DEMOCRATIC CLUB LAUDS
 PRESIDENT AND POLICY:
 MCCORMICK SEES VICTORY

New York, June 2S-President Wilson was enthusiastically indorsed for reelection at a meeting of the National Democratic club last night. Resolutions offered by District Attor- ney Edward Swann elicited much ap plausel
 After expressing enthusiastic and unqualified approval of the nomina- ton Of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas F. MarshaI'' the resolutions declared the great test of a party's claim to continued power are fidelity to it's pledges, the soundness of it's policies and the character and ability of it's leader.''
 The Democratic record in washing ton. it was pointed out, shows that "capital has never felt greater sta- bility than. today and labor has never been blessed with such widespread prosperity"
 Party Pledges Redeemed.
 The reform of the currency system, tariff legislation, the abolishing of government by injunction, the relief of business from the menace of reck- less political attacks under the guise of thrust busting" and legislation to stimulate an American merchant ma rine are cited as among the party pledges which have been redeemed
 The resolutions further declare:
 Our party was formed by it's his- tory, without any platform pledge, to exert every human effort to keep aloof from the devastating European war and maintain a fair and strict neutral ivy. This it has done under condi- tions of unprecedented difficulty, win ming at the same time from both con tending sides recognition of American rights by patient but persistent resort to the channels of diplomacy.
 Finally the Democratic party has had to take up the burden of effi- ciently preparing the country for ma tiona1 defense, after years of Republi- can indifference and neglect, and to work out a. solution of the vexatious Mexican problem inherited from the Taft administration.
 Strong measures for national de- fense have been enacted and the long pending but inevitable Mexican crisis is being met with resolution, proper regard for American rights and com passion for the unfortunate condition of the bandit-ridden and distracted people of a neighboring country.
 Tammany Pledges Support.
 Through all these problems and difaculties, the higher character, the fine ideals and the commanding in- stelectua1 ability of President Wood row Wilson have stood forth in such manner as to win the earnest admira- ton of his countrynen and command the attention and respect of the world"
 John M. Nieh1e, president of the club, was in the chair. Short ad- dresses were made by Judge Swann State Regent c. B. Alexander and Thomas F. Smith, secretary of Tam many Hall. Judge Swann declared that future historians will say that Washington made the nation, Lincoln saved 1t, but Wilson made it greater because he insisted that it serve the cause not only of it's own people ir particular, but the cause of humanity in general.
