tion was to be our siver-tongue(
congressman, everybody knew tha
a great treat was in store, not onl,
for the distinguished visitors bu
for homefolks, and while expecting
to hear good speech, the grea
crowd that assembled on Thursda,
night heard one of the finest effort!
ever made by Mr.. Aswell. Blu
with such a subject as Woodrow
Wilson, he could not help but bt
inspired. MIR. Aswell was at hi.
best and -vas applauded to the echo
throughout by the very apprecia
tive audience who paid tribute te
speaker and subject by the close
and sympathetic attention given.
For the benefit of those who
were unable to attend, the full
speech is published elsewhere ano
we feel sure it will be enjoyed as
much by our readers as it was by

letter concerning it will be of in.
terest:
Dear Sir:-In these unsteady days
when politicians with two-by- -four brains
are calling one another fancy names in
their frantic attempts to break into the
White House, your paper renders the
public distinct service by publishing
the speech of Congressman Aswell or
President Wilson.
That speech was a superlative per-
formance. Calumny and detraction
have had their innings against Wood
row Wilson and thank heaven for any
sincere defense of that overburdened
leader that we Americans put at the
hea. of our United States.
Mr.. Aswell's speech was no excursion
into the fields of cheap oratory or pyro-
technical rhetoric. 1t was critical and
specific. Nr. Asweil recounted actual
history. His statements will bear
lnalysis.' For slander loves a shining
by that token Woodrow
Wilson is brilliant with the brilliancy
# many suns. Yes, and many favor
te sons! 1t is 50 much easier to de-
troy than to create. Also, that process
s so soothing to the vanity of the little
ellows. If you cannot do big things
ourself, why tear down the structures
+ the other fellow? What a sweet.
;hristian philosophy that is!
Well, Mr.. Aswell's speech ought to
end to dislodge Lodge, bore Borah,
mock Knox, and make Reed shake like
he useless weed that he is named after!
Yours very truly,
w. M. HANNON.

We of Louisiana must not be der.

of shrinking away from serious
matters, let us face them, grappIe
with them resolutely, and do our
best to solve them, not in anger
or passion, but after earnes st
thought and mature dellberation,
rendering decisions based upon
the highest justice and patriotism.
AS your incoming governor,
my earnest appeal to every man
and woman in Louisiana is to take

have. Strip them of everything else but the right, to appeal to the people, but leave them that; suffer them to be leaders; absolutely prevent them from being bosses. We would other wise appear to be going in two op- posite directions. We are seeking in every way to extend the power of the people, but in the matter of the presidency we fear and distrust the people and seek to bind them hand and foot by right constitutional pro- vision. My own mind is not agile enough to go both ways"
 As indicating that the president is cpposed to using the power of his office to determine the nominee at San Francisco. those who say the president will remain neutral in the race point to this paragraph in his letter.
 "It is intolerable that any presi- dent should be permitted to de- termine who should succeed him himself or another-by patronage or coercion, or by any sort of control of the machinery by which dele oates to the nominating conventions are chosen. There ought never to he another. Presidential nominat- inp convention, and there need never he another. Several of the statezs have successfully solved that difficulty in the regard to the choice i of their governors, and federal law can solve it the same way with re- gard to the choice of presidents.

platforms into effect. It is not neces- sary to attend to the peoples busi- ness by constitutional amendment if you will only actually put the busi- ness into the peoples own hands,"
 Must Be Party Leader.
 That MT. Wilson, 27 days before he became president, foresaw that the presidents office was to become more powerful than in the past is see min another reference in which he says:
 q must speak with absolute free dom and candor in this matter or not syeak at all; and it seems to me that the present position of the presi- dency in our actual system, as we use. it, is quite abnormal and must eventually lead to something very different. He is expected by the na- ton to be the leader of his party as we'll as the chic fofficer of the gov ernment, and the country will take no excuses from him. He must play the part, and play it successfully, or lose the country's confidence.
 "He must be prime minister, as much concerned with the guidance of legislation as with the just and orderly execution of law, and he is the spokesman of the nation in l.everything, even the most mo- mentous and delicate dealings of the government with foreign nations. Why in such circumstances should he be responsible to no one for four 1 long years ?"

paign, and the friendship that grew nm then has continued. Men fla miliar with the situation believe MT. Wilson informed MT. Mccormick of his attitude on third term before Attorney General Palmer entered the race.
 Wilson's Letter to Palmer.
 MT. Palmer also is credited with being familiar with the presidents s views. In letter written on Feb. D, 1913. 27 days before MT. Wilson was inaugurated, then a member of the house. his views on the proposed constitutional amendment limiting the presidents tenure to a single term of six years. It was the pres ident's opinion which caused defeat of the amendment in the house. 1t was adopted by the senate. ,
 In February, 1916, when Mr. Will son was about to seek renominatlon despite, the single term plok in the 1912 platform, the letter was made public by MT. Palmer with the con, [ent of the white house. Several sentences in it show that the presl- dent approved of the American tra- dition against third term. "Put the present customary llmi- tation of two terms into the constr tuition. if you do not trust the people to take care of themselves. but make it two terms not one, because foul years is often too long, and give the president a chance to win the ful service bv proving himself fit fol it." said the president. :,
 "As things now stand, the people might more likely be cheated thar served by further limitations of th' | presidents eligibility" said th' president.
