PRESIDENT WILSON

The Democratic party goes before
the American people with candidate
whose wisdom and ability in a period
of unparalleled storm and stress en-
title him to support in the name of a
patriotism which dwarfs all narrow
partisanship. His record of achieve
ment has won the applause of his
friends, the admiration of his polite
al foes, and the gratitude of the ma
tion at large.
He has given the country a cur
rency system which on the eve of uni
versal upheaval enabled finance and
industry to stand unshaken. What the
conditions would have been under
Republican rule may easily be imag-
ined by recalling the disaster of 1907.
He has proved himself better pilot
in a storm than the Republicans in
an era of profound tranquility.
Under his guidance a Democratic
congress has written upon the statute
books a tariff law which has brought
prosperity to every class of the Ameri-
can people. The familiar shibboleths
of the Old Guard, the prophecies of
impending calamity have become the
butt of mockery and derision in the
light of cold facts. The noisy fore.
casts of evil are drowned in the
song of the harvest and the hum of
the loom.
He has passed unscathed through a
crisis in international affairs that
would have scared the soul and para
lyzed the mind of weaker character.
Charged with the welfare of hun
dred million people, whose destiny was
exposed to all the cross-currents which
blew from the earth's four corners,
he has maintained peace while giving
the world new and inspiring vision
of the moral grandeur of the nation,
Jealous of its honor, but devoted to the
interests OF mankind.
In the highest sense he is the EN-.
bodiment of splendid Amercanism.
hO ptSl lihuitiOhS VI luc Itpubllc
are wrought into the very fiber of his
being. He loves peace well enough
TO fight for 1t, If need be. He has
made It doubly clear to all the nations
OF the New and Old World that the
United States covets nothing which
Is not legitimately it's own. In trying
ordeals he abs shown that the Ameri
can people ask nothing and concede
nothing, except to work out their own
destiny under the free institutions
which are their peculiar heritage,
But with it all, the candidate OF
the Democratic party is no visionary
cropping in cloudland. He is a-stir IN
a world of realities. He has taker
measures which insure the safety ol
mis- country If, out of this welter o
war, this riot of mad passions, shoult
come menace to the liberty, peac,
and prosperity we enjoy, the forces
he has marshalled with an unvaunt
ing but determined efficiency will b,
ready at hand, waiting only to b,
quickened into action by the word o
command
Strong, alert, tried and approved b,
experience, he has won the confidence
OF the people, and this will be thel
verdict at the polls.

John l.. Mcneil Elected President
OF San Juan Pioneer's Association.
Durango people are pleased to
know that our townsnnan, John L.
Mcneil was elected president of the
San Juan Pioneers association at the
meeting just held in Del Norte, and
that our town was selected as the
meeting place in 1917. Since the
early '70's Mr.. Mcneil has had an
active part in the history of the Sec
tion and his election to the presiden-
cy of the organization of its pioneers
is most fitting. Reviewing his ac-
tivities, recent issue of the Ala

Mcneil, the daddy of the San Juan
and Southwestern Colorado Banking
was a welcome visitor in AIamosa
last night, coming down from Del
Norte on the Creed train. Years had
intervened since Mr.. Mcneil had
seen Del No1., he old gateway to
the San Juan. Years had tingad his
locks with iron grey since he estab-
lished the first banking institution in
the southwest, at Del Norte, The
Fank Of the San Juan. The Bank OF
the San Juan was the beginning and
from this Alamosa got its first bank
and year or two later Durango
took over the First National Bank
which ever since has been known as
the First National bank of Durango,
growing steadily and being recog-
nized for over 80 years as one of the
great financial institutions in the
W. st. With the cooperation of other
Durango financial interests Mr.. Nc
Neil few years ago established the
Durango Savings and Trust Bank.
For over 40 years, John L. Mcneil
mas felt every pulsation of the great

better the financial, commercial and
industrial history of the San Juan
better than he and he has shared
his responsibilities without mur-
