ut frequent Intervals by prolonged
outbursts Of applause. Every men

The audience rose and checred lus-
lily as Glass began to speak "As
am to speak on the predominating
issue OF the campaign. l suppose /
should look around for text, and l
do not think that l could choose any
better one than the speech that
Woodrow Wilson delivered at Mount
Vernon short time after we go,
into the war. At that time. Mr..
Wilson. Virginia's unconquerable son,
with all the clarity of his keen vision
and from the very depths OF his
mighty heart, recited for the bcne-
fit OF all the world the reasons why
America entered the war. 1t was
on that occasion that he told the
world the terms upon which we had
entered the conflict and the condi-
lions upon which were willing TO
terminate 1t. 1t was then that ne
delivered that message compris-
Ing the fourteen points, and the prl-
mary one OF those fourteen points
was the last and the only ona 1
shall choose for my text.
"Keep Faith With worId.S
Tor that Mr.. Wilson informed the
world that the primary reason Of
our entering the war was tho hope
that the nations OF tho world would
get together in an association OF ma
tions which would furnish mutual
guarantees and protection. of the In
dependence and territorial integrity of
all alike. That, primarily, was the
thing for which the war was fought
by America. That declaration by
Woodrow Wilson was the basis OF
the armIstice with the central pow
ers and was accepted by them and
by our allies in good faith and can
not be violated today unless we are
to break faith with the world"
