WILSON

Philadelphia Telegram (Stalwart
Republican): That the nomination o1
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency
was q wise move from q democratic
standpoint will be generally recognized
after the bitterness growing out OF
the strife and turmoil at the Balti,
more convention has subsidized. From
the gathering Of the delegates it was
apparent that there" was new ele.
ment within the party to be reckoned
with, that the old lea ders we're to be
forced into the background and 1ew
men put in control. This brought vii.
son to the front and the "elder states.
men, Of the democratic party were
unable to stem the, tide flowing so
strongly to the New Jersey governor. !.
While there was engendered a spirit
of bitterness among democratic lead
ers during the work of the convention
which will last for long time, the
effect will not :rbet tffelt by Wilson, ais
none Of it can be placed at his door
even by his opponents. He will lead
what is nearer a united organization
than has any. recent candidate of the
democrats and stand on platform
somewhat notable for being built Of 5all
the planks. believed desirable by all
wings and factions Of his party.

Chicago Evening Post (Roosevelt
3Repubiean): The democrats have put
their best foot forward at Baltimore.
They haye nominated; Woodrow vii
,son, the candidate of progression. ,. ...
It was a wonderful feat. Starting
with no strength among the old-line
leaders of his, party, with no section
of the established organization on his
side, with nothing but an "amateur''' =
campaign committee, the governor of
New Jersey has carried off the prize.
He probably could not have done it
had it not been for the battle waged
by MI. Bryan on the floor of the con
:vention against the democratic reac.
tionar les. He almost certainly. could
not have done it had it not been for
the wave Of progressive sentiment that
swept onward to Baltimore from the
fight made by the republican pro-
gressives at Chicago.
! We congratulate the democrats up
on picking out their strongest, candi-sz
date for the presidency. We congratu.
late the country upon the opportunity
of having such a man for president,
:should'it decide next November to in
trust it's destinies to the democracy;

Louisville Post (Republican): The
Democratic party honors itself in the
selection of Woodrow Wilson. He is
"a scholar, but he iss a man of action.
He is a man Of character and man
.of purpose He, has raised himself
above all entangling alliances, and he
has refused assistance from. men whom
practical politicians seek instinctively,
and in seeking surrender their indie
pendence. -. -- ~-
/ His independence he has :vindicated
and he has shown that the highest
courage in politics is the wisest dis

followers fear; no action for which any
explanation or apology is required.
