In the just administration of the law.
We must simplify and reform it as
other enlightened nations have done,
and make courts Of justice out Of our
courts law. We must seek and find
the means Of bringing capital and
labor to a clear understanding of their
common interests, which are no other
than the interests of the nation itself
as Il community. We must release
our great undeveloped natural re-
sources upon some sensible plan of
use and conservation.
Need Votes of Women.
ave must recruit the votes of for
ward-iooking men by the votes of
women so that we may have a fresh
insight in all matters Of social re-
form and move more certainly and
more promptly in the solution Of the
many new problems of society with
which the law must henceforth deal.
We must unite the Americas, North
and South, in new sympathy and CO.

through every channel that offers;
and ~" must put America in all it's
force, in all it's wealth, alike Of phys
lcal power and spiritual enthusiasm,
at the service Of the other nations of
the world when peace comes on the
other side of the seas, to make that
peace permanent by establishing it on
the everlasting foundations of right,
cooperation, equality and justice.
These things we must do and all else
that may serve mankind.
"And our motto must be Co-oPERA-
TON, the union; not the hostile rival

nation and within the family Of ma.

never again be served by aggression;
the interest Of no nation or group of
nations can ever again be served by
aggression. The contests of jealousy
are as bitter and as dangerous as the
contests of arms.

"The world must henceforth seek
the means of accommodation, not the
means of arresting quarrels merely.
The nation we love and serve must be

that rise to the new ideals with spirit
and well directed force.

my fellow citizens, to

will not pause in the midst of our
task. We know that we stand at one

history of the world, when all hopes

Laws Must Fit New Life Mr..
Wilson Tells the American
People.
HIS RECORD OF DEEDS DONE.
U. s. Rights Upheld With Honor,
Farmers Aided, Business and Labor
Benefited, Children Protected
-Women's Votes Needed.

Shadow Lawn, N. j., Oct. 28.-To
the American people Woodrow Wilson
today gave an accounting of his adj
ministration as their President. He
balanced his books" so that the rec
ord stands clear. Promises fulfilled,
great deeds done! That, in short,
tells the story. And yet the story
is not finished. Other chapters in the
great Book of Human Progress re-
main to be written. 1t rests with
you, American Voters, to say whether
the man who began the book shall
finish it.
Here, in the Presidents own
words, is plain statement OF what
he, as leader not only Of the Demo-
cratic party, but Of the nation, has
accomplished in your behalf and Of
what he plans for your future-a
statement made not alone to the thou
sands who journeyed here, but to- you
and the hundreds of thousands
throughout the country who celebrat-
ed "Wilson Day."
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
"My Fellow-citizens:
"This is called Wilson Day only
because for six years, first as Cover
nor of New Jersey and then as Presi-
dent of the United States, have been
permitted to lead first great state
and then a great national party along
the ways of progress and Of enlarged
and regenerated life which our people
had so long sought and so long been
held back from by the organized
power of selfish interest, and because
the great honor has fallen to me Of
being chosen once more spokesman
and representative of the men who
mean to hold the country to these
ways Of peace, humanity and progress
It is Of these forces that I shall speak
and not Of myself, who am merely
their servant.
"What are these forces? Whence
do they spring? What have they ac-
complished, and what Is their pro-
gramme and purpose for the future?
It is plain what they are. They are
the forces Of humane, righteous, and
patriotic purpose which have sprung
up in our day in the minds of those
who perceive the shortcomings Of the
law as it has hardened in America
and who look forward with purpose
and conviction to new age In which
government shall be indeed the
servant of liberty and not OF privi-
lege.
"These are men who perceive that
American law has not kept pace
with American sentiment; that our
law has been holding us rigid and
immovable until class has begun. in
free America, to be arrayed against
class until what was legal has begun
to play more important part in our
thoughts and determinations than
