Seattle, from the biggest party
leaders to the commonest citizen, was
shocked at the tragic news OF Wood

day morning. Expressions OF sorrow
and OF tribute to the passing leader
were the topic OF multitudes OF con-
versations and telegraphic communl-
cations OF sorrow we're being wired
Mrs. Wilson at her st.shomc. where
the fallen leader lay dying.
Party and wartime differences
were laid aside and all Seattle sor.

Among eulogies and tributes from
prominent members Of his own party
here were the following:
REV. DIR. VI. A. MATTHEW'S.

He is one OF the greatest charac-
ters the country ever produced. He
has shown more practical Christian
work than perhaps any other living
public character. He was a benedic-

times. in the heat of contention.
contemporaries have appeared I'M
kind and unjust, there is no ques-
ton but that posterity win prop
erly appraise his great work and
assess his true value"
MAYOR EDWIN BROWN
Woodrow Wilson's name will go
down In history as the first man to
bring before the people OF the world
the interests and considerations OF
the working people-the producers.
He planned the worlds greatest
court, the league OF nations. as his
greatest single achievement, a his
torical document, whereby all ma
tons may sit around a table and
talk over peace and the worlds
other problems"
ii. NJ. WESTFAIL, chairman OF
the democratic county central COM
mittee: II am very sorry TO hear
the news. My greatest wish was
that he could have lived to see
even partial working out OF his
plans"
STEPHEN ]. CHADWICK-'Ex-
President Wilson will command a
high place in history. He had the
rare gift OF phrasing our national
ideals in clear anu enduring terms.
An intellectual. yet no mind ever
possessed a greater power os appeal
to the hearts of men. His ideals
were in some ways beyond his time
and the temper OF his PEOPLE. but
that he will rank as one of the
four or five really great presidents.
