Waterbury Comm publican
Wilson is a new type in our politics.
He has a wonderful ability to make
the most abstruse subject fairly alive
with suggestiveness. He is a real
thinker, who penetrates straight to
the core of a matter while others are
fumbling on the outside. He is an
alert and winning speaker. All in all,
he is we'll worth watching.
Dubuque Qowa) Telegraph-Herald.
After keeping an open mind for
months in order that it might fairly
weigh all the evidence adduced in sup
port of and against the several candi-
dates for the democratic nomination
for president, the Telegraph-Herald
has reached the conclusion that the
fES5Sst interests of the party and the ma
ton will be served by the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson.
With whatever ability is commands,
it will from this day forth do all that
in it's power lies to further his inter
ests and influence the selection of dele
gates committed to his support. For
mo reasons personal and on no grounds
selfish is this course taken, but from
conviction that with the governor OF
New Jersey as its candidate the party
will deserve and achieve success in the
election.
