WILSON AND MARSHALL
Democratic Rally Saturday,
November 2nd., 11 A. M.
A Message To The Ameri
can People From The Peer
less Leader Woodrow Wil
son. Come Out And Hear It.
Wilson's Serene And Sober Democracy
Govarnor Wiléon says he does not care to sit up all night on the
s:h of November to follow the fragmentary returns. He would pre:
fer to go to bed—and read the papers in the morning.
Here is a significant point in the character of the Democratic can
didate, Whether he stays up to watch the ticker or not, his friencs
will testify that be is not over anxiovs. He does not strain himself
to be President. He is the least concerned of all the candidates,
This fast has an important bearing upon the guality of Wilson’s
demociacy. His eagerness for the power that other men can bestow
upon hit is checked by his knewledge that a man’s greatest power is
never given or taken away by majority vote. He is the kind of a
democrat that would rather rule a cabin made by himself than a@éing-'«
dom that others have made for him. His democracy is of the oldstock.
He hates arbitrary and adventitious power.
Sueh power as he now possesses he has won by absorbing himself
in his own proper work. He can win more in the same way—what
ever happens on Election Day. He will never be out of a job.
However, there is no doubt that Wilson will be elected, and there
is no doubt that he will plunge with enthustssm into tbhe work of the
Presidency. Only the Presidency must come to him as a sequence to
what Ire has always been doing and as a thing in the course of nature,
Wilson’s democracy ‘has the serenity of the old Virginian type—
of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. He is on theirline. But he has
travelled with the age, : ‘
Wilson is by all odds the most progressive man in the Presiden
tial lists, because he understands—as none of the rest do—that the
energy of modern politics is in the organization of the working world.
He knows that the way to make private business wore public n its
aim and operation 1s te make public business more personal mare
matter-of-fact and businesslike,
He sweeps away the superstition that grivate afairs and pabiie
affairs ean be conducted on different morat plans. Since he perceives
that it is impossible to maintain a bigher meral standard in public life
than obtains in average industry and trade, he insists that both stan
dards must rise together. He is not going te knock the brains out of
big business; on the contrary, he is trying to put ‘brains into big
business. |
Wilson is:a terror to the bosses because he refuses to be one.,
They fear him by instinet; but the whole messure of his menace 10
them they—simple souls!l—do not yet full comprehend. Wilson
understands, of course, that bosses live on the eorruption of commer-g
cialism. He will abolish the bosses by abolishing the corraption. 5
Seeing that a feverish politics—swinging a pig stick—cannot
allay the fever of bad business, Wilson would restore the health of
economics and the health of politics by reviving the spirit of free initi-!
ative and local self-government—i. e., the democratic spirit.
‘He wovld strengthen the structure of government from bottom to
top—beginning with the foundations, where the people live,
A vote for Wilson is a vote for a cool-headed captain, who is par
ticular about his chart, his compass and his port. He is a bold sailor,
but he is prudent. And he is imperturbable in storms.
These are stormy times—in Europe, in Asia and elsewhere. Yes
terday’s news of the disasters to Turkey brings the Great Powers of
Europe to the verge of a wide vortex of war. Within the next four
years Europe is likely to exhaust its economic strength in devastating
military campaigns. A reaction toward militarism and absolutism in
Europe will leave the great American Republic standing where it
stood a century ago—the only competent and conspicuous champion
of political freedom and industrial efficiency.
Under such circumstances the the United Siates may, within this
decade, achieve an earth-gripping power, a mastery of material things
so sane and irresistible that it can dictate the peace of the world and
impose the methods of its own prosperity upon the bewildered people
of Europe. :
. That is the kind of role that the great Democrats have always
meant t» plav. It is the kind of thing Wilson cares about. He would
organize the creative forces of the United States so that its science{
and industry should be more terrible to despotism than any ‘‘army
with banners.”
This is a great day for the trying-out of free government.
It is a day to sit tight in the saddle of Democracy. {

this puay is very simple—nothnag
but a Coumty Fair scene with all
‘manner of people eoming to the
fair. It will be awxeal picture of
the real olditime Courty Fair, with
digpiays innumerable of rich, yel

While the displays abowe des

the visitors at the fair and in the
musical cumbers to be presented .
As the scene opens the loud

almost deafen you with their migh

cession of farmers, old maids,
school boys, jockeys, preachers,
bride and groom, gold brick men,
city visitors and all the characters
one can possibly Imagine at a coun
ty fair, each with an appropriate
dialogue and conversation. All
these dialogues are of the mcst
humorous nature and have a life
