BY ROBERT J. BENDER

Shadow Lawn, N. j.. Oct. 14.-The
American people have no disposition to
exchange "a handsome certainty for
an unhandsome uncertainty" President
Wilson declared this afternoon from
the porch of the autumn white house in
speech more sulphuric than any he
has thus far hurled at Republicanism
and it's leaders. His talk warned
against the sinister influences of cam
paign bosses and of the dangers of
changing the American foreign policy
now.
Addressing 5000 Pennsylvania au-
ditors in his regular Saturday after
noon political talk, the president ex-
pressed full confidence in his own re-
election, saying the verdict is already
found.
Until the people have spoken" he
said. 1T is hard to reach definite con-
clusions on questions touching Europe
and Mexico. But / myself, do not doubt
the result"

At another point he said: The
great body Of the American people are
keeping their heads. They have heard
talk before They have seen the per-
formance of some of the gentlemen
assess him. The verdict is already in,
and the judgment Of the court is about
to be uttered"
In an adroit attack on Colonel
Roosevelt the president said that the
most interesting element in the Re-
publican party is that which is the
most vocal"
The vocal element. he declared con-
stitutes voice and nothing more"
because every time 1t has uttered its

In the same connection Wilson said
of the Progressive party that mo sin
cere and earnest men were ever more
pitifully deceived and betrayed"
He assailed the Republicans in con-
gress for voting to warn Americans
off armed ships, saying IL the Republi-
can leaders believe in the rights of
