 President Wilson opened his ad- dress by saving: "The much needed reforms may be interrupted for a generation to come should the Dem ocratic party suffer defeat in the 1 November elections. But am not afraid of this defeat. we are bound to succeed. the people are with us.
 President Wilson said, in part: t"This IS caHed Wilson day only because for six years, first as Gov ernor of New Jersey then as Pres ident of the United States, l have beon pcrmitted to lead the first great state and then the great na- tional party along the ways of pro gress, enlarged regenerated lite which our people had so long sought and so long been held back from, by the organized power oi selfish interests.
 And because of this great hon. or it has fallen to me as being cho- sen once more the spokesman of the representative men who mean to hold the country to these ways of Ibeace. humanity and progress.
 "It is these forces that shall speak of and not of myself, who am merely their servant.
 "What are these forces?
 "TNey are forces Of humane right eous and patriotic purpose which have sprung up in our day in the minds of those who perceive the shortcomings of the law as it has hardened in America, and who look forward with purpose and convic- tion to the new age in which this government shall be indeed ser want of liberty and not privilege.
 "These are the men who perceive that the American law has not kept pace with American sentiment; that our law has been holding us rigid and immoyable, until a class has begun. in free America, to be ar rayod against class. until what was legal has begun to play a more important part in our thoughts and determinations as to what is hu- man and right; until America has begun to lag instead of being in the lead in reconciling what it is, with what ought to be.
 "A new age has dawned upon us while those who were attempting to lead us were stumbling along with their heads over their shoulders in- tent upon preserving conditions of day that is gone America had changed and the whole world had changed"
 Concluding President Wilson said. "We must recruit votes oi the forward looking men and by votes of the women so that we may have fresh insight in all matters oi social reform. We must move moro certainly and more promptly in tho solution of many new problems o society with which the law mus , henceforth deal We must unit'
