t1is Political Ability and In. tegrIty-LoyaI to People.
 BY CHARLES c. HEiFNER, Chairman of Democratic State Com.
 mittee of Washington.
 know pretty accurately the senti. ment of the rank and file of the dem- ocrats of the West. They are strong ly in favor of Woodrow Wilson for our Presidential nominee next year. I feel sure that this statement will hold good in every state west of the Mis- sissippi River. recently spent some time in the east on business that brought me in touch with number of influential business men. Incl. dentally have had occasion to dis. cuss political conditions with these men and am glad to say that, regard less of past party affiliations, 1 ind them strongly in favor of Governor Wilson. It is not difficult to ascer- tain the cause of this faith and trust and confidence on the part of farm CTS. wage workers and business men in the political ability and integrity Of Woodrow Wilson. He kept the faith. A year ago while candidate for Governor of New Jersey he made certain pledges and promises to the people of that trust ridden state. The people took him at his word and elect ed him. the first democrat to be elected Governor in that state in six teen years, and to the gratifying amazement of all honest men and to the utter consternation of the political tricksters he and his loyal support CTS in the legislature proceeded to en- act laws and carry out plans in ex- act conformity with his pledged word to the people. Among the plain peo- pie everywhere he has come to be re- garded as . man whose performances square with his promises. Just such man is inperatively needed as the chief executive of the United States. Having demonstrated his practical ca pacity to accomplish things in his own state, though one branch of the legislature was of opposite political faith, 1t Is not surprising that there Is such an overwhelming demand for his elevation to the White House.
 All Favor Wlisen.
 believe the State of Washington will send a delegation to the next Democratic National Convention fa- vorable to Governor Wilson for our presidential candidate, and might say further that believe he Is the only democrat who can get the cleo toral vote of that state, and other Western States. We democrats out there are not unmindful of the merit. ed consideration which other great democrats are receiving at the hands of their fellow citizens throughout the country, but we believe Governor Wilson, more nearly than any other avowed candidate. typifes in his rec ord and his personality, those Quali- ties and characteristics which the average American Is proud to see ex- emplihed in the President of his country. Hence, his popularity in the East, the West, the North and the South. His record as a scholar, Ap educator, an historian and as stu: dent and writer on social and eco- homie subjects all combine tp equip him to be just what he Is today-e tl ished orator, 8 great statesman ea our logical leader in solving tho gF2 industrial and financial eueg which now disturb the business and which the republican par proved itself incapable eitheP
