WILSON TO HAMMER.
UPON -FOUR ISSUES.
Peace, Prosperity, Business
Preparedness, and 8.Hour
! Law Bulwark Of Campaign.
By ROBERT J. BENDER.

ASBURY PARK. N. j.. Sept. 2e.-Four
Issues. peace, prosperity. business pre-
paredness, and the eight-hour law--will
be enunciated by President Wilson
when he goes into the country to wind
up his campaign for reelection, Il was
learned today. These issues he regards
as the ones upon which the voters will
vindicate or denounce his Administra-
ton.
The President Is feeling Mt, appears n
trifle heavier. and says he's In great
trim for the coming trips West. He Is
enthusiastic about going-as IL Mrs.
Wilson, who will accompany him every
where. II will be Mrs. Wilson's first
taste OF n real campaign, and she Ia
entering into II with zest.
The man on the street. the President
believes, Is thankful first OF all that
his country Is at peace. For that rea-
peal to the voters not to accept what
the President terms radical, changes
OF poucy, which may alter the whole
aspect OF the nations life" and "en-
danger the present terms Of. peace
and good Will with the world"
Secondly. he viii point to the great
prosperity of the country and define
how the Administration has placed a
legislative bulwark under this TO pIe-
clude the possibility of financial de-
ropean war.
He plans to offer a constructive
policy 10 meet the unprecedented econ
omic conditions which will arise when
petitive markets of trade. In this he
will appeal particularly to the young
men and those upon whom "the futuro
development of the country depends in
an unusual and peculiar degree" He
will urge the cultivation OF imagina-
ton. vigor, vision and enterprise" to
meet the new era.
Finally the President will challenges
his political CRITICS to meet squarely
the elght-hour day issue and state
what they would have done in 4 situa-
ton similar to that confronting him
recently. when a great railroad strike
was threatened.
Would you now. II In power. repeal
the Adamson law?' is question which
may be expected by Hughes IN the
near future.
