comments of the principal indepen.

The nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president means a new
democracy. 1t means q new epoch

The democratic party at last has
broken its shackles. 1t has eman-

1t has turned its face to II e
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 coserie 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

From the Jackson. Mich. Patriot. Sept
IL. 1912.
AS to the general business Of the
country, although within less than
eight weeks of election, with condi-
tions growing feverish among candi-
dates, there can be no two opinions.
1t Is large and tends to become larger,
in some cases showing a volume new.
or before recorded.
This ia especially the case with
those industries which imply large
volume of business in other lines and
directions, such, for example, as the
industrial demand for fuel and the
biggest output ever known in manufac-
tured steel.
At no time In the history Of this
country has the production Of steel
been so great, and its relation to 9TH
er industries is shown In the large or
ders received from the railway equip
ment companies.
