only those most slightly wounded

CANTON. Ohio, Dot. 20.-With
echoes of the greatest demonstra-
tions ever rendered him still ring
ing in his ears, President Wilson is
returning home today. He himself
and all of his Heutenants are happy
as a result of the Chicago visit.
1.-THE greatest yet" Secretary Tum-
ulty said with unrestrained en-.
thusiasm.
"An ovation from start to finish.
The women in this part Of the coun-
try are thoroughly aroused to the
issue of the campaign and they want
the president returned to Office" was
the message sent out to the demo-
cratic headquarters east and west.
There is no doubling now that the
president has embarked upon a de-
termined effort to bring out as the
one big issue of the campaign new
nationalism, first forcibly set forth
in his Omaha address and later am
plified in his Indianapolis speeches.
Yesterday the idea stood out in a
further exposition of this theme. In
the Press club speech, he emphasized
the need of uniting the progressive
forces to accomplish The purposes OF
American business. In his second
address. he urged cooperation OF
capital and labor to serve the end
which he said must be served by
the United States showing the world
how to place the cause OF labor on
a par with that of the employer and
the rights of humanity above the
rights OF sovereignty" Finally in
his speech at the Stock Yards pavil-
lion last night, where he was greeted
by the greatest and most demonstra-
tive throng that has heard him at
any time since the campaign opened.
the president further enlarged upon
his theme and said that men who
come to this country are expected to
put new affection, a new allegi-
ance, above every other affection and
allegiance in triumphant illustra-
tion of the spirit of America in the
service Of mankind"
In this effort to unite the people
of the country for the purpose of
accomplishing the big task which, he
says, will face America when the
war is over, the president appears
to have thrown aside party lines In
his out and out appeal to all 'for-
ward looking progressives." He will
continue the same policy In speeches
delivered away from Shadow Lawn
during the balance Of the campaign,
limiting only at the dangers Of oust.

guided the nation along certain

whose course is. uncertain and un-
known"

night. Tomorrow he will celebrate
