In Line With Trend of Thought Which Has Taken Hold of Peo ple—John Sharp Williams. New Jersey's Executive "Was Mad* to Order for the Next Democratlo Nomination," 8*ye %), S. Senator Hoke Smith. Men high In the councils o£ the Democratic party hare declared tfeat Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jer sey Is the logical nominee for the pres idency at the Baltimore oonrentlon next June. Following are aome of their estimates of the man: U. S. Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi—Governor Wilson Is la line with the trend of political thought which has taken hold of the people, and I believe be would be the strong est candidate the Democrat* could ,name. He would get thousands of votes from progressive' Republicans. Josephus Daniels, editor Raleigh News and Observer and Democvatio national committeeman from Northt Carolina—No man in this deoade has appealed to (he popular Imagination of so won the public confidence as Woodrow Wilson, and everywhere those who are looking for an end of government by bosses for their own benefit and the enrichment of what Is called "the Interests" or "big busi ness" look to Governor Wilson, Ideally fitted, as the man for the mg Job America wishes to have done. Wilson few shown that he knows how to do 'It by the unparalleled record of the New Jersey legislature under his lead ership. Richard Olney, secretary of state under President Cleveland—Woodrow .Wilson has proved his possession of the inestimable gift of leadership, and Is of the type of men in whom lies the best hope of the country's future. 1 may add that he has a capacity and propensity for telling the truth which Is not always to the advantage and sat isfaction of those who ask for it. Charles G. Heifner, chairman state Democratic committee of Washington —Woodrow Wilson stands for genuine representative government—the actual rale, of the people. Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, member of congress from Alabama— It Is very clear from wide observation that Wilson's fetren^th has so grown and to overshadows other candidates, that the part of all loyal Democrats, it seems to me, is to prepare the way •for his nomination as nearly as possi ble by acclamation. judge A. Van Wagenen, Sioux City, la.—Woodrow Wilson is more progres sive than Roosevelt ever was in his most excited moments, but he has the determination of an Andrew Jackson, and the faith In the common people of a Jefferson, and with these he has a clear perception of conditions as they exist and of. methods by which wrong can be effectively and peaceably righted. Hoke Smith, United States senator from Georgia—Wbodrow Wilson wa» made to order, for the next Demo cratlc. nomination. U. S. Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada—Woodrow Wilson has be come a national voice. Eugene A. Reed, Democratic com mitteeman from New Hampshire— Woodrow Wilson represents every thing that a good Democrat should represent. A. S. Burleson, member of congress from Texas and chairman of the Dem ocratlc caucus of the house of repre sentatives—It would amount almost to treachery for the Democratic nation al convention not to seize the oppor tunity of success that would come to it if It nominated Woodrow Wilson. Wllllard Saul8bary, national Demo-! cratlc committeeman from- Delaware— I am in a it re of on in a defeat and I want a candidate who can win. In Woodrow Wilson I believe m\ fcavtf such a candidate, and I predict fete semination on the second ballot 1 IS WISE, CLEAN AND BRAVE HE IS LOGICAL CANDIDATE Thomas P. Gore, U. S. senator from Oklahoma—Governor Wilson embodies the hopes and aspirations of the" peo ple. His fitness Is above challenge, his avalllbllity is superior to any other candidate. More minds unite in the support of Wilson than any other can-1 didate. U. S. Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain, Woodrow is tand- bt of elp rying Maine. S. Thomas of Wilson comes fh'eiSSmocracy Former Governor Colorado—Woodrow nearer being the type of Democrat who will appeal to the citlzo^ip of Colorado than any other possibility mentioned. Louis Wylle, business manager of the New York Times—The growing popularity and strength of Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey are due to the conviction in the public mind that he is sincere and devoted to the public welfare. A.. A. Quinn of New Jersey, first •ice president of the United Car penters of America—We have the most progressive governor in the coun try. He will be our next president. v-ft' That Is to Bring Control of the Government Back to the People. More Than Any Other Man, Governor ef New Jersey .Represente the Hopes and the Aeplratiene ef the Democratlo Party. By HON. J. H. HARROD. Cf Little Rock, Ark. It Is highly important that the oa» didate of a great party should have the qualifications of fitness and avail* ability. The friends of Woodrow Wil son are convinced that he comes up to this standard. In point of ability and knowledge of the principles of govern? ment, he has no superior In the repub llo. That is to say his qualifications are so well known, that they are conr ceded by all men. It Is not what men say, but what they do, that Inspires confidence The people trust Woodrow Wilson, not only for what he says, but for what he has done. No man o&n inspire confi dence If there is a doubt of hjs sin* cecity. If the people believe that a pian Is true, that he is faithful, that ho Ma h" This explains why the DemocratiO party now turns to Governor Wilson to bqar its standard. He has proven hie sincerity by his works. /Ls govern* QT of New Jersey, he has redeemed the pledges that lie mad# while a canff date for office. He has conducted the government of that state in the open. He has resolutely set bis face against secrecy in politics, ln legislation and In all other matters of government. It Is said that "big business" ie against Governor Wilson If "big busi ness" Is against him, it Is because "blc business", wants to run the govern ment We are for him because we want the people to run the govern ment. Governor Wilson's opponents say he cannot carry New York. The po litical history of the country shows that there Is nothing so absolutely and utterly unreliable as the predio tions of "the wise men who come out of the east," as to who can carry New York. In 1892 the New York delega tion and representatives of Tammany hall came to the convention and thun dered against Cleveland and said: "Ho cannot carry New York." In spite of their opposition, he was nominated and did carry New York and the coun try. In 1904, Belhioiit and Sheehaa came to 8t Louis and said: "Give us Parker, he can cany New York Par* ker was nominated and was the worst defeated msbi since the days of Gree ley. In the face of this record, we de cline to be alarmed, Intimidated or in fluenced by threats from Wall street. It is the part of wisdom to realize the situation end to govern ourselves ac cordingly. It stailds to reason that we cannot defeat a Republican reaction ary with/ a Democratic reactionary. The contest in our party Is between progressive Democracy and reaction ary Democracy. The great issue in American politics is to bring the control of the govern ment back to the people, to put an end to special privilege, and to open the way to equal opportunity. This is the great work that lies before the Demo cratic party. Woodrow Wilson typifies this issue. IBs very name will be a platform. More than any other man, he repre sents the hopes, the ideals and the aspirations of his great party. He lib therefore, the logical candidate "The main, object of what we are attempting, both In state and nation, is to establish a clone connection, a very sensitive connection, between the people and their governments, both in the states and in the nation. In or der that we may restore in such wisei as will satisfy us again the liberty and the opportunity in whose Interests our governments were conceived."— WOODROW WILSON. "It's easy enough to call names, but wise men don't do it"—WOODROWS WILSON. WIL80N M08T NOTABLE THINKER OF PERIOD. Richmond (Va.) Tlmes-Dlspatch. Woodrow Wilson Is not a phenomenon. He is a- fact He Is not an incident, he is a cause. No present day speaker so clearly states true Democratlo principles none so clearly trans lates the ancient and fundamen tal philosophy of the relation of one man with another man In terms of present day understand ing. For stating and discussing the political and economic ques tions which have arisen in the nation, he stands head and shoulders above the other char acters. He reduces volumes to an epigram he packs into a phrase a great popular Issue. In plain and homely English he points out the problem and as •Imply suggests Its lolstion. Gov ernor Wilson Is easily the most notable political thinker of the period. •a' w" A CLEAN BARBER That's What'everybody wants and he will be satisfied if he'1 shaves as my shop^ 1st Door 3outh Hotel Leon.
