SOME BIC
|. THINGS WILSON
HAS DONE
a RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
WITHOUT PARALLEL IN THE
HISTORY OF THE NATION -
HAS STOOD FOR PEACE.

Washington, Aug. I9.-Some OF the
things that Woodrow Wilson hes
done for the American people during
his administration, which has yet tc
reach the first year and half of its
existence, towit:
A firm foreign policy-one OF watch
full waiting prevented a wal
with Mexico, and made impos ssib'e
untold loss OF lives, the demoraliEa
tion of business, and a staggering
war debt. On the othe- hand the
Mexican people have advanced as
never before by the presidents fight
to restore to them possession of their
land
4 revision of the rules of business
without the usual and heretofore IN
evitable panic. As the result Of the
efforts Of the president the laws have
been made the same for everybody
big and little-not by wholesale
denunciation and litigation, but by
peaceabe and judicious means.
III.
Refutation of the oft-repeated
taunts that the democratic party had
not capacity for solving questions
requiring constructive treatment Wit
ness the currency, income tax, tariff,
the nearly completed trust bills and
other wise legislation that has not
only received the votes of democrats,
but the votes of the republicans and
bull moosers as well in both the SEN
ate and house.
A tariff that compels the trusts to
sell as cheaply to you as to the peo-
pie of foreign lands. Framed with
out concessions to special interests.
V.
A currency law under which you get
your money when you need it-one
that prevents panics and insures
stable financial conditions.
VI.
An income tax that places upon the
rich a Just proportion of the 81 ,O00.-
100000 year which is now the eost
of maintaining the federal govern
ment.
An arbitration act providing for
Cancellation and arbitration in con
troversies between capital and labor,
which has already been successfully
employed in preventing great strikes
that would have tied up the entire
railway business of the nation.
VIII.
Enlargement of the scope Oe tie
parcel post, which has reduced 'he
cost of transportation, and become
a lasting and convenient instrument
of benefit to the consumer ard pro-
ducer
Trust laws based on the Golden
Rule-"The trusts must do unto OH.
ers as they would have others do
unto them" l. e.,
Obey court DEGREES!
Abandon unfair cutthroat compe-
tition
Cease discriminating between iar-
chasers of their goods,
Disgorge control of competitors
acquired under the holding company"
system.
Surrender the enormous power
welded through interlocking drec-
torates
ONote-This gives you and your son
a better chance in life).
Y.
Legislation providing for co-opera-
tive agricultural extension work.
N.
The fostering and development of
commerce at home and abroad as
never before. Legislation recently
enacted will result in the dispatch of
commercial attaches to all foreign
countries in addition to the location
of offices of this branch of the ser
vice in the various, large cities at
home.
FINALLY.
Your president has worked untir-
ingly and with a sincerity entirely
new to our political life for what he
considered the best interests of man
kind. He has worked increasingly
and without vacation-day in and
day out-for the rank and file of the
public and not for any clique or group
He has worked for peace-peace at
home as well as peace abroad
The record made by Woodrow Will
son is without parallel in the entire
history of the nation.
