During the eight years Of the Will
son administration there was more
constructive legislation enacted than
during all the years that Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft occupied tho White
House. The early enactment OF the
Federal Reserve act prevented panics
resulting from manipulation OF the
money market by financial interests

treasure to tho uttermost, and nothing
was held dear but human lives and
human rights. The debt we gladly
incurred paid for a war waged to
a victorious end without scandal, with
out leaving a stain upon the admins
tration. The President knew no politi-
cal affiliations. but called into SCR
vice the most capable people in tho
country regardless OF any considera-
ton but efficiency. The Cleveland
stand against Imperialism was con-
fined by tho Wilson Democratic decla-
ration for tho rights OF any people TO
determine for themselves their own
national allegiance.
