dsst Wilson received today af Shadow
Lawn, the summer White House, the
formal notification Of his denomination
By the Democratic party from the noti-
dcation committee headed by Senator
Ollie James- itit@ =
In response Mr., Wilson spoke In
part AZ follows: ..s as
Senator James, Gentlemen Of the
Notification Committee, Fellow Citi-
Sssns;- I cannot accept the Leadership
and responsibility which the National
Democratic convention has again. in
such generous fashion, asked me to
accept without first expressing my
profound gratitude to the party for
the trust 1t reposes In me after four
years Of fiery trial in the midst Of af-
fairs Of unprecedented dihiculty. and
the keen sense of added responsibility
with which this honor fllls Il had al
most said burdens) me as think Of
the great issues Of national life and
policy involved in the present and Inn
mediate future conduct of our govern
ment. I shall seek, as have always
sought, to justify the extraordinary
confidence thus reposed in me by striv-
ing to purge my heart and purpose Of
every personal and Of every mislead-
ing party motive and devoting every
energy I have to the service Of the ma
ton as a whole, praying that I may
continue to have the counsel and sup
port of all forward-looking men at ev-
cry turn Of the difficult business.
For do not doubt that the people

Democratic party to continue In con-
troll Of the government. They are not
In the habit Of rejecting those who
have actually served them for those
who are making doubtful and conjec-
tural promises Of service. Least Of
all are they likely to substitute those
who promised to render them particu-
lar services and proved false to that
promise for those who have actually
rendered those very services.
Republican Failures" Cited.
The Republican party was put out
Of power because Of failure, practical
failure and moral failure; because 1t
had served special interests and not
the country at large; because, under
the leadership Of its preferred and es
tablished guides, Of those who still
make its choices, 1t had lost touch
with the thoughts and the needs Of the
nation and was living In past age
and under a fixed illusion, the illusion
Of greatness. 1t had framed tariff
laws based upon a fear of foreign
trade, a fundamental doubt as to
American skill, enterprise, and capa.
city. and a very tender regard for the
profitable privileges of those who had
gained control Of domestic markets
and domestic credits; and yet had en-
acted antitrust laws which hampered
the very things they meant to foster
which were stiff and inelastic, and In
part unintelligible. 1t had permitted
the country throughout the long period
Of its control to stagger from one
financial crisis to another under the
operation of a national banking Law
Of its own framing which made strin
gency and panic certain and the con
troll Of the larger business operations
Of the country by the bankers Of q
few reserve centers inevitable; hat
made as II 1t meant to reform the Law
but had faint-heartedly failed in tht
attempt, because 1t could not bring 1t
self to do the one thing necessary Il
make the reform genuine and effec
tual, namely, break up the control o.
small groups of bankers. 1t had beer

that the farmers, upon whom the cOun

last analysis for its prosperity, were

commercial credit, without the protec

transactions. and without systematic
knowledge of the markets themselves
