two old buildings in Philadelphia and
whose elevation pleased him.

architect Washington wrote: 81 saw

the same elevation and front that are
given to my new houses which pleas

the rear.

structures. Later they were merged

VOICES UNANIMOUS
SENTIMENT
columbus Times. ]

Vice President Marshall's statement
that 'the Democratic party will have
only one candidate for President in 1916
and his name happens TO be Woodrow
Wilson" will excite no controversy.
Nor will anybody question Mr. Marshall $
assertion that the President will have
the enthusiastic unqualified and united
support of his party"
The Vice President has said what is in
everybody's mind.
There is no Democrat anywhere who
now wants to be known as an anti-Wll-
son Democrat. There are few Republi-
cans who are eager to pose as opponents
of the President except OH abstract is
sues of party principle. Mr.. Wilson's
conquest of public opinion is a moral vic
tory for which there is no parallel III
American politics.
1t required the greatest war OF modern
times to reveal the American people to
themselves, but when the revelation
came it was instantaneous The ideals
the "schoolmaster' suddenly stand
forth above the smoke of battle as the
commanding ideals of democracy
throughout the world.
Unless a radical change takes place Ill
the mind and purposes of the American
people during the next two years, Wood
row Wilson S reelection is hardly more
in doubt than his denomination.
