Ollie M. James, Permanei
Pay? Wilson Glowing Ti
icy Shows He "Neither I
Fears the Strong."
(By Associated Press.)
St. Louis, Juno 16*-Tito achievn
meuts ot the Wilson administration
in enacting beneficial legislation and
in keeping the country at peace with
out sacriHco of the national honor
wera pronounced enoch-mah inf lu
American history by Senator Ollie M.
James of Kentucky, in his addre&? to
day aa permanent chairman bf tho
Democratic National convention.
"During three years " of lia ?aUsu*
ni contre?," said ' Senator "rames, "de
mocracy bas enacted into law more,
progressive remedial .. legislation thtm
the nation has .eyer had written upon
ita statute Shooks, since, its birth. In
former national 'cohtestt* in tho last
two decade-; our party came' as a
prophet. Today we come with deeds,
not words; with performance, not
promise.. The democratic party has
kept its word with the American 'peo
ple. Wo have made good."
Tho chairman reviewed at length i
the legislative record of the adminis
tration and eulogised the president
for,his direction of foreign affairs.'
The< democrats, he sad, had enacted
a tariff hnv under which monopolies
were curbed and unexampled pron- j
perity attained; a banking law taking,
the money control out of the handB
of an oligarchy and making panics,
no longer, possjble; and many re-'
folrnjs measures , of lesser^ lmpor--.|
tance
Ho . declared^ .President .Wilson's1
Mexican policy and hts course in j
protecting .American . rights against j
. the encroachments of European bel- j
ligerents had sttovn all the world
" that the president "neither bullies
the weak nor fears the strong.".'
In" concluding appeal for the,
- triumph or patriotism .above politics.'.
Senator James said the renomination '
ot such a . pre isl dent in partisan. con? i
ventlop ought not to be necessary, and:
that. to d ?se rod i tv him, might p?lsy the
hand that could write . the peace
treaty of the world".
At the outset the senator roferroi
briefly to- Pre'sldeut WilsohV cam

apd pointed*, out^ tb4t .:irnder thu? ?a-'

been amended for - the-first time since i

none had charged that it waa inef

after reviewing briefly democratic
legislation which he declared bad
made prosperity possible "the Unit

ports. ..-We aro more prosperous than
ever, and mills which have not turn
ed S spindle for years are now busy.
Ail the >.-.borers of the United States
are employed aa never before. With
the world-war raging, our country ja
the only neutral one tlr-.it. le not in
distress and tho only-one that has not
declared a moratorium. Evesy de
mand of thc etrers pf war, the demo
cratic party has met quickly. We
have freed buslnes? from the black
rr-iil of the politician as havo
emancipated it from the clutch of
.monopoly."
' Likened to Lincoln.
The senator - likened President Wil
son's Mexican policy to that of Lin
coln, and quoted from a declaration
of the latter to show that he had de
clined to Intervene when . condlt'ona
were much the same as now. ,
"It. ls ta .perfestly easy thing." he
continuedi "for tho- president of the
United runion to plunge hi? . country
Into war If he ls a politician before

The president hjad acted quickly,

invasion o?' -American territory, 'and <
the cunitive expedition now was do-1
lng ali that this country could do]
with honor in Mexico. ?
"No president I during->the Ufo of
this republic," said tho senator, "ha*
ever had to dt\i\ with yo matty deli
cate and dangerous problema aa
those which have j confronted j Presi-1
dent Wilson. With more than halt
of : the world Jin arms In rhu ope,
with Mexico tn.revolution at our bor
der, these di (lieu lt and complicating
problems ha confronted . him al- j
most daily, and he has handled them
as becomes a patriot and a states
man. When the Lusitania was sunk
I tho militant voice of Theodore Roose
velt cried out for war, 'abd if. he had
been preaident of the United Skates
at that time, today 500,000 bravo
American sons would bo confiding
around tho forts, of Verdun- lr this
mighty rnaolstrom of blood-tlpis
ands would have been burled In dltov
es. Our president, patient, patriotic,
far-nlghted, the real statesman, hard
led thia question with the greatest
ability, and won for America its
greatest diplomatic victory. "There
are happily two kinds of courage,
the couragu ot .the man who ?3 will
ing to undertake tho dangers hh?
sclf and the courage of tho man that
sends . others to- tho conflict. Wood
row Wilson has both hindu of cour
