Woodrow Wilson will be the central
figure in the most epochal era in
modern history" Josephus Daniels. for
mer Secretary Of the Navy, told the
Women's Democratic Club Of Philadel-
phia today in a speech commemorating
the 18th anniversary OF the birth of
the war President.
He quoted Gen. Jan Smuts' appraisal
OF Wilson Americans OF the future
will yet proudly and gratefully rank
him with Washington and Lincoln and
his fame will have a more universal
significance than theirs"
Democratic leadership.
"As We observe Wilson's birthday"
Daniels said, I'VE re ejoice that this cele-
bration comes on the eve Of return Of
Democratic leadership in America, Is
it not prophetic that we stand upon the
threshold Of as enduring a period Of
Democratic administration as that in
augurated by Jefferson and which would
have followed Wilson'S two terms but
for the repercussion of the World War?
From 1900 to 1850 the Federal Govern
ment was directed nearly all the time
by Democratic Presidents
Half Century Ahead.
Referring to President-elect Franklin
D. Roosevelt. the former Secretary Of
the Navy said Let us have faith that
another half century Of equality lies
ahead of us. Though grave problems
and difficult tasks await him. the ex-
periaace and example of Jefferson and
Jaotson, and particularly Wilson. will
bring confidence and victory
Speaking of criticisms Of Wilson,
Daniels said the one serious mistake
OF Woodrow Wilson, at least for the
time being. was in the character Of his
appeal for the ratification of the cove
nant of peace. 1t was based on an
estimate OF the virtues of the people
higher than they had attained"

Z pounds
High lights amcng the changes he
recommended were:

2. Election of the mayor and con-
