PRESIDENT To
STAND. ON
RECORD
Accepts denomination as the
Candidate Of Democracy,
and Makes Bid for the
Vote Of the Progressiyes

| Long Branch. N. j.. Sept. 2.-Pre.
sidentS Wilson spoke for his re-
election today. Before an immense
crowd. massed over the beautiful
grounds OF Shadow Lawn. the presi.
dent accepted his denomination at
the hands OF the democratic party
outlined the achievements OF his ad-
ministration, and scored the repub.
licans as a party of mastery in
activity, standing pat to resist
change"
The democratic party. the presi-
dent said, holds to very definite
ideals.
I'VE believe the energy and initia.
tive OF our people should be set free,
as we have set them free" and not
concentrated In the hands OF few
powerful guardians. as our oppon-
ents have again and again sought to
concentrate them"
"ThA day OF little Americanism
with Its narrow horizon, when meth
ods OF protection and industrial
nursing were the, chief studies OF our
provincial statesmen" are past and
done, Wilson said.
The people. he said, would not re-
ject those who have actually served
them" for those who are making
doubtful and conjectural promises OF
service"
Outlines Party Record
Outlining the legislative record Of
his party, the president said the
democrats have virtually created
commercial credit for the farmer, had
given a veritable emancipation" to
the working man, had released the
children OF the country from hurt
ful labor" and, in addition to many
other things, had put through ma
tional defense legislation greater
than ever seriously proposed Upon
the responsibility OF an entire poll
tical party"
And" President Wilson concluded
In this discussion, "we have come
very near to carrying out the plat
form OF the progressive party as well
as our own; for we also are pro-
gressives."
The president said his foreign poll
Icy was built upon two fundamental
principles-that property rights can
be vlndicated by claims for damages.
but that "the loss OF life is irrepar-
able"
II neither seek the favor nor fear
the displeasure of that small alien
element amongst us which puts 10y
alty to any foreign power before 10y
alty TO the United States" he said. |
The president advanced his Mexi-
,an policy as an issue upon which he /
would stand in the face of any critic
SIN. While admitting the possibility |
II mistakes "in, this perplexing busi-
less," he nayed' those who would
lave recognized the 'unspeakable
Iuerta."
On the platform from which the
president spoke were Mrs. Wilson,
senator Ollie James, Chairman Vance

ee and members OF the presidents

night. 1t was called early for the
purpose apparently of working out
signals and strategy to be tested in a
practice game this afternoon. The
Brooklyn team made no effort to
hasten its movement on the scene of
the series curtain raising and did not
plan to arrive here until late in the
day. Through its series here with the
Boston Nationals the team had gained
q good working knowledge of condi-
uons at the Braves Field. which Man
ager Robinson thought sufficient
preparation for the test.
Fine Weather Promised
The weather man contributed his
part to the arrangements with as
surances of fine weather tomorrow
While IL was warm to-day there was
= promise of Slightly lower tempera-
lures for the game and with no early
Indications of rain.
The attendance at the first game
viii be the largest in the history of
baseball, according to President J. j.
Lannin. of the Boston Americans
After working through the night again
to facilitate distribution of reserved
seat tickets. Lannin said the interest
IN the series this year as indicated in
many ways was greater by far than
last year when record crowd of A.
500 saw the first game played In this
city. So.
First Come, First Served
The height OF this interest was
shown by early morning crowds at
Fenway Park. small In number. but
eager to obtain preference in the pur-
chase of grandstand seats. The new
system by which successful applicants
were forced TO fall in with a policy of
first come, first served at the ticket
lines, instead of having certain tickets
held to their order, caused some con-
fusion yesterday and was responsible
Tor the early lines to-day. Prospective
spectators were under surveillance of
police officers and plainclothes men
who had orders to arrest any persons
trading in tickets.
The time for exercising purchase
privileges on reservations expires at 6
o'clock tonight after which uncalled
for tickets will be put together and
prepared for a rush line sale to-mor-
row morning. This will be the only
opportunity for persons not successful
applicants by mail to obtain such seats
except by private transactions at in
creased prices.
AS far as could be learned to-day,
disposition of tickets for the games
here has as yet developed no incident
requiring the attention of the NATIONAL
Commission. Members of this board
met here late to-day at which plans
for the series as already made were to
be approved.
Whether the commission would
consider the action OF Manager Nc
Graw of the New York nationals in
quitting his team few days ago with
statements that his Payers did not
follow instructions in the game which
Brooklyn won. could not be learned.
The only member of the commission
here this afternoon was August Herr
mann, who would say nothing on this
subject.

Notice to Subscribers.
CURRENT COMMENT.

VIII Mexico be forced onto the
United States as was the Philippine
islands? We never wanted those ISL
ands and, so far as the Wilson adj
ministration is concerned, we do not
want Mexico, although there is a
strong sentiment that it might be a
good defensive measure" to control
it. But suppose Carranza changes
his mind now that American troops
are actually in that country and be-
gins fighting them, win we back out
again as we did from Vera Cruz?
There is about one chance in a million
that we will. Mexico may become
part of the United States or it may
receive protectorate such as Cuba
is enjoying. IL depends mainly on
how the Mexicans behave themselves,
II they refuse TO aid in the capture Of
Villa, but instead act like real enemies
then you will see a strong sentiment
arise in this country to take and keep
Mexico and establish peace all the
way to Panama
