Text of Presidents Speech.
President Wilson's speech here to-
day was in part as follows.
I'VE are Indeed at a critical lune-
/ ture In the affairs of the world and
| the affairs of the world touch "A n,vr-
! ga very nearly alias asos sat rsAtI
! apart Her people are made up OF
/ the peoples of the world. Her SYM
[ palhies are as broad as the extended
stocks of national governments There
Is nothing human that does not con-
ccrn her And in the midst Of this
situation, we are about to determine
whether We shall change the line OF
our national policy Every line of
that national policy has been ques-
toned but no diagrams have been
drawn of any other; every one Of the
lines handsomely projected in the last
three and half years has been ques-
toned and condemned
Fortunately, the lines of tI4s cam =,
paign have recently been becoming
very clear indeed. Tho choice is
very definite one which does not re-
quire any subtle analysis for It's de-
termination.
ron the one hand, there is party
which Is united, made up of congenial
elements. and which has determined
its direction by its performances and
not by it's promises. You know what
the democratic party has accom-
plished. You know that It neither
can turn back nor desires to turn
back.
Party Ready for Teamwork.
some very interesting things have
happened i'm the democratic party in
the last three years and half. When
/ went to washington, | went with
certain men in my mind who had
long been influential in the counsels
of congress, who / was told were re-
dictionaries, men, | mean, in the
democratic ranks. And | want to say
for these men that ne wheel-horse in
harness ever pulled harder than they
did in the direction of the party's
program for progress. SO that / can
testify that back Of me as n leader
Of the party there Is an organized,
enthusiastic and determined team that
is ready to do teamwork and obey
every signal.
"On the other hand. what have we?
Men of every sort and every variety
Of purpose. will not say united.
but associated for an avowed object.
More interesting than that and more
omnous than that, shot through with
cyery form of bitterness. every ugly
form of hate. every debased purpose
of revenge. and every covert desire
