hlslory-a people politically free
While economically bound by the most
gigantic mcnCpolies Of all time and
ourdened by a system Of taxation
which exploits millions to enrich a

freedom, bet are fast losing it's sub

felt in a thousand WAYS throughout
the Land. Therefore il is that Ameri.

Therefore it is that tho situation. ma.

chosen candidate fails in any sense or
in any degree fully and completely TO
meet the call of the national, he is
doomed to defeat.
Men arc known by what they say
and do. They are known by those who
hate and oppose them. Many years ago
Woodrow Wilson said, No man is
great who thinks himself 81. and no
man is good who does not try to Sc
cure tho happiness ana comfort of 9TH
ers.' This Is the secret of his life.
Later IN his memorable effort TO re-
tain good scholarship and democracy
in Princeton University. he declared.
The great voice of America does not
come from seats of learning 1t comes
in murmur from the hills ard Woods,
and the farms and factories and the
mills, rolling on and gaining volume
until 1t comes 10 us from the homes OF
common men. Do these murmurs echo
in the corridors of our universities /?
have not heari them" A clarion call
to the spirit that now moves America.
Later he shouted, II will not CRY
peace so long as there is sin and
wrong in the world" Here is the very
soul of the silent revolution now

our common country.
Deeds Known to All Men.
The deeds of this moral and intel
lectral giant are known to all men.

the maxims Of American liberty in all
their regnant beauty and practical eff
fectiveness. New jersey loves Wood
row Wilson not for the enemies he
has made. New Jersey loves him for
what he is. All evil is his enemy. The
influences that have opposed him have
demonstrated his availability and iit-
ness on the one hand, and exposed the
unavoidabihty and unGtness of some
others IN the other hand. The infiu
ence that has opposed him blights and
blasts any cause and any person IL es-
pouses. That influence has appealed
to the sor1id. low and criminal Tha;
influence fattens on ignorance and
aNarice. The man that 'lccepts IT'S anu
so far as his public usefulness is con-
cerned. would he more fortunate had
a milestone been tied about his neck
and he mad been east into the depths
of the sea. New Jersey believes that
the opposition to Governor Wilson,
such as it has been. necessitates and
secures his triumph.
Similar necessities, motives and
causes impel all men alike. The same
necessities. motives and causes when
draw as by cmnipotencc substantially
all New Jersey about this great ana
good man. are identicahy the same
necessities. motives and causes that
are I'm resistless motion in every state
IN the Union. It's solidarity cannot be
disintegrated. False argument rails
