GOv. WILSON
 HE PEERLESS
Triumphant Leader; Public Servant Tried to Utter :. most But Never Found
 Wanting

 i Former JlGsa .'uhn w Wescott af | Camden. N. J., in placing Governor i Woodrow Wilson in nomination for [ the presidency said:
 i New Jersey, once bound, but, by the moral energy and intellectual great ness of a single soul. now free, comes to this great convention, in the glory of her emancipation. to participate in your deliberations, aid in forTnulat- 1 ing your judgements and assist in ex- ecGting your decrees. The New ter sey delegation is not empowered to exercise the attributes of proDrietor- ship. but is commissioned to represent tn great cause of democracy and to lcifer you as it's militant and triumph ant leader. a scholsr not a eharlaian: a statesman. not a doctrinaire: a pro found lawyer. not a splitter of legal l hairs; 8 political economist, not an egoustical theorist; a practical poll tician, who constructs, modider, re- strains without disturbance and des- truction: a reoistless debater and con summate master of statement. not a mere phrasemaker: a humanitarian. not a defamer of characters and lives a man whose mind is at once cosmo- politan and composite of America: gentleman Of unpretentious habits. with the fear of God in his heart and the love of mankind exhibited in ev- cry act of his life; above all public servant who has been tried to the ut termost and never found wanting- peerless, matchless, unconquerable.
 No Compronnise
 New Jersey has reasons for her course. Let us not be deceived in our premises. Campaigns of vilification, corruption and false pretense have lost their usefulness. The evolution of national energy is towards more intelligent morality in politics and in all other relations. The line. of cleay- age is between those who treat poll tics as game and those who regard it as the serious business Of govern ment The realignment of political parties will be on this principle.
 The situation admits of no compro- mise. The temper and purpose of the American public will tolerate no other view. The indifference of the Amer jean people to politics has disappear ed. Any platform and any candidate not conforming to this vast social and commercial behest will go down to igncminiUus defeat at the polls. Platforms arc too often mere historic rubbish heaps of broken promises. Candidates are too frequently the un- fortunate creatures of arrangements and calculations.
 Exigencies, conditions, national needs and necessities make better platforms and produce greater lead CTS than does the exercise of propTie- torship A disregard of this first premises will bring our dreams crash ing in ruins next NoyeEber.
 "our" Constitution
 Again the eternal conflict between equal opportunity and special pFivi- lege is upon us. Our fathers wrote the issue Of that struggle in our con stitutions. They declared all men to he free and equal In a single cen tury that principle developed the North American continent, leayening the world with it's beneficence. in spired all nations with hope aud made the United States the asylum of the world. Yet America, at this very hour, presents the most stupendous contradiction in history-a people pO- Iitically free, while economically bound by the most gigantic monopo- lies Of all time and burdened by a system of taxation which exploits mil lions to enrich few.
 We have preserved the forms of free Goni. but are fast losing it's substance. The evils of this condition are felt in
 Al q rsrhf fhn Therefore it is that America is awake. Therefore it is that a mistake in our premises will be fatal Therefore 1t is that the situation. national exigen- cy. the crisis, call for the right man. Therefore it is that silent and re- sistless revolution demands our pa triotic and best judgment
 Individuals are ss nothing, and per sonal ambitions are worse than Hoth- ing. If the chosen candidate fails in any sense or in any degree fully ana completely to meet tine call Of the na- ton, he is doomed to defeat.
 Known By Deeds
 Men are known by what they say and do. They are known by those who hate and oppose them. Many years ago Woodrow Wilson said, No man is great who thinks himself SO, and no man is good who does not try to secure the happiness and comfort of others" This Is the secret of his Iarafion. win become the creed of a waiting people Nominate him, be- cause his sterling reputation IS not the creation of a day or night. but the sure and steady growth Of eight cen years of splendid service iR con gress cuiminating in conceded party leadership.
 He is a man who in moral action
