PRESIDENT PREDICTS HIS PARTY'S SUCCESS
 AT NOVEMBER POLLS
Open Letter To Leader Under wood Gives Reasons For Be- lieVing Wilson Policies Will Strengthen Democrats

Wilson made public today a letter to Majority Leader Underwood of the House, in which he reviewed the achievements of his administration. outlined the program for the next ses, sion of congress and declared the democratic party is now in fact the only instrument ready 10 the country's hand by which anything can be ac complished"
 The president wrote the letter as an endorsement of all democratic mem bers of congress in lieu of speeches he said he would like to make in every congressional district He pre- dicted victory for his party in the cleo. tions because every thoughtful man sees that a change Of parties just now would set the clock back, not forward" and because "a practical nation is not likely to reject such a team, full of the spirit of public service, and sub stitute, in the midst of great tasks. either a party upon which a deep de moralization has fallen or a party which has not grown to stature that would warrant its assuming the re- sponsible burdens of state"
 The legislative program began dur ing the present congress was declared by the president to have been begun "to destroy private control and set business free" He said that the peo. pie of the country had been served by this congress as "they have never been served before."
 Outlining the work already accom- plished Mir Wilson mentioned the TO. form of the tariff. the passage of the new currency bill. the antitrust bills and the handling of foreign problems. He said he doubted if there has ever been a finer exhibition of team work or cf unhesitating devotion to the ful- dilment Of party pledges"
 Praising the new tariff bill. tht president asserted that private con trOl had shown it's sinister face on every hand in America. had shown it for a long time and sometimes very brasenly. in the trusts, and in the virtual domination of credit by smai groups of men, He said that high prices did not spring directly from the tariff but out of the suppression of competition which flourished more easily under the protection of high tariff He declared that the panic which opponents, of the new bill pre- dictsd had not come and that despite the European war there had been suf hcient time to prove the success of the act
 The trade commission bin and tho Clayton antitrust bin were spoken Of as designed to make men in a small way Of business as free Co succeed as men in a big way and tc kin monop. oly in the seedT He added that mon opOiies are built mp by unfair methods of competiition' which would be elim. mated by the new legislatiop Mon. opoly is to be cut on at the roots, he declared.
 "lt our party were to be called upon to name the particular point or pr.n. ciple iH which it differs from it's op- ponents most sharply and in which it feels itself most definitely sus- tained by experience, continued the president I've should no doubt SAY that it was this: That We would have no dealings with monopoly, but reject it altogether, while our opponents were ready to adopt it into the realm Of law and seek merely to regulate it and moderate it in it's operation. It is our purpose to destroy monopoly and maintain competition as the only effectual instrument of business Iib- erty"
 Justice has been done the laborer. declared the president and his labor is no longer to be treated as if it were merely an inanimate object of | commerce disconnected from the fort mes and happiness of a living human being to be dealt with a san object of sale and barter"
 said ~We have created a democracy of credit such as has-never existed in ] this e untry before" He declared that Cred is nov at the disposal of every mau NhO can show energy and ss- sets " and because control or the sys. tem rests with the government said. ''t is selfgoyernment as well as de- ui1cracy"
 lt was impossible to complete rural i credit legislation, the letter added b1t ihe federal reserve act itself "fa- ! cilita.et and enlarges agricultural credit to an extraordinary degree"
 Speaking of the program for Che lreEt session of congress. Che president T Htioned legislation fer building un the american merchant marine and 'the completion of a great program for the conservation of our natural re sr urces and the development of the
 water power of Che country"

 seryce to the world can not be brought. Co its full realization" ] AMEplCAM IfNrp
