fpresent, and as first on the list he
called on Senator Newlands, who said
in substance:
4 II matters of business having by
over two years ago at which all the
possible candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency
were present, | for the first time had
the opportunity to see and hear
Woodrow Wilson. Among the many
brilliant men who there spoke, Mr..
Wilson was pre-eminent. The cog
ency of his reasoning, the persuasive
ness and attractiveness of his elo-
quence and his intense sincerity con-
vlnced me then that he was the man
OF the hour. Later on when his can
didacy was at the lowest ebb as the
result of an attack made upon him
by Harvey and Watterson, | made
public statement declaring myself
tor his nomination and insisting that
he had become a national voice, ex-
presslve of the hopes and aspirations
OF national Democracy. Since then
that voice which spoke to the nation
has spoken to the world and among
executives, he stands highest as the
exponent of fair-dealing among ma
tlons, and the representative OF uni
versal peace, with honor.
Under Woodrow Wilson's leader
ship the Democratic party has reach
ed an achievement unsurpassed in leg
lslative history. In less than two
years 1t has reformed the abuses of
the tariff. strengthened our banking
and financial system, and taken hold
OF the trusts both by administration
and legislation in SO effective fash
ION as to insure the cure of existing
evils. Accompanying this has been
effective action regaring arbitration,
strikes, industrial peace at home and
international peace abroad.
The policy Of watchful waiting, once
the object of satire by our political
toes and the subject of uneasiness
and apprehension among Democrats
has been vindicated and todav Mr..
Wilson stands foremost among .he
warning nations of the world as the
man who has maintained peace for
his own country and who will yet be
the mediator for the world.
AS result of the economic lezis-
ALTON intended to reform existing
abuses, more or less business and
industrial disturbance was necessar-
lily created. Such disturbances al
ways accompanied changes in econo-
mic conditions. They are the result
not SO much of evils realized as of
Tears lndulged, and a psychological
condition which makes apprehension
seem reality. Those conditions
aroused criticism and hostility, which
were likely to be reflected at the
polls in the coming election, but the
outbreak of hostilities abroad, the
senseless destruction of lives and
property, the wild fury of so-called
civilized peoples, involving nothing
but mutual destruction, brought the
American nation, regardless of party,
to a realizing sense that it had as its
leader at SO important a juncture, a
man whose clearness of vision, whose
sincerely Of purpose, whose frmness
OF will and whose calm serenity
raised him above the warning poten-
tates and gave him world wide
prominence, and today under his
leadership Democratic success at the
coming election is assured.
Referring to state administration
Senator Newlands spoke of the pride
which every Nevadan should feel in
the fact that its legislation, both con-
stltutional and statutory had been
under Democratic administration of
most advanced order, placing Nevada
easily among the foremost states n
progressive legislation and admins
tration. Realizing, he said, that pros
perity must be based upon justice and
sound economics, the Democratic par
ty had for years, in this state, ad-
vanced legislation tending to the a.
sertion of popular rights and the Sc
curing of economic justice upon
which true prosperity must be neces-
sarily based. The party as a result of
