Turn where you will. look where
YOU may, in economic legislation or
in social legislation. in domestic or
in foreign affairs, the more you look
and the more you study, the more you
will become convinced that the Ad-
ministration Of Woodrow Wilson has
been animated by the spirit, embued
with the purpose OF John Wesley 3
rule of life TO do all the good you
can, by all the means you can, in al
the places you can at all the times
you can, to all the people you can, as
long as ever you can
What our forefathers were trying
to find, my friends, is what the Will
son Administration has given to this
country. and in the giving il has writ
I ten the most Respondent page In
American history during the past fifty
years.
"This Administration has looked NJ
and not down. out and not in, forward
and not back and forgetting those
things which are behind and reachins
forth until those things which are be-
fore it has given a boost and lent a
hand to the things that ought-to-be
against the things that are.
This Administration has marched
breast-forward along the road OF
progress and never once turned back.
This Administration has recog-
nized that the great movements which
benefit mankind spring form the throb-
bling heart of the masses and not from
the school-harrOwed brains Of the for
tune favored few.
This Administration has realized
that laws are not sacred because old,
or dangerous because new.
"This Administration has attacked
the causes. not the symptoms Of our
national ills, with the thought that a
thorough cure. however unpleasant,
is better for the body polite than a
mere palliative which lowers the fever
without removing the canker.
This Administration has believed
that the way to our national salvation
lies along the path Of consideration
for social cost as we'll as economic
cost in every step that we take and
every move that we make.
This Administration has realized
that the way to promote national
efficiency is to foster individual eff
cheney by an equalization OF oppor-
tunity as far as legislation can equal
ize opportunity amid the complexities
OF civilization and the vagaries OF ma
ture
"This Administration has recognize
ed that the power which has turned
the face OF the world from monarchy
towards democracy is the moral
power OF democracy. and because OF
this moral power II Is the duty of a
Democratic form of government TO
view legislation from a moral as well
as from an economic viewpoint.
"This Administration has realized
that the mission OF democracy is the
widest possible diffusion of material
well being with a humanizing and
harmonizing OF the people OF ma
ton into a solidarity OF purpose and
mutually OF interest
This Administration has asserted
and maintained that the people who
tug at the ropes Of society's coach and
pull the coach along are made OF the
same clay, endowed with the same
rights and entitled TO the same con-
sideration as the people who ride on
top OF the coach.
Results OF Administration.
And what is the result OF this re-
slization of this assertion, OF this

children be coined into gold. or their
blood stain the commerce of our land;
