IN MASSACHUSETTS
Democratic Candidate is
Pushing His Campaign
in Old Bay State.

Boston, April 27.-Woodrow Wilson
delivered a political address In Ire
mont Temple last evening, speaking
In part as follows:
I'VE are facing political situation
which ought to give every thougthtui
nan the deepest concern. and Wh1ch
imposes the gravest responsibility up
on those who undertake to head par
ties. There are questions both eco
nomic and political to be dealt with
which require the greatest sobriety OF
Judgment the greatest firmness of
purpose and the greatest possible en-
iightenment Of opinion. The country
is seeking, on all hands. some set of
leaders, some organized and co-ordl-
mated body of men, through whom 1t
may act without passion. and yet
without timidity and hesitation. And
parties and candidates put themselves
forward to he chosen for this great
task.
"The republican party is not in
position to render it; 1t is torn asun-
der. It's progressive elements are not
in harmony with one another; they
follow no one leader, but are disturb
ed by animosities and suspicious OF
the gravest kind. And arrayed against
them in hot antagonism are the stand
nat and reactionary clements of the
party. the elements which tor a long
generation have been in control and
which have established dangerous
mastery, which they are jealous to
maintain and will fight to the bitter
end to preserve intact. as against all
comers. whether within their party or
without.
"It would seem. therefore. as II the
democratic party were the only party
prepared to render the great service

unity and integrity of that party. 1t

in such a situation, to speak particu-

be not to, lend his force to the COM
mon effort. but only to destroy a par
ticular person. with some of whose
past opinions, as he grotesquely misin-
terprets them, he happens to disagree.
"Mr. Hearst, on his part, has again
and again shown that he would refuse
to act with the democratic party
whenever the democratic party did not
act as he preferred and directed. He
has undertaken to destroy the charac-
ter, at whatever cost. to the truth. and

Against these things l protest. moi

Of the party itself. These are not the
courses of honor. patriotism or party
fiedlity. Every man who wishes ia
see the nation served at this crisis by
the only party that can serve it
namely. the democratic party-every
person who loves fair play and the
energy of real progressive politics
must repudiate such actions with all
the earnestness born OF patriotism
and devotion to genuine party con-
troll.
"I make this protest with all the
deeper feeling because 1t seems to me
that If at this critical moment the
Democratic party should be divided
its forces broken. it's leading men
made jealous of one another. its prin.

Mexico City now. but there is still

Americans Not in Danger.
Americans are not in danger in
Mexico. and I would feel safer in
many of the Mexican cities today than
in many places in the United States.
There never was a time when the
rights Of Americans were being given
than the present time in Mexico.
While this vague talk of Americans
being endangered is going on in the
United States. these Americans them
selves are being given a thousand
times more protection than the MeXi-
cans themselves. In many instances
Americans legitimately imprisoned for
crimes have been let out of Jail SIM
ply because they are Americans.
Mexico has not done one-tenth the
harm to Americans that Americans
have done to Mexico. Was not the

United States. with money from the
