join with us in united support Of
President Wilson that the era of pro-
gressive administration and legislation
ushered into our national affairs by
President Wilson may continue unin

great work.
"Graver questions have pressed upon
the national government during Pres

have confronted any administration
for more than half a century. The
presidents able and forceful leader

solution of many problems with dis
tinction for himself, credit to his
party and honor to the country.
New international issues vital to
the welfare of the United States and
of the entire world have crowded
upon our president and he has faced
them all with the clean, pure Ameri-
canism of thought and deed-with
tho same unflinching devotion to the
liberties and fundamental rights of
men--that characterized and inspired
the founders of this republic Amid
denunclation and false accusation

world.
