To this end. ne has sent personal
letters TO all committeeman represent

vigorous cooperate IN. first of all at

with the new primary law. where such
changes may have become necessary.
The policy OF the democratic state
central committee, and carried out by
Sec'y Sallee, will be 10 get the facts
concerning the national and state adj
ministratons before all the people in
most striking and true form. These
records have never been surpassed.
As Sen. Kern, Gov. RalstOn and Con-
gressm Ga Adair and others have said.
and as a majority of all the American
people have agreed, there was never
greater man in the white house than
Woodrow Wilson. He stands with the
greatest men the nation has produced.
His record has been made in most
trying times and never has he been
found lacking in the ability to cope
with any situation that might arise.
Praise Administration.
The administration OF Woodrow
Wilson has been one Of achievement.
1t has been one OF great achievements
for the people. More progressive leg

parties. has been enacted than in any
generation preceding He has placed

solution that seemed satisfactory and
safe And with IL all ne has had to
struggle with the greatest internation-
al complications that the nation has
ever had to meet All these have been

The task was made less burdensome
for the fact that he has had with him
n congress and senate willing to coop
crate to the fullest extent. Indiana
has furnished a splendid delegation
which to a man stood with Woodrow
Wilson. Where other presidents have
taken a hand at reforming ii is now
freely admitted that their reforma-
ton Of big business amounted to
crusade They had encouraged big
business" I'm illegal acts until the de-
mand OF the people for protection had
caused a stampede and a panic in the
minds OF their representatives in the
other direction. The crusades we're
injuring not only the big business
but the effect was TO injure and dis
turb all business.
This has not been the Wilson policy.
Any "big business that is within the
law has nothing to fear The Wilson
policy ia simply to give business, big
and little. an equal show, and to see
that none OF these impose upon the
ultimate consumer.
In the state, the administration of
Gov. Ralston has excelled anything
the state Of Indiana has known since
she became a state 100 years ago
There has been passed more progress
sive legislation than was ever intro
duced In any dozen legislatures. Gov
Ralston and the administrative officers
and legislators have worked earnestly
and honestly for accomplishm ent of
those things most beneficial to the
people. The educational and benevO-
lent institutions have been placed
upon a better basis than ever before
republicans in the 1914 campaign
sought to criticize, Chairman Korbly
called upon any republican to name
q single thing I'm this regard that his
party would dare attempt TO undo
They have not yet specified and never
viii dare try it.
Pay on Huge Debt.
One OF the most striking accom-
plishments IS that with a general fund
levy OF seven cents the democrats
under Gov. Ralston have paid of
iebt OF more than a million dollars
which was inherited from the repubE-
cans. and that today there is not
single penny due and unpaid by the
state OF Indiana.
These and many other good things
have left the republicans without a
single campaign issue. Ncept the de-
sire OF the old line stand-patters 10 get
heir noses IN the trough. And while
he republicans were accommodating the
debt OF more than a million dollars it
must be remembered that the general
fund levy was i cents. including the
shree cents taken from the sinking
