New York Colleagues Wow That New

[Atlanta (Ga.) Journal

ATLANTA (Ga.) Journal
Senator O'Gorman Of New York de-
clares that Woodrow Wilson If chosen
the Democratic nominee can carry that
state against any Republican.
A weightier comment on present day
politics has not been made. 1t brushes
the flimsy pretension that Woodrow
Wilson's candidacy would lose or i'm
peril the party's chance in New York
state and indicates his strength in the
strategic center of the east as we'll as
in the west and the south.
Coming from a leader of Senator
O'Gorman's prestige and farsighted-
ness, this estimate is particularly sig
nifcant. He is the titular head Of the
Democracy Of New York, state that
has ninety votes in the nominating
convention and forty-five votes in the
electoral college, the state for which
both parties strive most vigorously In
presidential years as the key to ma
tional success. He has the support Of
Tammany Hall, but he is immeasura-
bly, beyond and above the system with
which Tammany is identified In the
public mind. He is versed In prac-
teal politics, but he Is also states
man Of spotless record and Of rare
ability, so much so indeed that when
he was called to the senate the people
as whole, regardless Of party con-
nections, rejoiced that the duties Of the
Office had fallen, ',pon a man so emil
nently fitted to bear them.
OF all the Democratic nominees yet
suggested Woodrow Wilson would not
only stand the largest chance to carry
New York, but, according to the recent
testimony of Senator Gardner of
Maine, he is the only Democrat who
could win portions Of New England. :
From the clear headed testimony Of
these two eminent Democrats, Sena-
tor O'Gorman of New York and sena-
tor Gardner of Maine, it is evident that
Governor Wilson is particularly strong
in the very places wherein his foes
would have us believe he is fatally
weak. "2 80,
When to this fact is added the conf
dence and the following he has won
over the country as whole there can
be no fair minded doubt that Of all
the aspirants in the field he is by far
the best fitted both as a statesman and
a candidate. ..,

SPIRIT OF the TIMES
TYP|F|ED BY WILSON
Iowa Pleased at Solution Of
Present Problem.
[Des Moines (Ia.) News.1

[Des Moines Qa.) News.
Woodrow Wilson typifies the new
spirit Of the times in things political
He is the embodiment of the new
thought in the nation.
This clear headed and profound
scholar brought to the Iowa people a
message Of hope and good cheer He
came carrying the standard of a pro-
gressive army Of thoughtful Ameri-
cans, fully determined that whatever
else may happen it shall be brought
about that this shall again be gov
eminent by and for the people.
In his Coliseum address the governor
properly assumed that there are ten
denotes in American life that are
wrong, that evils have grown up. that
we have got away from the moorings
of free government. No need to dis
cuss these things. But what is the
remedy?
He analysed the problem with the
dispassionate logic of the great univer-
sity teacher before his class. lie was
especially happy in his characterize
ton Of the problem as one relating to
'privileged business rather than "big
business" for it is not size so much as
it is the enjoyment Of special privilege
that makes some business destructive
Of all that is good in commercial and
political life. He was right, too, in
leading back to the original source and
refuge of all special privilege-the pro-
tective tariff.
Without attempting to go into details
he pointed out that the remedy that we
all are seeking must be secured, if at
al. through agencies that are free to
act No axiom of the school books
could be palmer.
Woodrow Wilson brought to Iowa
people message they hear with eager
ness because they want just such a
message. He spoke from the stand
point Of the lifelong and earnest STU
dent of world politics. as one who has
approached the subject with ripened
intellect and we'll trained mind and
following the eternal principles Of
truth. has reached q conclusion that
cannot be assailed Without any ora
torical 1ourishes he held his audience
entranced. He said nothing but that
which he knew to be true. He made
no use of merely fine sounding phrases.
II was cold logic, yet told in simple
and direct language.
Here, then, is the new man in poll
tics. man come as a prophet among
us to preach. the new gospel. We have
come upon new time, when things
are different, when the problems are
not whist they once were, when the
people are eager for some discussion
of present day politics in the light of
present day conditions. That is why
Woodrow Wilson's message t. Iowa
people was so refreshing, 80 inspiring.

Lakewood IN. N.Y. Progress: 1T is a
significant fact that about three
fourths Of the small Democratic and
progressive newspapers Of the country
are for Woodrow Wilson, and all Of
the Republican papers are doing every
thing in their power to defeat his NOM
nation for the presidency. This goes
to show who the Democrats want and
whom the Republicans fear"

BEING A DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. Hsarst's Varied Experience In
Serving the Party.
New York World.1

New York World.]
Sadly and sorrowfully the Hon. VII
liam Randolph Hearst reads the Hon.
Woodrow Wilson out Of the Democrat
ic party.
In a long and anguished letter to
the Washington Post Mr.. Hearst says
Of the governor Of New Jersey:
1.-THE whole trouble with Professor
Wilson is that he is not Democrat
and does not know how to be a Demo
crat. His Democratic pose is assum-
ed and therefore awkward and un-
natural"
But is there no hope for Woodrow
Wilson? Can he never scale the ex-
allied heights Of Democracy which Mr..
Hearst has attained? We know, Of
course, that Governor Wilson began
wrong, but perhaps the mistakes of
the past can be remedied.
To be truly Democratic Governor
Wilson should have run as munich
pal ownership candidate for mayor in
1905 in order to defeat the regular
Democratic candidate.
In 1905 Governor Wilson should have
spent $25OOOO organizing an Independ
ence league to name him for governor
and then used this league to club
stolen nomination from Murphy after
Grady had "done the dirtiest days
work of my life" %,...s ~
In 1907 Governor Wilson should have
gone into partnership with the Repub-
lican bosses and the Republican ma
chine and placed fusion" ticket in
the field against the Democratic ticket.
In 1908 Governor Wilson should have
financed and nominated IN independ-
ent presidential ticket to help Taft and
Roosevelt defeat Bryan. 49, .5.a.
In 1900 Governor Wilson should have
run as an Independent candidate for.
mayor against the Democratic candi-t
date, with the support Of Chauncey
NJ. Depew, the Republican bosses and
other reform" elements. , s
In 1910 Governor Wilson should have
been an Independent candidate for lieu
tenant governor in the hope Of defeat,
ing the Democratic ticket and keeping
the Republicans in power in Albany.
In 1911 Governor Wilson should have
again nominated fusion" ticket IN.
partnership with the Republican ma
chine. Then, ~ soon a. his fusion
ticket was beaten and 1t became ap-
parent that the Democratic party had
a chance Of winning the presidency he
should have formally announcsd his
