TELLS DEMOCRATS' PLAN! ItU'rance of a Statesman Is tl Comment of All Party I venders In Congress. Washington, December 2.?Pres dent Wllsson today laid before Com ress the legislative ambition of tli Democratic Administration. For exactly 28 minuets the Pres J dent stood before the assembled Sei ate and House, in the chamber c the latter, and read his first annus message. Applause punctuated In portant utterances and when he ha finished there was an enthusiastl demonstration with liandclappin and cheers. Briefly the President outlined programe for socal justice and th general welfare of the nation an proclaimed the aspirations d|f th United States for international amit and the maintenance of constiU tlonal government In all America. With close, almost eager attentlor members of the two houses listene and time and again the legislator gave vent to their enthusiasm alon with the crowded gallerres. BRIEF, BUT POINTED. Bess than 3.000 words long, th message was one of the briefest an most novel of American state paper ?a marked contrast, as presente by its author today to the hithert lengthy documents averaging 20,00 words or more droned through by reading clerk to an inattentive Con gress. There was another contrast con spicuosuly apparent. PresidentWilso had read three messages before?o the tariff, the currency and Mexioa affairs. The first time he addressed Joint session in person early in thi term, there was an atmosphere o stiff formality appluase was libera a but perfunctory and there was a: Indefinable air of ?or a century-old custom being rt vived. Also there was an expeotan curiosity as to how the Presiden woul be received. Today the Presl dent's reception was warm, almos uproarious as he concluded his read Ing. PRAISE FROM ROTH SIDES. Later, Republicans and Democrat alike pronounsed the message as th utterance of a statesman. "I like the idea of the Presiden coming before Congress," said Rep resentative Mann, Republican hous leader, "and reading a short message pithy and to the point. In the mail I like the message today. I thinl everybody will recognize it as th uteerance of a statesman, rcgardles of whether he agree with its details.' Of particular significance was on outburst regarded in the nationa capital today?the unmistakable ap proval that greeted the President' remark: "There can he no certain prosper of peace in America until Genera Huerta has surrendered his usurpet authority in Mexico." Among those who would discus the message in Congress there was i general endorsement of the adminis tration's policy toward Mexico. HEARD RY PACKED HOUSE. The scene of today's function wa much the same as on the three prev ious occasions, when President Wil son has addressed Congress?gal lerlps crowded with men and womei of Importance in public affairs, mem bers of the cabinet, the diplomat!' corps and the White House family Democratic leaders were enthus iastic In their comments on the mes sane and its recommendations. The; liked the emphasis placed by th< President on the need for early actloi on the currency, for dealing wltl monopoly through anti-trust legisla tion, tlio importance of rural credi legislation to benefit the farmers the recommendations for governmen contsruction of railroads in Alaska the development of the nation's re sources by a conservation policj alike acceptable to the state and th< federal authorities, the enactmen of employers' liabilities legislatioi and the selection of presidential can didates by the primary system. MEETS WITH APPRHVAi. The suggestion of the President that party conventionR as at present constituted be abolished won muel applause. As Mr. WilRon declare* that the party convention should b< held only to ratify the verdict o1 preferential primaries, that the per sonnel of the conventions should be for the most part, chosen from thos* members of Congress and congres sional nominees upon whom woulr devolve the duty of carrying oul platform pledges, thefe was a wav* of handclapping, In which Secretarj Bryan and members of the cablnel Joined. "It was a fine, statosmanlik< speech," said Speaker Clark after wards, "covering points that I hav* been agitating for years, particular!) presidential primaries." "I think," said Itepresentatlv* Oscar W. Underwood, "the Presl dent's message was the address of i broad statesman, covering the scop* of the necessary legislative action 01 this session of Congress. It was in HIH accord with the principles and poll- Kllcies of our party as declared at Haiti- UIU Dmore, and I have no doubt it will meet with favorable action by the house of representatives." START ALREADY MADE, j , For nearly all of the legislation outlined in the message, the ground work has been laid, and the Presi- loiai : dent plans to speak further to Congress with relation to anti-trust reforms. Alaskan railroad legislation 2 I now is before both houses, a work- a||? i man's compensation act has been fa- ' j vorably considered in each house, i and bills on the other important subIe jects are in a position to receive iin- ' 'v,>* mediate attention. ' The declaration for legislation to provide for primary elections for 1- presidential nominees, without the Tin ?" intervention of nominating conven- ^ia ie tions, bore immediate fruit in the ' house. Representative Rucker, of 1- Missouri, chairman of the house com- avalla i- mittee on privileges and elections, to- count; )f night began framing a bill to cover durinj il all the President's suggestions. He ! 'n the i- will Immediately introduce it with a ' Intend d view to getting action by his com- | ingen ic mittee before the Christmas holidays, , shown g if possible.
