Will Ring Through the Country.
Governor George W. Donaghey. Ar
kansas.-''1t was a great speech. 1t
will ring through the country. 1t is
Just what be should have said. The
people have never felt more confident
of success since the first nomination Of
Grover Cleveland"
Iowa For Wilson.
Judge Martin j. Wade, Iowa.-"For
the first time since the state was ad-

Jeffersonian to the Core.
John A. Dix. Governor of New
York.-"Governor Wilson'S speech Of
acceptance is marked with broad vi
sion and clear thought, expressed in
language every American can under
stand. AS a business man and manu-
facturer, I am especially pleased with
his positive and statesmanlike position
on the paramount issue Of tariff re-
form and his demand for an immedi-
ate downward revision. In sincerity.
grasp Of great principles and their ap-
plication of the fundamental needs Of
the country the speech is Jeffersonian'
to the core. 1t contains no appeal to
passion and excites no prejudice.
Governor Wilson has presented to his
ton of the truth that the real strug-
gle in the pending campaign is be-
tween the concentrated powers Of priv
fege and the aspiration Of the Ameri-
can people to realize in their govern
ment and their economic industrial
and social relations the full measures
Of the principles Of freedom, justice
and progress. upon which the republic
was founded. To all the issues and
every national need Governor Wilson
applies the rule Of right and common
advantage The reforms he advocates
are ~farreaching. but they are neces-
sary, sound and practical. The speech
will awaken and stir the national con-
science and lead to a triumph that
will restore to the people the control
Of their government and inaugurate a
new and happier epoch in the life and
development Of the republic"
Worthy Leader of Progressive Ameri-
cans.
Louis D. Brandeis. Bostor.-"Gover-
nor Wilson's speech of acceptance is
the utterance Of a twentieth century
statesman. With keen perception he
recognizes the evils from which the
people are suffering and the dangers
which threaten our welfare. With
broad vision he points the way by
which those evils may be removed and
understanding alike of business and Of
social needs and that he is a Democrat
in fact as we'll as in name, and his
courage is undoubted. Progressive
Americans have in him a worthy lead

Equabie and Moderate.
New York Sun.-"Governor Wilson's
speech of acceptance has good luck
as we'll as merit. 1t comes just in
time to contrast sharply with. the in
terminable bedlamite rant of TIL. Den
tatus Africanus Ferox. And. if with
out contempt Of campus it may be
said, though written by a college presi-
dent very recently retired, it is in the
English language, not anaemic and
seldom with suspicion of priggishness
or donnishness. though it has an air.
a certain academic distinction of it's,
OWL. What will please everybody WHO
has a living to make is Governor Will
sons equabIe and moderate tone. Gov
ernor Wilson is for repair. not for de-
struction."
Partnership Of the People.
New York Times.-"It is applicable.
The dominant thought, the very soul
Of his discourse, is the common inter-
est of all the people, their partnership
In u activities and u prosperity.
The partnership idea comes from his
mind not as q sublimated political the
DRY, but as a practical. immediate rem
edy."
Straight to tho Heart.
New York World.-"Woodrow VIII
sons speech Of acceptance is the ablest.
clearest. sanest statement Of high pub
lie purpose this country has known in
q generation. Without passion, with.
out invective. without abuse, without
partisan bitterness. without denuncia-
ton. without egotism. without dema-
gogy, he has driven straight to the
heart Of the supreme issue of Amer
lean institutions-the partnership be-
tween government and privilege"
