GOTHAM CROWDS
THRONG TO HEAR
PRESIDENT WILSON
ANOTHER SORT OF DIVISION
Continued from Page One,

1912 represented a fight against privi-
lege and the same was true now.
ANOTHER SORT OF DIVISION
II want you to realize he continued,
that another sort of division has APP
peared in this country. 1t is between
those who employ labor and those who
perform labor. Nothing could be more
dangerous. We must see that justice is
done to working people. This is not a
matter of mere sentiment but a matter of
human right
There is also another division. Some
men have grown so INSCRIPTIONS that
they have sought to dscredit their own
government in order to gain a partisan
advantage. Some men have sought to
determine the affairs of this nation in
accordance with interests outside this ma
tion What are we going to do with
them?'
ELECT YOU man cried.
Il will tell you what we have done"
he went on. I'VE have built up a party
of the people
is NOT WORRIED
The President predicted victory, saying
he was not worried over the outcome.
II do not want to be elected unless
am one of you and you believe In me, :
he added amid applause.
He spoke of the eight-hour day, saying
it shows there are some men in this
country who look at life from the WORK
ing mems point of view. Il have done
a mere act of justice" he said
81 want to say" declared the Presi-
dent that believe the forces of this
nation are gathered for demonstration
of power on the part of public opinion on
November such as has never been dis
played in the world before. This grea t
tide of opinion is rising, not for the pur-
pose of destroying anything, but for
floating all those happy auguries in
which men may travel who know they
are bound for the finest goal of human
ambition. This tide of humanity swell
ing is sweet with the purpose of peace,
it is wholesome with the judgments of
justice and when it has come to the flood,
men will see that it is great body meant
to drive all the industries of the world
by the pulse or heart beat of men who
love the world and believe in their fell
low men.
MUST STAND TOGETHER
when American has found herself,
then she will be able to play the part
which it was destined she should play.
Let all men who believe the same thing
keep together, let no kind of intimida-
ton, let no kind of vague and fruitless
promise divert us for moment.
Let us first see we are united and
irresistible nation, and then Jet us put
all force at the service of humanity in
order that men may say that they know
what human rights are and that they
live and understand nothing but what
| is humanely right. That is the simple
| message that | have come to deliver to
| you.
| I'VE have set up government in re-
Spouse to the opinion of the people. We
| have marshalled the men who think to-
gether, the men who feel together, the
| men who purpose together, in such hosts
| that l predict they will prove invincible
l am not fearful lest any of these lines
| of cleavage should run so deep as to
| touch the heart of this people, 1 know
what this rising tide means. 1t does not
| mean confidence in any particular man.
| H. means confidence in the destinies OF
| America and the confidence of the Amer
lean people that they again govern then
own affairs
| so that when we look upon our pol
| tiles at the present time we should con-
| centrate all our purpose upon keeping
| the men together who believe that every
| body is entitled to an equal chance. wlic
| believe that liberty is reality and moi
a name, who believe that justice must
be achieved and can only be achieved
by holding together shoulder to shoulder
one body of conquering men,
