This fact important bearing upon the quality of
Wilson's democracy His for the power men
bestow him checked by his knowledge that mans
greatest taken away by majority
He the kind of Democrat that cabin made
by himself than kingdom others him His
democracy of the old stock He hates arbitrary adventurous
power.
Such power possesses won by absorbing him
self IN his proper work He way
whatever happens election day He will lob
However there is doubt that Wilson will elevated and
there doubt that he will plunge with work
Of the presidency Only the presidency him as
to what he has always been doing thing the
course of nature
Wilson's democracy has serenity old Virginia type
of jefferson Madison and Monroe He their line But he
has travelled with the age
Wilson is by all odds the progressive man in the pres
dental lists because he understands do-that
the of modern politics in the organization working
world He knows that the make private pub
c its aim and operation make public business per-
sonal, more matteroffac and businessike
He the superstition that private affairs public

cees that it is impossible maintain higher standard in
Apubc life than obtains industry and trade he insists
that both standards together He is going knock
the brains big business contrary
brains into big business.
He the refuses be one They
fear him by instinct but the whole menace to them
theympe souls do yet fully comprehend Wilson under

sailor but he prudent And he mperturbable storms
These stormy timesn Europe, elsewhere

military campaigns toward miarsm and absoutisnl
Europe will leave the Great American republic standing where

Baered peoples of Europe
That the kind of role that the great have ALWAYS
meant TO play 1t the kind of thing Wilson about He
would the creative of that it's

army with banners
This is great day for the tyingou of government
It is day to sit tight in the saddle of Democracy
Wilson sits tight
