following letter from President Wilson
was read by Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury Jouett Shouse to the
Kansas Democratic Convention:
Il cannot help thinking that the
party is to be congratulated on the
fact that it has come to a year of ex-
ceptional opportunity and duty. The
issue which it is our duty to raise
with the voters Of the country in
wolves nothing less than the honor Of
the United States and the redemption
of its most solemn obligations; its
obligations to its associates in the
great war and to mankind, to whom it
gave the most explicit pledge that it
went to war not merely to win a vic
tory in arms but also to follow up
that victory with the establishment of
such a concert of nations as would
guarantee the permanence of a peace
based on justice"
