Governor Wilson's career has been
such as to reveal his powers both in
teilectual and administrative, and his
course as governor Of New Jersey-a
very difficult position to fill-has been
SO marked by courage and skill that
his fitness for the presidency came into
5he minds of the people all over the
country with the belief that a second

history and his work The State" used

Of the greatest use to him and the
country in case he becomes president.
Clearness of Utterance.
Governor Wilson's intellectual pene-
ration is not surpassed by any man
in Public life. and his power Of speech
is scarcely equaed in AS country.
Generally c!earneSS of utterance fol

that his W0rk in life has been mainly

inc IL hindrnnce rs some pretend to
think. must necessarily be helpful In
lifting him in the adjustment of means
to special ends AS president of Il
great university and rs governor Of a
great state he has had Il good field in
which to display his executive ability.
Moral courage. The president Of our
great nation needs to be man of the
utmost integrity OF character. a man

Of upright ness that is so we'll known
that the. people Will know that when he
Speaks he means what he says. Cleve-
land is the shining example Of this vir-
tue in American history Governor
Wilson's public and private life leads
uH to believe he possesses that sterling
integrity Of character that would be
the greatest possible relief to us in this
day of vacillation and uncertainty in
respect to public utterances.
He Is Calm and Thoughtful.
At this time, when we behold an as
pirant to the office of president who
several years ago declared in explicit
and unmiStHka Bile terms that he would
under no circumstances allow himself
to be considered Il candidate and who
today in terms just as unmistakable
himself for a third term-at
such Il time it would be an infinite re-
lief to have the opportunity Of casting
d ballot for Il man who is calm and
though: al and who cannot be moved
from the patti OF simple honesty and
Integrity any more than the sun can
be turned from its course. Such a
man | think Woodrow Wilson to be.
The controlling reason should be that,
all things considered. Governor Wilson
will be the strongest candidate the
Democrats can nan"-that is. the one
who will be NEST likely to win the con-
test for election We are not by any
means to conclude that a nomination
means an election, and the great prob
lem for the Democrats now is to find
the man who will get the most votes
and get them in the right states. In
my Judgment Governor Wilson has the
best prospect Of success in case of nom
ination for the simple reason that he is
we'll known TO be IL man of vast capa-
both intellectual and moral He
can be depended upon more than any
other man in America at this time to
say the right thing at the right time
and to follow his words by pond
ing action.
