Representative rockingham of
Massachusetts (republican):
Woodrow Wilson contributed much
to the history of the world. He had con-
NictionS and was willing to fight for
them. Whether We agree with his
ideas or not we must admit that he
will go down in history as an out
standing President. To have been
twice elected chief executive of the
nation, to have been President during
the greatest war in history, to have
put through the selective service act
and other essential legislation are
outstanding and memorable features
in a brilliant career"
Representative Green of Massachu-

"The death of ex-President Wilson
marks the passing away of one of the

the sudden affliction which closes his
distinguished career.
Representative Winslow of MasSachu-
setts (republican):
THE death of ex-President Wilson
has come. l am sure, as matter of re-
gret to the people of the country, who
would rather that he had lived in good
health and happiness for many years
after the end of his presidential ad-
ministration.
He was undoubtedly a man of great
intellectually and tenacity of purpose.
and never spared himself in respect Of
work, which, in his case. as in the case
of others who have held the office of
President, was far too great for his
human endurance. His death, coming
so shortly after that of another Presi-
dent, is still further evidence of the
fact that any one holding that high
office relinquishes, by SO doing, a normal
hold on life's tenure, and his sacrifice
should be appreciated accordingly.
:. president Wilson contributed
much to the history of the country
and tho world, and his name will un-
doubtedly be connected with one OF
the most tremendous periods which
has marked the movement OF human
AFFAIR.""
