equal to the
emergencies of his time. Washington
appeared on the scene, when the dis
satisfied colonies needed strong man
and a military genius to lead them to
national independence. Jefferson came
when the new democracy needed a
man to take the reins Of the govern
ment from the hands of an embryo mo-
biiity and restore it to the people.
Jackson came when the money power
first asserted itself in the control of
the American government. Lincoln
came when the union was about to
break upon the rocks of domestic
strife.
The Man for the Occasion
And now, when greater problems
than those which confronted Wash
ington and Jefferson and jackson and
Lincoln demand courage and ability
of almost superhuman character;
when from the length and breadth Of
the land there goes up. as in 1860, the
prayer, God give us a man." when
plutocracysis enthroned in high places
and when the life blood OF the coun-
try IL being sucked by the vampire OF
big business; when greed and avarice
have been substituted for patriotism
and justice; when sporadic and half
hearted attempts TO right existing
wrongs only aggravAte them; when
the nation demands again the genius
of a Washington. the faith in the PEG
pie Of q Jefferson. the courage OF a
Jackson and the sublime patriotism OF
a Lincoln-At such time a. this Il Il
