The appeal Will pc Issued 10 all who believe III thOse lD eraI and democratic PrlnclpleS ciA@' Woodrow Wilson has so conspi1u o,slv championed and who WISH U Dernetuate the influence ot Amerlca great war leader. a,-

 rhe Durpose of the foundation IS 10 horor great American and to create . method whereby public service will he encouraged and consp1cuously recoonized in this and future gen erations. The conception ot the toun- dation is much like the NoDel system of awards. The award or aWaraS us from the income of the toundatlon VIII he made from time to time Dy q M

 sanctify an ex-presldent, put Wlln .l4e nurnose of stimulating and propogat, ing healthy industrial, social ana political ideals, and of bringing to the attention of the world by means ot a oenerous award the foundation Recognition of meritorious servants or mankind.
 If is believed by the national com mittee who are organizing this toun7 IT. dation that the American puDnc Wlli agree to the propriety of naming the foundation after Woodrow Wilson for he was the peerless leader ot the spiritual forces which, during the war and the making of peace enlisted the hopes of mankind; he furthered the cause of human freedom; he was lri- strumental in pointing out effective methods for the cooperation ot the liberal forces of mankind throughout the world; with all the force ot ms brilliant intellect and commanding personality he fought for his ideals nnti The spent his strength and tell like a soldier of the Argonne. In hls domestic policies he was likewise de- voted to industrial and social justice, having a warm heart for the man de spoiled by a monopolistic trust, tor the industrial leader who knew the quality of mercy and for the labor1ng class.
 It is believed that the fair-mlnded people of America are not unwilling to recognize in Woodrow Wilson both a man who carried the .prest1ge of American ideals to new glor1es Tn the chanceries of Europe and also man who was an active friend to those who appealed to him from trench. shop, and farm.
