$4,000 our late Governor and present
President, Woodrow Wilson.
I'VE have had in the last three years
in this State, under Democratic legis-
lation, more reform and progressive
legislation than We have had for the
past seventeen years under Republi-
can administrG ton. Now the ques-
ton is, are We going to continue the
kind of government which we have
had for the past three years? Ar
you going to continue those Wilson
policies for the next three years, or
are you goins back to the old condi-
ton of things?
IT have believed i'll these principles
and these policies for many years. :
have been a member of the Leglsla
ture for eight years, my first term
commencing in 1908, and during my
service l was in the minority all OF
the time except during the past year
and, although how l strived. 1 could
never accomplish what l wished to.
1T was the kind of legislation
which you have had during the past
three years that has helped to over
turn the old condition of things and
brought into power the new admins
tration.
Now, am before you representing
those principles and policies. 1 am
trying to receive your support and
votes at the coming election.
