President Seta Forth "Failures" of Republicans
and Achievements of

I
Long Brnnch, N. J., Sept. 2.?Presl- t
dent Wilson received today nt Shadow i
Lawn, the summer White House, the
formal notification of his renominutlon
by the Democratic party from the notification
committee headed by Senator
Ollie James.
In response Mr. Wilson spoke in
part as follows:
Senator James, Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee. Fellow Citizens:
I cannot accept the leadership
und responsibility which the National
Democratic convention has again. In
such generous fashion, asked me to
uccept without first expressing my
profound gratitude to the party for
the trust It reposes in me after four
years of fiery trial In the midst of affairs
of unprecedented difficulty, and
the keen sense of added responsibility
with which this honor fills (1 bad almost
said burdens) me as 1 think of
the great Issue* of national life and
policy Involved in the present and Imluedfhte
future conduct of our governInicnt.
1 shall seek, tis I have always
/sought, to Justify the extraordinary
confidence thus reposed In me by striving
to purge my benrt and purpose of
every personal and of every misleading
party motive and devoting every
energy I have to the service of the nation
as a whole, praying that I may
continue to have the counsel and sui>port
of all forward-looking men at every
turn of the difficult business.
For I do not doubt that the people
of the United States will wish the
Democratic party to continue in control
of the government. They are not
In the habit of rejecting those who
have actually served them for those
who are making doubtful and conjectural
promises of service. Least of ,
all arc they likely to substitute those
who promised to reader theni part leuInr
servlees and proved false to that
promise for those who have actually
rendered those very servlees.
Republican "Failures" Cited.
The Republican party was put out
of power because of failure, practical
failure and moral failure; because It
had served speelul Interests and not
the country at large; because, under
the leadership of Its preferred and established
guides, of those who still
make Its choices. It had lost touch
with the thoughts and the needs of the
nation and was living In a past age
and under a fixed Illusion, the Illusion
of greutness. It had framed tarllT
laws bused upon a fear of foreign
trade, u fundamental doubt as to
American skill, enterprise, and capacity,
and a very tender regard for the
protltuble privileges of those who hud
gained control of domestic markets
and domestic credits; and yet had enacted
antitrust laws which hampered
the very things they meant to foster,
which were stiff und Inelastic, and In
part unintelligible. It hud permitted
the country throughout the long period
of Its control to stagger from ono
financial crisis to another under the
operation of a national hanking law
Vof Its own framing which made stringency
and panic certain and the control
of the larger business operations
of the country by the hunkers of a
few reserve centers Inevitable; had
'made ns if tt meant to reform the law
hut had faint-heartedly failed In the
attempt, because It could not bring Itself
to do the* one thing necessary to
make the reform genuine and effectual,
namely, break up the control of
small groups of bankers. It had been
oblivions, or Indifferent, to the fact

without stunding In the matter of ]
commercial credit, without tlte protec- i
tlon of standards In their.market <
transactions, antl without systematic i
knowledge of the markets themselves; >
that the laborers of the country, the f
great army of men who man the In- i
dustrles It was professing to father i
and promote, carried their labor as a i
mere commodity to market, were subject
to restraint by novel and drastic <
process In the courts, were without as- ?
surance of compensation for Industrial >
accidents, without federal assistance <
In accommodating labor disputes, and i
without national aid or advice In And- <
lug the places and the Industries In f
which their labor was most needed, t
The country bad no natlonnl system <

Little Intelligent attention was paid t
to the army, and not enough to the r
navy. The other republics of America
distrusted us. because they found that
we thought lirst of the profits of <
American Investors and only as an af- \
* terthought of Impartial Justice and t
helpful friendship. Its policy was pro- \
vlhelnl in all things; Its purposes were t
?^?ut of harmony with the tenij?er and i
^npurjmse of the people and the timely t
development of the Motion's Interests. I

What Democrats Have Done.
The tariff has been revised, not on
he principle of repelling foreign
trade, but upoa the principle of encouraging
It. upon something like n
footing of eqnnllty with our own In
respect of the terms of competition,
ind a tariff board has been created
whose function It will be to keep the
relations of American with foreign
t>u sin ess and Industry under constnnt
observation, for the guidance of our
business men and of our congress.
American energies nre now directed
towards the mnrkets of the world.
The laws against trusts have been
clarified by definition, with a view
to making It plain that they were not
llrected against big business but only
against unfair business and the pretense
of competition where there was
none; and a trade commission has
been created with powers of guidance
and accommodation which have relieved
business men of unfounded
Tes.rs and set them upon the road of
booefnI utifl cimfl/iont ? * ?
. ? u..uu\:ui ruin pnsi?.
By the federal reserve net the supply
of currency nt the disposal of active
business has been rendered elnstlc,
taking its volume, not from n fixed
body of Investment securities, but
from the liquid assets of dally trade.
Effective measures have been taken
for the re-creatlou of an American
merchant marine and the revival of
the American currying trade.
The Interstate commerce commission
hns been reorganised to enable
It to perform Its great nnd Important
functions more promptly snd more efficiently.
We have created, extended
nnd Improved the service of the parrels
post.
For the fanners of the country we
tiuve virtually created commercial
credit. by means of the federal reserve
net nnd the rural credits act. They
now have the standing of other business
men In the money market. We
have successfully regulated speculation
in "futures'* ?und established
standards in the marketing of grains.
By an Intelligent warehouse act we
have assisted to make the standard
crops available as never before both
for systematic innrketlng and as a
security for loans from the banks.
For Labor and Children.
The worklngmen of America have
been given a Writable emancipation,
by the legal recognition of a man's
labor as part of Ids life, and not a
mere marketable commodity; by exempting
labor organizations from processes
of the courts which trented their
members like fractional parts of mobs
nnd not like accessible and responsible
individuals; by releasing our seamen
from Involuntary servitude; by
tanking adequate provision for compensation
for industrial accidents; by
providing suitable machinery for mediation
and conciliation In Industrial
disputes; and by patting the federal
lepartment of Labor nt the disposal of
Che worklngmun when In search of
work.
We have effected the (^mancipation
:>f the children of the country by releasing
them from hurtful labor. We
linvo Instituted a system of national
[ltd In the building of highroads such
is the country hns been feeling after
for a century. We have sought to
equalize taxation by means of an
coultnhle Income tax. We have taken
thi steps that ought to have been
taken nt the outset to open up the resources
of Alaska. We have provided
for national defense upon n
scale never before seriously proposed
upon the responsibility of an entire
political party. We have driven the
tariff lobby from cover and obliged It
to substitute solid argument for priruto
Influence.
Foreign Policy Stated.
In foreign affairs we have been
k'uided by principles clearly conceived
and consistently lived up to.
Perhaps they have not been fully comprehended
because they have hitherto
iroverned International affairs only In
theory, not In prnctlce. They are simple,
obvious, easily stated, and fundamental
to American Ideals.
We have been neutral not only because
It was the tixed and traditional
policy of the United States to stand
iloof from the politics of Burope and
leeause we had no part either of nclon
or of policy in the Influences which
irought on the present war, but also
lecause It was manifestly our dutv to
prevent. If It were possible, the indefllite
extension of the fires of hate and
lesolutlon kindled by that terrible conllcl
and seek to serve mankind by re?ervlng
our strength and our resources
'or the anxious and dtfllcult days of
estorntlon and healing which must
'ollow, when peace will have tn nt.iifi
ts house anew.
The rights of our own citizens of
?our???? been me Involved: Hint was Inevitable.
Where they <11*1 this was our
tulding principle: that property rights
nn he vindicated by claims for dainiges
when the war Is over, nnd no inod?rn
nation can decline to arbitrate
tuch claims; hut the fundamental
Ights of humanity cannot he. The loss
>f life Is Irrepnrohle. Neither can di ect
violations of a nation's soverelgny
await vindication In suits for I'niuiges.
As to Mexico.
While Europe was at war our own
ontlnent. one of our own neighbors,
vas shaken hy revolution. In that
natter, too, principle was plain and It
vns Imperative that we should live up
o It If we were to deserve the trust of
my real partisan of the right ns free
a en see It. We have profesaed to beleve,
ami we do believe, that the people
of small ni^l weak states have the
Ight to expect to be dealt with exacty
as !he people of big and powerful
dates would he. We have acted upon
hat principle In dealing with the people
of Mexico
TUB LANCASTER N1
Our receut pursuit of bandit* into
Mexicuti territory was no violation of
that principle. We ventured to enter
Mexican territory only been use there
were no military forces in Mexico that
coulu protect our bonier from hostile
attack ami our own people from violence.
and we have committed ihere
no single act of hostility or interference
even with the sovereign authority
of the republic of Mexico herself.
Many serious wrongs against the
property, many Irreparable wrongs
against the persons, of Americans have
been committed within the territory of
Mexico herself during this confused
revolution, wrongs which could not be
effectually checked so long as there
was no constituted power In Mexico
which was In a position to check them.
We could not act directly In that matter
ourselves without denying Mexicans
the right to any revolution at nil
which disturbed us and making the
emancipation of her own people await
our own Interest and convenience.
Problems of Near Future.
The future, the immediate future,
will bring us squarely face to face with
I many great and rxartlnv nrohlems
which will search us through and
through whether we he nhlc and ready
to play the part in the world thnt we
moan to play.
There must he a Just and settled
peace, and we here In America must
contribute the full force of our enthusiasm
and of our authority as a
nation to the organization of that
peace upon world-wide foundations
that cannot easily he shaken. No nation
should he forced to tnke sides in
any quarrel In which its own honor
and integrity and the fortunes of Its
own people are not Involved; hut no
nation can any longer remain neutral
us against any willful disturbance of
the peace of the world.
tine of the contributions we must
make to the world's pence is this:
We must see to it that the people in
our insular possessions are treated
in their own lands as we would treat
them here, and make the rule of the
United States mean the same thing
everywhere?the same Justice. the
same consideration for the essential
rights of men.
Itesides contributing our ungrudging
moral and practical auj port to the
establishment of pence throughout the
world we must actively and Intelligently
prepare ourselves to do our full
service in the tinde and Industry
which are to sustain and develop the
life of the nations In the days to come.
We have already been provident In
this great matter and supplied ourselves
with the instrumentalities of
prompt adjustment. We have created,
in the federal trade commission, a
means of Inquiry and of accommodation
in the Held of commerce which
ought both to co-ordinate the enterprises
of our traders and manufacturers
and to remove the harriers of
misunderstanding and of a too technical
Interpretation of the Inw. In
the new tariff commission we have
added another instrumentality of observation
and adjustment which promises
to he Immediately serviceable.
We have already formulated and
agreed upon a policy of Inw which
will explicitly remove the ban now
supposed to rest upon co-operation
I amongst our exporters In seeking and
| securing uieir proper place in the
markets of the world. The field will
he free, the Instrumentalities lit linnd.
At home also we must see to It that
the men who plan nnd develop and direct
our business enterprises shall enJoy
definite and settled conditions of
law, a policy accommodated to the
freest progress. We linve set the Just
and necessary limits. We have put
all kinds of unfair competition under
the ban and penalty of the law. We
have barred monopoly. These fatal
and ugly things being excluded, we
must now quicken action and facilitate
enterprise by every Just means
within our choice. There will be
pence lu the business world, and. with
peace; revived confidence and life.
We ought both to husband and to
develop our natural resources, our
mines, our forests, our water power.
I wish we could have made more progress
than we have made In this vital
matter.
We must hearten and quicken the
spirit and efficiency of labor throughout
our whole Industrial system by
everywhere and in all occupations doing
Justice to the laborer, not only by
paying a living wage, but also by
making all the conditions that surround
labor what they ought to be.
We must eo-ordlnafe the railway
systems of the country for national
use. nnd must facilitate and promote
their development with n view to that
co-ordination and to their better
adaptation ns n whole tr? the life and
trade and defense of the nation. The
life nnd Industry of the country ran
I he free nnd unhampered only if these
arteries are open, efficient, and complete.
Thus shall we stand ready to meet
the future ns circumstance and Infer
national policy effect their unfolding,
whether the changes come slowly or
come fast nnd without preface.
