WEST STRONG FOR WOOCROWJMI Rank and File of the Party In That Great Section Recog nize His Worth. HAS REDEEMED HIS PLEDGES Hl* Actions as Chief Executive Os ths State of New Jersey Show His Political Ability and In tegrity—Loyal to People. BY CHARLES Q. HEIFNER, Chairman of Democratic State Com mltteo of Washington. I know pretty accurately the sentl-, ment of the rank and file of the dem ocrats of the West They are strong-; ly In favor of Woodrow Wilson for our Presidential nominee next year. I feol euro that tills statement will hold good In every state west of the Mis sissippi Klver. I recently spent somo time In the east on business that brought mo In touch with a number of Influential business men. Inci dentally I have had occasion to dis cuss political conditions with these men and I am glnd to say that, regard less of past party affiliations, I And them strongly In favor of Governor Wilson. It is not difficult to ascer tain the cause of this faith and trust and confidence on the part of farm ers, wago workers and business men In the political ability and integrity of Woodrow Wilson. Ho kept the faith. A year ago while a candidate for Governor of New Jersey ho made certain pledges and promises to the people of that trust ridden state. The people took him at hie word and elect ed him, tho first democrat to be elected Governor In that state In six teen years, and to tho gratifying amazement of all honest men and to the utter consternation of the political tricksters ho and Ills loyal support ers In tho legislature proceeded to en act laws and carry out plans In ex act conformity with his pledged word to tho people. Among tho plain peo ple everywhere he has come to bo re garded an a man whose performances square with his promises. Just such a man Is Imperatively needed as tho chief executive of the United States. Having demonstrated his practical ca pacity to accomplish things In his own state, though one branch of the legislature was of opposite political faith. It Is not surprising that there is such an overwhelming demand for his elevation to tho White House. All Favor Wilson. I believe the State of Washington will send a delegation to the next Democratic National Convention fa vorable to Governor Wilson for our presidential candidate, and I might say further that I believe he Is the only democrat who can get the elec toral vote of that state, and other Western States. We democrats out there are not unmindful of tho merit ed consideration which other great democrats aro recolvlng at tho hands of their fellow citizens throughout the country, but wo believe Governor Wilson, more nearly than any other avowed candidate, typifies In his rec ord and his personality, those quali ties and characteristics which the average American Is proud to see ex emplified In tho President of his country. Hence, his popularity In the Blast, the West, the North and tho South. His record as a scholar, an educator, an historian and as stu dent and writer on social and eco nomic subjects all combine to equip him to bo Just what be is today—a fin ished orator, a great statesman and our logical leader In solving the great industrial and financial questions ! which now disturb the business world, and which the republican party has proved Itself Incapable either to un derstand or to solve. Governor Wil son Is progressive In that ho Is not I wedded to the mildewed past or to 1 precedent to such an extent as to make him timid and afraid to meet the j demands of the present hour. I am i for him becauso he stands for genuine ] representative government—the act ual rule of the people after careful I consideration of all governmental j matters coming before them. He would free trade and commerco of the Imposts and handicaps with which 1 they are now burdened. He would j place on the statute books a law reg j uh.tlng Inter-state commerce so clear, j so ooncise, so Just and so definite that 1 all men and r.ll corporations would not j he left In doubt as to whether they were complying with or violating the I law. He would thus place our Indus trial affairs upon a solid and legiti mate foundation, freed from uncer tainty and dlstrusL In his record as Governor of New Jersey he has literally lived up to and exemplified In his every act the | time honored tenet of democracy: "Equal rights for all, special privileges to none.” He will bring to the discharge of his duties as chief magistrate of the na ! tlon, the right scholarship of a Ban croft, a Lowell and a Hawthorne, all of whom held political office; he will hare had the experience that comes from practical administration and executive responsibilities, and In every respect he will worthily rank with those other great leaders of democracy whose achievements make | brighter and more glorious the pages of American history. These are some | of the reasons w-hy I am for him and why the American people are for him. 83 j ßeliable Goods.) h$ m mm am •am am am na mm t&a m r ©» sss e» asm mm mi mi a S rkm ma am ass am cm mm eb mam am msa mms mu mm am am am SSi THE BEST IN SHOES, HATS m CLOTHING | I and Genuine Dry Goods will be found in my stock.
