We favor granting to the people of Alaska, Hawil and Porto Rico the traditional territorial government ac- j corded to all Territories of the Uni ted States since the beginning of our government, and we believe the offi cials appointed to administer the government of those several Territo ries should be qualified by previous bona fide residence. Cnndidatles.

Woodrow Wilson stands to-day the greatest American of his generation. Conclusion. This is a critical period in the his tory of America; a critical hour In the history of the world. Upon the record above set forth, which shows groat achievement in following out a consistent policy of our domestic and internal development; upon the record of the domestic administra tion which has maintained the honor, the dignity and the Interests of the United States and ot the same time retained the respect and friendship of all the nations of the world, and upon the groat policies for thc fu ture strengthening of the life of our country and the enlargement of our national vision and tho ennob ling of our international relations as set forth above, we appeal with con fidence to the voters of the country.
