WILSON WILL WIN
 BY WIDE MARGIN
That is Newest Prediction Of
 National Chairman

Washington, Sept. 25.-In a state ment given out here, Vance c. Me-
 Cormick, chairman of the democratic national committee, asserts that
 everything indicates that President
 Wilson will be reelected. In fact,
 he predicts the success of the demo-
 cratic ticket "by a wide margin. !"
 The presidents cause Is rapidly grow
 ing in strength he says, among inde-
 pendent, progressive, and republican
 voters, and throughout the country
 leaders in all walks of life are coming
 out for him.
 1T think I need merely state," says
 Chairman Mccormick, that the na-
 tional committee, to an extent cer-
 tainly not exceeded at any time in
 the past, is in closer and better touch
 with the representatives of the demo-
 cratic organization in the so-called
 'debatable states We hear from
 them all and frequently; and we
 find that democrats are proud of
 Woodrow Wilson, and of the record
 he has made, and are determined,
 every man of them, from those in the least responsible places, to spare no effort to bring out by far the larg- est democratic vote ever boiled in the history of the United States We find it a matter both of party and of national patriotism with democrats to see to it that a president who has made such a record as that made by President Wilson shall not be repu- diated at the polls.
 '"The strength of the presidents cause among the independent, pro- gressive, and republican voters has been shown in the many announce ments of accessions of leaders. and voting bodies from these sources which have been made from time to time by the national committed It Is shown, too, in the rapidly multi plying number of Wilson and Mar shall clubs which are not organized along party lines and in the enroll ment of which in every state are to be found the names of thousands of men and women who have not here tofore, and do not now class them selves as democrats It is exempli- lied also in the scope and magnitude of the work of the Woodrow Wilson Independent League, which, under the presidency of William Kent of California, the only independent member of congress, has been an ac- tive factor in the politics of many states.
 As for individuals, could a more impressive list of names be gathered together than those of Thomas A. Edlson, Luther Burbank, David Lu- Din, Ida M. Tarbe1l, Francis J. Heney, Amos Pinchot, pr. Charles w. Elfot, Theodore H. Price Henry Bruere, Mrs. Antoinetta Funk. Harry fn11 president James A. GsrfeldD, Ray Stannard Baker, Augustus Thomas. Professor Lewis J. Johnson of liar yard, Bainbridge Colby, etc. These are the names of men and women and there are tens of thousands more 5uch-who have no axo to grind. no personal end to serve, no motive other han that of expressing and carrying out in so far as lies within their power the nations ideals in this falls period of reckoning and settlement
 'I find still another and mighty good reason why I think Wilson is 70 win. The success of the plan of ! raising campaign fund in small sec ions from the people at large rather han through the channels of special 1 interests has passed all expectations. By the tens of thousands people of small or very modest means are pay- ng their little to help the reelection of 8 peoples president Could there oe better index of the trend of the [ popular judgment?
 "I can best sum it up by saving that President Wilson will be re- l elected by a wide margin because 1 when it comes to an issue of crucial action right and Justice ever prevail 1 n the United States i
