A weak President would have plunged the United States into war. It is easy to hate, easy to strike. To do so requires neither bravery nor intelligence ? and these are the very attributes which must characterize our Chief Executive if he is to guide the nation aright. The courage, the devotion and the statesmanship of Woodrow Wilson have saved the nation from a horror and a crime. He played for the verdict of mankind and he has won the verdict. He has stood firm against the lying clamor of concessionaires basely willing to guarantee their dividends with the blood of . American youth. It is not alone that the United States is at peace, that the land is not filled with a vast crying, that homes are not darkened, that our, eyes are not scarred by the sight of the blind, the mangled and the wrecked.

It has been shown that greed does not dominate us, that we square our practices with our professions, and that weaker peoples need not fear our friendship. Even while feeding the hungry of the world, relieving wretchedness, and championing humanity, we stand ready to conduct those negotiations by which peace will come again to the world. Woodrow Wilson has given you peace and prosperity without sacrifice of prin ciple, without loss of honor. Are these blessings nothing to you? Do you want to serve notice upon mankind that the United States favors a policy of war and con quest? Do you stand for the proposition that no Presi dent may expect re-election who offends High Finance or who refuses to take his foreign policies from concessionaires and alien conspirators?
