Believes in the People

Washington, D. c., March-As in
tim ated in the last letter the news
papers have had lot to say about the
Inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, but
they did not say what was palpable to
every man in Washington who has
lived here for fifteen years as I have,
that the following was no. $50, 900, but
300, 1000 people, which is 100, 900 more
than has ever come to an Inaugural
tion in the National Capital.
1t was soul-inspiring and soul
stirring spectacle, and when Wilson
was inaugurated, he was induced into
Office by the biggest crowd that has
ever filed the streets of Washington
and not one 5enta of them hope to get
off ces under the present administra-
ton.
Wilson was the choice of the people,
and doubly 90 because he was the
right man in the right place. What

convined the people that he was the
right man to elect for the reason that
he believes is the people and is going
to take thsir sayso instead Of those
who usually direct the President.
President: Wilso is a Democrat and
will deal with the people as q Demo-
crat should. He will not be partial to
any section or any maa. He has shown
this as he has progressed 81 Presi.
dent and will continue to show it as he
grows older as President. He is being
shown up as the President of the CON-
munity at large without any regard
for politics whatsoever and will con-
tinue to show it as long as he is the
President Of the United States.
He will prove himself to be just what
he considers himself, President of the
whole people without any regard to
politics. Z.
President Wilson has asked the
Secretary of Agriculture to look into
the bill of my friend Lever of South
Carolina, and report to him if there is
anything the matter with it that it
should not pass the special session Of
Congress which is called for April 1st.
The truth of the matter is that the
Committee will appoint day on which
to see the Secretary and explain to
him Mr.. Levers bill in the interest
Of oleomargarine that will be passed
by the next Congress. There is no
reason why it should not be passed
because it is to the interest of the peo-
pie that it should be; otherwise, you
would not have seen Democrat in
Producing it. The passage of the
oleomargarine bill means that it will
cut down the character OF international
and interstate combinations and puts
them all under one Executive head
and thus places them all in the posi-
ton to be examined by the people,
therefore, this bill will attract atten-
tion wherever it is seen and will pass
as soon as it passes the Committee on
Agriculture.
The President has put upon every
member OF his Cabinet the onus OF ap.
pointment for every proposition that
he has to offer the people and woe be
unto the proposition If one Of them
neglects to report to the President
any proposition for the appointment
of any man, no matter how small his
appointment may be.
President Wilson has agreed to be
the President Of the people and he
will scrutinize every Presidential prop
osition that comes under his nose and
he has Secretary who will produce
everything that is done by his assis-
tants.
