Rates For Political Announcements

President Wilson, following a pre-
cedent which he hin If established at
the opening of the ex Extraordinary ses-
sion of Congress last April, on last
Tuesday appeared in the halls of Con-
gress and read to that body his first
annual address or message.
Among the principal recommenda-
tiOns expressed in the document was
the advocacy Of direct primary cleo
tions for the selection of presidential
candidates; early action on Rural Cred
its legislation; Alaskan railways, anti
trust laws, the currency bill and many
other important measures.
Touching upon the Mexican situation
he said that the United States would
continue its policy of waiting for the
waning of the power of Huerts, who is a
mere military dictator, and declared that
there would never be peace in America
until his power was surrendered.
The president met with a splendid
reception at the hands of Congress, and
the applause which was frequent as
the reading of his message proceeded,
was not confined to the Democratic
members exclusively, both Progress
ives and Republicans joining with them
as the various measures which he aG-
vocated met with their approval.
