"nat WILSON m
Washington founded the nation; Lin
coin held It together and made all men
free; Wilson has conserved the riches OF
the republic and made for the plan where
by a man Of energy and ability has q fair
opportunity to participate therein. what
ever his wealth may be to start with
By statesmanship unsurpassed In the
worlds history he has with dignity kept
this country out Of the most colossal ana
terrible war of the world Millions OF
lives have been and are being lost there
in, bringing on the heels thereof misery
indescribable In the families and homes
thus robbed forever OF their loved ana
strongest ones; and, as an added remind
er. Milling up mountains of Indebtedness
for those left behind to slave under for
centuries to come. Our beloved President
has avoided this world calamity without
a peace at any price policy. Tnat u
vbers his great statesmanship comes IN.
And to maintain safety nrst poncy
for our nation. q preparedness plan un-
equalled by any former administration "
been put in good working order.
By looking after the welfare OF the
man, OF moderate means. most notably
In the Reserve Banking law" the grip
of q very few money kings has been loos-
ened, false money-scare panics made Inn
possible, and the man with property and
an honest record assured that he can
always get money-another word Tor
credft-at a reasonable rate Of interest
This credit condition before the wilson
administration did not obtain. Men on
great wealth, It Is known. Temporarily
and frequently prohted by this IN former
times. But that which Is not the most
good for the greatest number In q short
sighted policy.
Our bankers, investment houses. rail-
roads, factories, mines, farms, wholesale
and retail stores are always prosperous
able to pay dividends and be happy
when the people OF moderate means. and
they represent all the population between
the very poor and the ultra wealthy, are
given an opportunity to do well. These
people Of moderate means necessarily In
dude our professions and the better class
Of skilled labor.
II is also well and good for all con-
eerned, when the unskilled laboring class
of our country IL prosperous and particf-
patfng on q fair basis in the wealth an
nuaiiy produced In the United states.
All Glasses Benehtted.
In q word, the very wealthy, moder-
atsriy rich, weIl-to-do men OF small
means and the very poor are all In the
long run the better on for laws which
give merit and energy. wealth and power,
whoever the possessors, one with the

making enough money above living ex-
penses to buy automobiles, eat well and
wear good clothes. they put more money
In the pockets Of the railroads, the manu-
facturers and the other "higher-ups."

Monies.
Wilson, By his acts, proves that he Il

sighs-hour law for trainmen. followed up
by efforts to give railroads In every IN

Wilson has many friends in Wall
Street who viii vote for him. Honest
men Of so-called Wan Street are not
being annoyed with freakish proposed
laws, and investigations carried on as in
previous Republican administrations, at
psychological times. which made the work
appear very obvious a. more for q

anything else.
