In his afternoon speech here. rrcsi-
dent Wilson said in part:
1T is exceedingly i:nportan, that this
country should discuss its affairs with
as little partisanship OF feeling as
possible. because i;S affairs We're never

There was never tiinc when tho de-
termination Of our domestic questions
bore more direct relation 70 other
countries. There never was 4 time
when the discussion OF our own af-
. fairs needed to be more honestly. more
thoroughly. more calmly conducted

impulse enough. there is covctousness
of power enough. America has. 50 tn
say. given promise to the world thar
she will look at things without the
passion that has determined the af-
fairs OF other nations"

OF that new party, aside from the items
that you would expect in all programs.

900 men Joined its ranks at the polls.

but all Of them who felt that impulse
