Nomination. Says v. Q.
osnstor hoice Smith.

Men high In the councils OF the
democratic party have declared that
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jef
Iey is the logical nominee for the pres
idency at the Baltimore convention
next June. Following are some OF
their estimates Of the man:
U. 8. Senator John Sharp Williams
Of Mississippi-Governor Wilson is IN
line with the trend Of political thought
which has taken hold of the people,
and believe he would be the strong
est candidate the Democrats could
name. He would get thousands OF
votes from progressive Republicans.
Thomas p. Gore, U. 8, senator from
Oklahoma-Governor Wilson embodies
the hopes and aspirations of the peo'
pie. His fitness is above challenge, his
availability is superior to any other
candidate More minds unite In the
support of Wilson than any other can
didate.
Josephus Daniels, editor Raleigh
News and Observer and Democratic
national committeeman from North
Carolina-No man in this decade has
appealed to the popular imagination
or 30 won the public confidence as
Woodrow Wilson, and everywhere
those who are looking for an end OF
government by bosses for their own
benefit and the enrichment OF what is
called "the interests" or big busi-
ness" look to Governor Wilson, ideally
fitted, as the man for the big Job
America wishes to have done. Wilson
has shown that he knows how to do
1t by the unparalleled record Of the
New Jersey Legislature under his lead
ership.
Richard Olney, secretary OF state
under President Observation-Disclosures
Wilson has proved his possession OF
the inestimable gift Of leadership, and
is of the type Of men in whom lies the
best hope Of the country's future. l
may add that he has a capacity and
propensity for telling the truth which
ia not always to the advantage and sat
isfaction OF those who ask for 1t.
u. 8. Senator Geo. e. Chamberlain,
Oregon-Why do | favor Woodrow
Wilson? Because first of all he is q
progressive man. 1 am tired Of stand
patters, and | believe the rest Of the
people in my locality are az tired OF
them as l am.
u. 8. Senator Obadiah Gardner OF
Woodrow Wilson would help
the Democracy in carrying Maine.
Former Governor c. q. Thomas OF
Colorado-Woodrow Wilson comes
nearer being the type of Democrat
who will appeal to the citizenship OF
Colorado than any other possibility
mentioned.
Louis Wylie, business manager OF
the New York Times-The growing
popularity and strength Of Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey are
due to the conviction in the public
mind that he is sincere and devoted to
the public welfare.
A. A. Quinn Of New Jersey, first
vice president Of the United Car
penters OF America-We have the
most progressive sovernor in the coun-
try. He will be our next president
Charles G. Heifner, chairman state
Democratic committee OF Washington
Woodrow Wilson stands for genuine
representative government-the actual
rule of the people.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
member Of congress from Alabama
II is very clear from wide observation
that Wilson's strength has SO grown
and 30 overshadows other candidates.
that the part Of all loyal Democrats,
It seems to me, Is to prepare the way
for his nomination as nearly as possi-
BILE by acclamation.
Judge A. Van Wagenen, Sioux City,
Ia.-Woodrow Wilson Is more progress
siye than Roosevelt ever was in bis
most excited moments, but he has the
determination OF an Andrew Jackson,
and the faith in the common people OF
a Jefferson, and with these he has a
clear perception of conditions as they
exist and Of methods by which wrong
can be effectively and peaceably
rghted.
Hoke Smith. United States senator
trom Georgia-Woodrow Wilson was
made to order for the next Demo
cratic nomination.
II. S. Senator Francis @. Newlands
OF Nevada-Woodrow Wilson has be-
come a national voice.
Eugene A. Reed, Democratic COM
mttteeman from New Hampshire
woodrow Wilson represents every
thing that a good Democrat should
represent
A. g. Bmleson, member OF congress
from Texas and chairman Of the Dem
ocratic caucus Of the house OF repre-
sentatives-It would amount almost to
treachery for the Democratic nation
=, conysntion not to seize the oppor-
t,n,tv Of success that would come to
N n II nominated Woodrow Wilson.
