JAMES PRAISES WILSON
DECLARES PRESIDENTS POLICY
SAVES US FORM WAR.
Chairman Of Democratic National

Pursued Wise Policy Past
Four Years.

st. Louis, Mo.-The achievements
of the Wilson administration. In en-
acting beneficial legislation, and in
keeping the country at peace. without
sacrifice of national honor. were pro.
nounced epoch-making in American
history by Senator Ollie M. James Of
Kentucky in his address as perma.
nuent chairman of the Democratic
national convention.
During three years of its national
control" said Senator James, "Democ-
racy has enacted into law more pro-
gressive remedial legislation than the
nation has ever had written upon its
statute books since its birth. In for
mer national contests, in the last two
decades, our party came as a prophet.
Today we come with deeds, not
words; with performance, not prom.
ise. 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 eulogized the President
for his direction of foreign affairs.
The Democrats, he said, had enacted
a tariff law under which monopolies
were curbed, and unexampled pros.
perity attained.
He declared President Wilson's
Mexican policy. and his course in pro-
tecting American rights against the
encroachments of European belliger-
ents had shown all the world that the
President neither bullies the weak
nor fears the strong"
In a concluding appeal for the tri
umph of patriotism above politics.
Senator James said the denomination
of such a President in partisan con.
vention ought not to be necessary and
that to discredit him might palsy the
hand that could write the peace treaty
of the world.
-Four years ago, they sneeringly
called Woodrow Wilson the school
teacher" he said. To-day he is the
world-teacher. His subject is the pro-
lection of American life and Ameri.
can rights under international law
And without orphaning a single
American child, without widowing a
single American mother, without fir
ing a single gun he wrung from the
most militant spirit that ever brood
ed above battlefield an acknowledg.
ment of American rights and an
agreement to American demands. He
has elevated himself to that lofty but
lowly eminence occupied by George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and

President Woodrow Wilson was
fifty-six years two months and four
days old when he took the oath of
office March 4, 1913. He was the eighth
native of Virginia to attain the presi-
dency.
About two years after Woodrow Will
sons birth his father accepted u call
to the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta. Ga. This was at
that time one of the most influential
congregations in the South. and the
elder Wilson remained as its pastor
throughout the Civil war. He was rec
ognized us one of the leading divines
of the South
Woodrow was only five years old
when the war broke out, and as Au-
gusta was not the scene of any actual
conflict. the boy knew little about what
was going on. He was also shielded
from the stormy passions and violent
prejudices of the war, and grew up
Into manhood unwarped by sectional
hate.
The elder Wilson did not force the
education of his son. He took him on
journeys about the city, visiting fac
tories and explaining to him how cloth
Is made. He also read to him by the
hour. But the boy himself did not
learn to read until long after the aver
age age when children are supposed to
read. This Is rather remarkable when
one thinks of the omnivOrous appetite
for books the president has always
had. But when he did learn to read
he more than made up for lost time.
He is, at the present time, one of the
most widely read men in this or any
other country.
The early years of the presidents
life were spent In the interesting
though inconspicuous pursuit Of knowl-
edge. He specialized in the law, In
American history, and In political
economy. With this foundation laid.
he hurst upon the political world in
1910 when he was elected governor of
New Jersey on the Democratic ticket.
In the second year of his governor
ship his boom for president was start
ed under the management of William
r. McCombs, one of his former stu
dents at Princeton. During the pre-
convention months no less than half a
dozen other entrants for presidential
honors made their appearance.
At the subsequent Democratic ma
tionnl convention at Baltimore, June
2s-July 2. Mr.. Wilson beat out all en-
tries with vote that Increased at
each roll call till his victory was re-
corded on the forty-sixth ballot. In
the election that followed he was an
easy victor over the Taft and Roose-
welt tickets, though his entire popular
vote did not reach that accorded Will
liam Jennings Bryan In 1908.
OF Seotch-Irish Descent.
President Wilson is the son of Jo-
seph K. and Jessie Woodrow Wilson,
disciples of the Scotch Presbyterian
faith. He was born In the manse of
small church in Staunton. Va, where
his father was curate.
From Virginia the Wilson's moved to
Georgia, when Woodrow was about
two years old.
From Georgia the family moved to
South Carolina. In the Old Palmetto
