ST. Louis, Mo-. June Pointing
out the achievements of the admins
tration and lauding President Wilson,
Senator Ollie James, Of kentucky, on
taking the chair as permanent presid-
ing officer To-Day, delivered an address
which aroused the enthusiasm Of the
Democratic national convention to the
highest pitch
Mr., James concluded his address as
follows:
-Four years ago they sneeringly
called Woodrow Wilson the schcol
teacher; then his class was assembled
within the narrow walls Of Princeton
college They were the young men of
America Today he is the world teach
er his class is made up of kings kali
sers, czars, princes, and potentates.
The confines of the school room circle
the world His subject is the protec-
ton Of American life and American
rights under international law The
saving Of neutral life the freedom Of
the seas. and without orphaning sim
gle American child without widowing
single mother without firing.a SIN
gle gun, without the shedding Of a
single drop Of blood, he wrung from
The most militant spirit that ever
brooded above, d battlefield an ac-
acknowledgement .of American rights
and an agreement to American de-
mands He truly demonstrated that
principle Is mightier than force, that
diplomacy hath its victories no less
renowned than war Shall we by his
hcfcat tangle again the untangled in
ternational problems--sh shall we say to
the warning countries Open again
these settled international questions
his was not the voice Of his country?
In the bloodiest crucible of all history
he has kept the stainless banner of
the republic flying above l00000,000
of people in peace and in honor Dur
ing these years Of great trial, Of diff
culties, and complications crowding
upon each other like waves Of an an
Cry sea, with enemies powerful from
without and critics and traducers from
within. With abuse cruel as it was
cowardly, he emerges as majestic aud
powerful as mountain after storm
Noved BY all who believe in justice,
and feared BY those who temporize
with wrong He elevates himself to
that lofty but lonely eminence oceu-
pied By George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson, the
three worst abused but best beloved
Americans the republic ever grew.
Neither BuIlies Nor Fears.
"He neither bulies the weak nor
fears the strong. He deals with the
military lord with his millions Of sol
diers in the field demanding Justice
for the American people, protectionof OF
American lives and American rights
as he does with the weak followers OF
a revolutionary torn Mexico. For the
honor Of our flag, the preservation OF
our lives. the protection of our rights
he would challenge the world to con-
fict; for political personal prefer
ment or party advantage he would not
inflict the slightest wrong or impose
the smallest injury Mexico and Ger
many. England and Austria look alike
to him when America is involved. He
might overlook the wrong Of the weak
but never the insult OF the strong.
What Do They Mean?
THE opponents Of the Democratic
party declare that the foreign policy
of President Wilson has been evil and
vacillating What do they mean by
this? Is it that we should have gone
TO war when Belgium was invaded.
which we we're not bound to do by
either contract or principle? That
issue we are perfectly willing TO sub
init to the American people. Around
20 .ooo. 600 happy firesides the fathers
Of America will gather this night with
