LONG BRANCH, New Jersey, Sep
tcmber 3.-Without mentioning Charles
u. Hughes, the Republican candidate
by name Woodrow Wilson, President OF
the United States and Democratic stand.
ard bearer, launched his campaign for
re-election here last night, in onelof the
most powerful addresses of his career.
incidentally he threw down the gaunt.
let to the hyphenates" in the United
states, declaring that he neither feared
their displeasure nor looked for their
favor.
To the Republican party he paid his
respects in terms that left no doubt of
his stand. He called the G. 0. p. a
practical and a moral failure" and
asserting that it had attempted to hunt
with the hounds of big business whik
running with the hares of the general
public. He added that the old time lead
ers still name the candidates of the Re
publican party and dictate the party !
policies.
Big Crowd Hears Him
An enormous, crowd listened to the
first of the campaign addresses the
President has made, and cheered him
loudly as he made his points. His mp
pearance on the platform was the sig
nal for an ovation, which lasted for
several minutes.
Mr.. Wilson began his address in q
low, quiet voice, which grew louder a.
he proceeded into the thick of his argu
ment. His gestures, at first few anG
far between, gradually became NOR,
plentiful and more expressive, as b
warmed up to his theme.
He begun with a brief summary OF
the charges that had been made against
his administration, and then launched
into an attack upon the Republics
party, and the administrations which
have preceded his own at Washington
Party Of Inactivity
"a careful study of the. acts of Re
publican presidents and of Republican
congresses reveal to the student tn
aact that the chief aim of that part,
has been TO avoid it's Just responsible
ties. In this it has shown a mastery
cunhing. 1t has earned the name of th'
party OF mastery inactivity in tho
past, and it's present attitude towarc
the changes which time and conditions
have forced upon the country is typica
of its whole past history.
cit has exhibited a Jshrewd cunning
and a marked resOurcefulness in stand
ing pat to resist the changes which tint
and altered conditions have brought. l.
does not want change. 1t is amply sat
isfied with things as they are, ana pre-
fers to leave a wrong unrighted rather
risk the danger of changing it.
Old Leaders Powerful
cit cings to its old leaders, the ole
standpatters, who are proud Of theil
reactiOnarism and lack of progressive
ness. The same men who named thu
party candidates years ago are still
waning them and they are still shaping
the policies of the party"
Leaving that part of his talk Mr.
wilson took up the question of the alien
vote in the United States. Referring
to the statement that the so-called by
phenated vote is against him, Mr.. vii
son said that this is quite possible, and
added that it was not troubling hin
at all. He said:
81 am not seeking the favor Of thc
alien element in this country. l am not
afraid of the displeasure of that small
foreign element which puts its loyalty
to some foreign country above thu
loyalty and allegiance it owes to the
United States. Such an element car
neither aid me nor harm me in this
campaign.'
