ST. LOUIS, June l5.-The achieve
ments of the Wilson administration
in enacting beneficial legislation and
IN keeping the country at peace with
! out sacrifice of the national honor
were pronounced epoch-making in
American history by Senator Ollie NJ
| James, of Kentucky, in his address to-
day as permanent chairman of the
Democrat national convention.
| During three years of its national
| CONTROL said Senator James, De
| mOcracy has enacted into law more
| progressive remedial legislation than
| the nation has ever written upon its
statute books since its birth. In for
mer national contests in the last two
| decades the party came as a prophet.
! Today we come with deeds, not words;
| with performance, not promise. The
Democratic party has kept its word
| with the American people. We have
made good.
The chairman reviewed at length
| the legislative record of the admins
/ tration and culogized the President
| for his direction Of foreign affairs.
! The Democrats, he said. had enacted
a tariff law under which monopolies
were curbed and uneXampIcd prosper

money control out of the hands of an
/ oligarchy and making panics no longer
j possible; and many reforms measures
| of lesser Importance.
