its climax when he handled pass

vened before the country went into
the war and this time Mr.. Wilson's

Evans Hughes, who left the supreme
court bench TO become q candidate.
The issues of that campaign were
very much muddled. The Demo-

assured Congress th;.t in the day of

lie did. As a matter of fact he told
CONGRESS very little of what he was
uoing, or anybody else for that mat
ter, until it was done. That was not
Mr.. Wilson's way. The result was
that he committed the United states
to the League of Nations and was
repudiated.

Woodrow Wilson lived his last

In some OF the human beings who

Certainly, he ranks as one of the
