people win name the democratic
partys candidate for the presidency
In the next democratic convention
there viii be no boss whose voice will
be heard above the rallying cry Of
real popular sovereignty; tnere will
be no machine which will interfere
with the registering OF the peoples
will.
From Maine to California. from
Minnesota to Texas, the delegates
who will assemble to name the party's
Standard-bearer III the next campaign,

progressive. Such man is Wood
row Wilson, whose record in New Jer-
