America Must Prove That
Democracy Is More
Than a Dream
By Miss MARGARET WILSON, Daugh>
ter Of President Wilson

I EFT us make the vote mean some
l. thing-all of us, men and wo-
men together. 1t is disgrace
full the way the majority of voters
vote. 1 am told that when a man
gets a suit he gets what the tailor
tells him to wear. That is what
most voters do in the primaries.
They vote for the man who "they
say" is the man, ''they" being in
this case the political bosses,
WE KNOW THIS, BUT HAVE
DONE LITTLE SO FAR EXCEPT
TALK ABOUT IT.
1t surely is Americas opportunity
before all other nations to prove
that the ideal of democracy is more
than a dream; that it is principle
that works. Self government is
nothing more or less than a process
of education.
I REALIZE THAT DEMOCRA-
CY CANNOT BE OBTAINED
THROUGH A MACHINE, AND
WE MUST HAVE THE MEANS
OF EXPRESSING OURSELVES
AS CITIZENS IN A MORE VI
tai WAY.
