INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 9--Pres.
ident Wilson wants the unemployed
man connected with the untitled job.
lie so told 5000 enthusiastic listeners
in Jackson day celebration here Fri
day afternoon. He advocated estab-
lishment OF vast national employ
ment bureau, using the post Offices
as an adjunct and advertising me-
dium
He paid bitter respects to the Re-
publicans. He fayed them merciless-
ly for their opposition to the govern
ment ship purchase bill, and charged
that they we're obstructing plan
whereby merchants and farmers could
be relieved from the extortionate
charges OF ocean freighters.
Still another proposition that sway
ed the emotional crowd Of fag-wav.
ing, cheering Indianans was his de-
claration that more speed is needed
in Americas judicial machinery. This
machinery he branded as behind the
times as compared with Europe's 8
courts.
or business, he again contended
that its present status IL merely due
TO state of mind. This. state OF
mind, he urged, must give way 10 a
belief in the Democratic party and
the future OF American industry.
Dwelling on Mexico, he flatly de-
clared there will be no interference
in that republic while he remains at
the helm in this country. =,
America must keep It's mind upon
itself, he said. II must progress in
the spirit Of humanity, and in time
the world will come to it, with the
declaration that we were right
On strictly party lines, he made a
second attack upon the Republican
party, and suggested they were the
forces behind opposition to the water
power bill--a measure to open the ma.

He held, too, that the nation must
heed the independent voter. No par

control without this voter, whom he
called "our boss"

declaration that some day the Amer

correct
Il advise you to keep your moral
powder dry" said the president In
opening his remarks. If there are
Republicans present I hope they will
feel the compelling influences OF Jack
son day-for Jackson, you know, was
a fighting man. And you know the
only man worth considering is the
man who viii fight.
The trouble with the Republicans,
he said, rs that they haven't had a
new Idea FOR 30 years. They have
had leaders from time to time who
suggested new ideas, but have never
done anything. But when II became
necessary for something to be done
a Democrat had to be elected.
Il do not speak with disrespect OF
the Republican party, for I have re
spect for the past.
"The Republican party Is stin the
cover for those who are afraid. They
take their advice from old men: they
are afraid the young men have some
thing up their sleeves.
Il got tired of.staying in Washing
ton and saying secret things. I want
ed b say what think.
IT wanted TO say that politics nc
longer depends on the regulars ir
either party" 2
'This country is guided in its policy
by the Independent voters"
The president held that about one
Third Of the Republican party is pro
