Smashing away at campaign methods
employed by the Republicans in an eff
fort to regain power" and tearing at
issues raised by party leaders. President
Wilson here yesterday afternoon made
his final personal appeal for reelection
In order that the world may know
how America Is going to work out
her destiny" and that her purpose Is
justice and love OF mankind"
The tariff issue is dead. he said. it's
"pretensions torn away by patent
demonstrations OF fact"
And now" the President added. lin
dutries formerly highly protected are
attempting coercion OF their employees"
imagining that these men are not their
own masters and do not dare vote as
they think"
Laborer Awake Now.
THANK God" he declared. the
judges his friends by what they do and
not by what they say"
Opponents are "illing the air with
alarms" ne declared. sarcastically.
but the alarms are their own. not
ours" he added, az the crowd cheered
They used to control the credit OF
nothing but the betting" he said.
For labor the Republican party offers
masters the President said, while
we offer them comrades and leaders
shoulder to get their rights
The President assailed his opponents
for their failure TO expound the real
heart OF the social necessities and po-
litical exigencies of America" and gave
as the reason for their failure the adj

done, but done by the wrong people"
I'm their estimation.
The public questions are OF the widest
consequence and signilcance." the Presi-
dent declared, adding that Republicans
without number who are not allowing
themselves to be deceived" are joining
with the Democrats in the burning de-
sire to see America reconstructed along
the lines OF Justice and equity which
cut much deeper than any party lines"
Reiterating his former declaration that
the present election IS critical in that
some of the fundamental things OF the
world may be determined. the President
said there has been much talk about
the apparent desire OF some people TO
have our policy determined by Euro
pean reasons and not by American rea-
sons"
I'VE have seen" said he. that unless
we could reunite directly and surely
the forces OF the country we couldn't do
through the fundamentally OF America.
The President made an appeal for
party lines to be thrown aside In voting
ito make the new America in the new
world mean the same thing for man
lind that i meant when the republic
was set up"
Along this line the President rcitera ted
his confidence In the result OF the cleo
ton. this time as follows:
II feel rising In my pulses already the
Inspiration and impulse which IL TO
come not only to the United States. but
TO the whole world next Tuesday"
The President said m part:
Invisible government never existed
In more hateful form than II has en-
isted In past years. In this State Of New
Jersey.
thing that is being attempted in New
Jersey is only part of what is being at
tempted in the United States. and being
attempted in the United States with
more and more transparency of pur-
pose. Look how the campaign has
gone! First OF all, an attempt TO set
UP some kind Of handsome issue. Not
very interesting attempt. because tho
issue was one every week.
AS soon as you approached what was
said to be the issue. II seemed TO fade
and disappear, and there was nothing
for you to grasp or grapple. And after
finding that the search for an issue was
In vain, they came down once more to
the only thing they have in recent
years ever known what TO talk about,
and that was the protective tariff.
Tariff Pretenses Unveiled.
They know all the pretenses about
the protective tarif have been torn
away. not by the oratery of Democratic
speakers, but by the patent demonstra-
tons of vi. They know that the
workingmcn OF this country may have
been deceived for a little while, but
they cannot be deceived all the time.
They know Just as well as we know
that the industries in which the higher
protection was given paid the lowest
wages. and they know that the highest
wages were paid In the least protected
industries. That Is a matter of record.
"And now what do we witness? Hav-
ing despaired OF an issue they are filling
the country with alarms. They are
but they are attempting coercion OF
their laborers. They imagine that these
men are not their own masters and dare
not vote as they think, but at last, |
awake. lie at last judges his friends
by what they do and lot by what they
say. He knows that he has found
friends, because he has found who
will do the things that he has de-
manded should be done in Justice and
equity to him.
Only Control Betting.
Let them fill the air with alarms.
The alarms are their own, not ours.
They used to control the credit OF
the country, they now control nothing
but the betting.
THE difference between the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic Is this
The Republican party offers them
masters We offer them comrades and
leaders. The Republican party offers
to take care of them. we offer to 20
into the fight shoulder to shoulder
with them to get the rights which no
man has a right to give them. The
ranks are formed.
TT amazes me that men calling them
selves statesmen should discuss some OF
the things our opponents have been
dwelling upon when the whole atmos-
phere of the world was lurid with the
blaze OF threatened trouble, men spread
| ing finder in this country when sparks
without number were blowing over from
this terrible conflagration. men making
party sport of unsettled questions, not
| settled ones, or present courses OF action
not past courses OF action. seeking Ia
make party capital out OF things which
| II not settled wisely, might bring this
| country at any moment into this world
conflict which Is devastating Europe.
