1BE PEOPLE MUST JUDGE
Praaldent Makes Splendid Address to
Large , Crowd at Indianapolis-—
Says Mexico Most Fight It Out—
Wants Americans to Leave Europe
Alone and Become Interested Here.
President Wilson In a Jackson day
speech at Indianapolis, Ind., Friday
voiced what his hearers interpreted
as a hint that he might be a candi
date for the presidency agaip in, 1916.
The audience or more than 4,000
people rose to their feet and cheered
until the president called for quiet.
The president had been discussing
the Mexican question. Referring to
his belief that he knew the tempera
ment and principles of the American
people, he added that he would not be
fit-to stay where he was if he did not
understand them.
“There may come a time,” he de
clared, “when the American people
will have to judge whether I know
what 1 am talking about or not.”
There was a slight pause and then
the crowd began cheering. Realizing
the construction which had been put
on his words, the president held up
his hand for silence and said:
“I did not mean to stir up any
thing. That was merely preparatory
to saying that for at least two more
years I am free to think I know the
American people.”
Picturing the United States as ful-
flling the high function of "servant of
mankind,” President Wilson's spsech
was full of words of peace and prom
ise to business, of caution and admo
nition to his party, of invitation and
compliment to the independent voter,
of fairness to struggling Mexico, of
friendly neutrality to the embattled
powertf, of fealty and devotion to the
great spirit of the United States as a
nation.
Especially significant weer the pres
ident's references to the relations be
tween the United States and others
of the earth. Prs-eminently interest
ing. perhaps, was his statement that
so long as he had the power, the
Mexicans should be given the oppor
tunity to work out their own salva
tion, even If bloodshed were neces
sary to pay the price of their evolu
tion. Europe was shedding blood
dally to settle its problems, he sal I.
and Mexico should be allowed the
chance to enfranchise Itself In the
hard school of experience.
The president spoke of the oppor
tunity for business men. telling of the
achievements of congress In the fight
to make business ways better and
clearer and touched on the bright In
dustrial prospects
That the i/nlted States will ulti
mately stand as the mediator in the
great European war was another con
viction expressed by the president.
He pointed to the future, when the
nstlons of the earth shall recognise
America's position and attitude and
come to the western giant with their
mediation plans
A federal employment bureau and
reform In court procedure advanced
ky the president were the two new
questions taken up In his address. It
was understood Friday night that he
would press both subjects on congress
at the earliest pemtble opportunity.
The president said in part:
"Gov. Ralston. Ladies and Gentle
men: You have given me a most
royal welcome, for which I thank you
from the bottom of my heart. It is
rather lonely living in Washington.
1 have been confined for two years at
hard labor and even now I feel that I
am simply out on parole. You notice
that one of the most distinguished
members of the United States senate
is here to see that I go back. And
yet, with sincere apologies to the Sen
ate and House of Representatives, I
want to say that I draw more inspira
tion from you than I do from them.
"They, like myself, are only ser
vants of the people of the United
States. Our sinews consist in your
sympathy and support, and our re
newal comes from contact with yru.
and with the strong movements of
public opinion In this country. That
is the reason why I for one would
prefer that our thoughts should not
too often cross the ocean but should
centre themselves upon the policies
and duties of the United States. If
we think of the United States, when
the time comes we shall know this
country can serve the world. I will
borrow a very interesting phrase from
a distinguished ge&tleman of my ac
quaintance and beg that you will
keep your moral powder dry.
‘ Jackson a Forthright Man.
“But I have come here on Jackson
day. If there are Republicans pres
ent I hope they will feel the compel-
ing Influences of such a day. There
was nothing mild about Andrew Jack-
son; that Is the reason I spoke of the
‘CompeHlng influences of the day.’
Andrew Jackson was a forthright man
who believed everything he did be
lieve in fighting earnest. And really,
ladies and gentlemen, in public life
that is the only sort of man worth
thinking about for a moment.
“If I was not ready to fight for
everything I believe in, I would think
It ~my duty to go back and take a
back seat. I like, therefore, to
breathe the air of Jackson day. I
like to be reminded of the old mili
tant hosts of Democracy which I be
lieve come to life'again in our time.
“The United States had almost for
gotten that it must keep its fighting
ardor in behalf of mankind when An
drew Jackson became president; and
yea will notice that whenever the
United States forgets its ardor for
mankind a Democrat is elected pres
ident. The trouble with the Republi
can party is that it has not had a new
Man for II yearn. I am not speak-
tag as a pottttdaa; I aa
J have bake
la thh reeorde aad I
Mt found any proceeding from the
Republican rankh.’’
The president added that the Re
publican party had had leaden who
suggested new ideas, “but I have
tried to carry them out,” aad con
tinued:
Hole tor the Guay.
"I would not speak with disrespect
of the Republican pasty. I always
speak wUb great- respect of the past.
The pgst was necessary to the pres
ent, and was a sure retrospection of
the future. The Republican party is
still a covert and a refuge for those
who are afraid-—for those who want
to consult their grandfathers about
everything. . . .
“You will see, therefore, that I
have come to you in the spirit of
Jackson day. I got tired of staying
in Washington and saying sweet
things. I wanted to come out and
get In contact with you once more
and say what I really thought.
“My friends, what I particularly
want you to observe is this, that
politics in this country does not de
pend any longer upon the regular
members of either party. There are
not enough regular Republicans in
this country to take and hold na
tional power; and I must Immediately
-^dd there are not enough regular
Democrats in this country to do it
either..
“This country is guided and its
policy is determined by the independ
ent voter; and I have come to ask
you how we can best prove to the in
dependent voter that the instrument
he needs is the Democratic party and
that it would be hopeless for him to
attempt to use the Republican party.
1 do not*b«ve to prove it; I admit it.”
Why Democracy Excels.
Declaring that only one-third of
the Republican party was progressive
and that about two-thirds of the
Democratic party was progressive, the
president said "the independent pro
gressive voter finds a great deal more
company in the Democratic ranks
than in the Republican ranks.
“I say a great deal more.” he con
tinued, "because there are Democrats
who are sitting on the breeching-
strap; there are Democrats who are
holding back. There are Democrats
who are nervous. I dare say they
were born with that temperament.
And I respect the conservative tem
per. I claim to be an animated con
servative myself. . t . All the foVces
of America are forces In action or
else they are forces of inertion.
“What I want to point out to you.
and I believe that this is whst the
whole country is beginning to per
celve, is this, that these is a larger
body of men in the regular ranks of
the Democratic party who believe in
the progressive policies of our day
. . . than there Is In the ranks of
the Republican party. How can you
be otherwise, gentlemen? The Dem
ocratic party and only the Democratic
party has carried out the policies
which the progressive people of this
country have desired There Is not
a stogie great act of this present great
congress which has not been carried
out In obedience to the public opinion
of America. . . .
The Ctwey Relief.
“Let me Instance a Single thing: I
want to ask the business men here
present If this Is not the first Janu
ary In their recollection that did not
bring a money stringency for the time
being, because of the necessity of pay
ing out great sums of money by way
of dividends and the other settle
ments which come at the first of the
year? I have asked the bankers If
that happened this year and they say.
‘No It did not happen; It could not
happen under the federal reserve set.’
We have emancipated the credits of
this country. . . .
“I have taken a long time, ladles
and gentlemen, to select the federal
trade commission because I wanted
to choose men and be sure that 1 had
chosen men who would be really ser
viceable to the business men of this
country, great as well gs smalt, the
rank and file. These things have been
done and will never be undone. They
were talked about and talked about
with futility until a Democratic con
gress attempted and achieved them.
“But the Democratic party is not
to suppose that it is done with the
business. The Democratic party is
still on trial. This country is not go
ing to use any party that can not do
continuous and consistent team work.
If any group of men should dare to
break the solidarity of the Democratic
team for any purpose or from any
motive, theirs will be a most unenvi
able notoriety and a responsibility
which will bring deep bitterness to
them. The only party that is service
able to a nation is a party that can
bold absolutely together and inarch
with the discipline and with the est
a conquering host.
Promises Good Results.
“I am not saying these things be
cause I doubt that the Democratic
party will be able to do these things,
but because I believe that as leader
for the tfme being of that party I am
promise the country that it will do
these things. . . .
After paying tribute to the two
Democratic senators from Indiana
and to his colleagues at Washington,
the president emphasized the neces
sity of team work, saying that was
what the people demanded, and add
ing: - -
“If a man will not play in the team,
then he does not belong on the
team.
"Now, what, Is their duty? You
say, ‘Hasn’t this congress carried out
a great program? Yes, it has car
ried out a great program. It has had
the most remarkable record that any
congress since' the Civil War has had.
. - . . But we are living at an extra
ordinary moment. The world has
never been in the condition that it is
in now, my friends. Only America
among the great powers, of the^tvorld
is free'to govern her own li^e; and
all the world is looking to America to
serve its economic need, and while
this is happening what is going on?
A Greet Emergency. «
“Do you know, gentlemen, that
the oeean freight rate# have gone up
in some tielancee to ten timae their
erdlnary figure? And that the farm
ers of the United Statee, thoee who
raise grain end thoee who raise eet-
of the great price# that they i
Ing to pay (fir these things
are will-
| tag to pay (fir these things on the
ether side of the see, because the
whole profit is eaten up by the extor
tionate charges for ocean carriage?
In the midst of this the Democrats
propose e temporary measure of re
lief In that shipping b!Jl.>
“The merchants and the farmers
of this country most here ships to
cayry their goods, and just a^ the
present moment there Is no other wr.y
of getting them than through the in
strumentality that is suggested in the
shipping bill; end I hear it said in
Washington on all hands that the Re
publicans in the, United States mean
to talk enough to make the passage
of that bill impossible.
“These self-styled friends of busi
ness, these men who say the Demo
cratic party does not know what to
do for business, are saying that the
Democrats shall do nothing for bus
iness. . . . Who commissioned them,
a minority, a lessening minority? For
they will be in a greater minority In
the next Senate than in this. You
know it is the peculiarity of that
great body that It has rules of pro
cedure which make It possible for a
minority to defy the nation. . . .
Their credentials as friends of busi
ness and friends of America will be
badly discredited if they succeed.
Wishes Them Well.
“If I were speaking from a self
ish, partisan position, I could v.-K>
nothing better than they could show
their time colors as partisans and suc
ceed. But I am not quite so malevo
lent as that. . . . But the great
voice of America ought to make them
understand what they are said to be
attempting now. . . '.
"The Democratic party knows how
to serve business in this country, and
its future program is a program of
service. We have cleared the decks.
We have laid the lines now upon
which business that was to do the
country harm shall be stopped and
an economic control whi h was in
tolerable shall be broken up. We
have emancipated America, but Amer
ica must do something with her free
dom.
"There are great.bills pending in
the United States Senate Just now~
that have been passed by the House
of Representatives, which are intend
ed as constructive measures in be
half of business—one great measure
which will make availcble the enor
mous water powers of this country
for the industry of it; another bill
which will unlock the resources of
the public domain which the Repub
licans desire to have locked up so
that nobody could use them
“The reason I say the Republicans
have not bad s new idea in 30 years
Is that they have not known how to
do anything except to sit on the lid.
Now, after you can release the stream
so that it will drive great industries,
it is not necessary to sit on the lid.
Whst we are trying to do In the greet
conservation bill Is to carry out for
the first time In the history of tha
United Statee a system by which the
great resources of this country can be
used . . .
Few Reel Patriots.
“Do not misunderstand me. There
are some men on that side of the
chamber who understand the value of
these things and are standing valiant
ly by them but they are a small
minority.
“But the majority that Is standing
by them Is on our side ef the cham
ber and they are the friends of Amer
ica. Hut there are other things which
we have to do. . . .
“Don’t you think it would be a
S retty good Idea for the Democratic
arty to undertake s systematic
method of helping the workingmen
of America? ... if you were sim
ply to establish s greet federal em
ployment bureau It would do s vast
deal; by the f&deral sgenclee which
spread over this country men could
be directed to those parts of the
country, to those undertakings, to
thpse tasks, where they could find
profitable employment. The labor of
this country needs to be guided from
opportunity to opportunity. We
proved it the other day.
“We are told that in two states of
the union 30,000 men were needed to
gather the crops. We suggested in a
cabinet meeting that the department
of labor should have printed Infor
mation about this In this form that
It would be posted urt’ to the post
offices all over the United States;
and that the department of labor
should get in touch with the labor
departments of states, so that notice
could go out from them. What was
the result? Those 30,000 were found
and sent to the places where they got
profitable employment. I do not know
any one thffig that has hanpened In
my administration that made me feel
happier than that. . . .
Must Speed Justice.
“I am not one of those who doubt
either the industry or the learning or
the integrity of the courts of the
United States, but I do know that
they have a very antiquated way of
doing business, . . . and say that
It Is an immediate and an imperative
call upon us to rectify It. because the
speediness of justice, the Inexpensive
ness of Justice, the ready recess of
justice, Is the greater part of Justice
Itself. If you have to be rich to get
justice because of the c.st of the very
process itself, then there is no justice
at all. . . .
“And then there is something (else.
The Democrats have heard the' Re
publicans talking about the scientific
way in which to hhndle a tariff,
though the Republicans have never
given any exhibition of a knowledge
of how to handle it scientifically. If
It Is scientific to put additional pro
fits Into the hands of those who are
already getting the greater part of
the profits, then they have been ex
ceedingly scientific. . . That kind
of science I do not care to know any
thing about except, enough to stop
It. But If by scientific treatment of
the tariff they mean adjustment to
the actual trade conditions of Ameri
ca and the world, then I am with
them; aad I want to call attention
. ... to the fact that the bill which
creates the new trade commission
does that very thing. . : .
The Red Deafcfcratam.
“That commission to authorised
to. Inquire Into and
not only upon all
the
• '
try. bat upon the conditions of trade,
the boat of maaafactqre, the cost of
transportation—ell the things that
enter Into the question of thsutarlff
—in foreign countries as well as in
the United States, and Into all those
questions of foreign combinations
which affect international trade be
tween Europe and the United States.
It has the full power which will
guide congress in the scientific treat
ment of questions of international
trade. Being by profession a school
master, I am glad to point that out
to the class of uninstnictcd Republi
cans, though I have not allrays
taught in the primary grade.
“At every turn the things that the
Progressive Republicans have pro
posed that were practicable, the Dem
ocrats either have done or are imme
diately proposing to do. . . . There
are things that the Progressive pro
gram contained which we, being con
stitutional lawyers, happened to know
can not be done by the congress of
the United States. That is a detail
which they seem to have overlooked.
But so far'as they can be done by
state legislation, I for one, speaking
for one Democrat, am heartily In fav
or of their being done. . . .
“Just before I came away from
Washington I was going over some of
the figures of the last elections, the
elections of November 'last. The of
ficial returns have not all come in yet.
. but so far as they have- come in they
have given me this -‘Useful informa-
‘ tion, . . that if it hod been a
presidential - year th6 Democrats
would have had a majority of about
80 in the electoral college.
The Big Meaning.
"Fortunately or unfortunately, this
is not a presidential year; but, the
thing is significant to me for this rea
son: A great many people have been
speaking of the Democratic party as
a minority party. Well, if it is, it is
not so much of a minority party as
the Republican, and as between the
minorities I think we can claim to
belong to the larger minority. The
moral of that Is . . . that neither
party in its regular membership has
a majority. 1 do not want to make
the independent voter too proud of
liUnself, but 1 have gat to admit that
he is our boss; and 1 am bound to
admit that the things that he wants
are, so far as 1 have seen them men
tioned. things that I want.
"I am not an Independent voter,
but I hope 1 can claim to be an inde
pendent person, and—I want to say
this distinctly—I do not love any
party any longer than It continues to
serve the Immediate pressing needs
of America. 1 have been bred in the
Democratic party, but I love America
a great deal more than I love the
Democratic party, and when the
Democratic party thinks that it Is an
end to Itself, then 1 rise np and dis
sent. It Is a means to an end, and
Us power depends, and ought to de
pend. upon its showing that it knows
what America needs, and if ready to
give it what it needs. That to the
reason I say to the tndependeet voter,
you have got us in th% palm of yonr
hand. 1 do not happen to be one of
yonr number, but 1 recognise your
supremacy; 1 reed the election re
turns and I have this ambition, my
Democratic friends—I can avow U on
Jackson day:
Wants Them AH.
"I want to make epery independ
ent voter In this county a Democrat.
It Is a little cold and lonely oat where
he to. because, though he holds the
balance of power, he la not the ma
jority, and 1 want him to come in
where It Is warm I want him to
come In where there is a lot of good
society, good citizenship, where there
are greet emotions. That Is what I
miss In the Republican party; they do
not seem to have any great emotions.
They seem to think s Tot of things,
old things, but they do not seem to
have any enthusiasm about anything.
“Now there Is one thing I have got
s great enthusiasm about, I might
almost say a reckless enthusiasm,
and that Is human liberty.. The gov
ernor has Just now spoken about
watchful waiting In Mexico. I want
to say a word about Mexico, or not so
much about Mexico as about our atti
tude toward^ Mexico. I hold it as a
fundamental principle and so do you,
that every people has the right to de
termine in its form of government;
and until this recently revolution In
Mexico, until the end of the Diaz
reign, 80 per cent, of the people in
Mexico never had a ‘look In’ In de
termining who should be their gov
ernors or what their government
should be.
For Submerged Eight-tenths.
"Now I am for the 80 per cent. It
is none of my business, and it is none
of your business how long they take
in determining it. It is none of my
business, and it is none of your’s how
they go about the business. The
country is theirs. The government
is theirs. The liberty, if they can get
it—and God speed them in getting it
—is theirs. And so far as my In
fluence goes while I am president, no
body shall interfere with them.
“That is what I mean by a great
emotion, the great emotion of sym
pathy. Do you suppose that the
American people are ever going to
count a small amount of material
benefit and advantage to people do
ing business in Mexico against the
liberties and the permanent happi
ness of the Mexican nation. Have not
European nations taken as long as
they wanted and spilt as much blood
as they pleased in settling their af
fairs and shall we deny that to Mex
ico because she is weak? No; I Say!
I am proud to belong to a strong na
tion that says: ‘This country, which
we could crush, shall have juSu as
much freedom in her own affairs as
we have.’ If I am strong, I am
ashamed to bully the weak. In pro
portion to my strength is my pride In-
withholding that strength from the
oppression of another people.
The American Spirit.
“And I know when I speak the
things (not merely from the generous
response with which they have Just
met from yon. but from my long time
knowledge of the American people)
that that to the esentlment of the
American people.'
“With all dee respect to editors ef

Woodrow sat back la his chair and

I did not think I knew. 1 would emi

come a time when the American peo
ple will have to judge whether I know
what I am talking about or not. But

Only Its Fears,
"I have been talking with business
men recently about the present state
of mind of American business. There
Is nothing the matter with American
business except a state of mind.
"I understand that your chamber
of commerce here in Indianapolis is
working now upon the motto: ‘If you
are going to buy it, buy It now.’
“That is a perfectly safe maxim to
act on. It is just as safe to buy it
now as ever will be, and if you start
the buying there will be no end to it,
and you will be a seller as well as a
buyer. I am just as sure of that as I
can be because I have taken connsel
with the men who know. . . I
have looked on and tried to see what
the interests of the country were In
business, and I have taken counsel
with men who did know and their
counsel is uniform and all that Is
needed ill America now Is to believe
In the future, and I can assure you as
one of those who speak for I he Demo
cratic party that it Is perfectly safe to
believe in the future. We are so
much the friends of business that we
were for a little time the enemies of
those who were trying to control bus
iness. 1 say for a little time, because
we are now reconciled to them They
have graciously admitted that we had
s right to do whst we did do. and
they have very handsomely said that
they were going to play the game
Red to be Hharp.
“I believe that sway behind Ameri
can baslness men were absolutely
sound nt heart, bat men immersed in
business do e lot of things that op
portunity offers to do which in other
circumstances they would not do. and
I have thought all along that all that
was necessary to do was to coll their
attention sharply to the kind of re
forms In business which were a seas
aery and that they would acquiesce
and I believe they have heartily ac
quiesced There Is all the mors rea
son therefore that, groat sad small,
we should be coefldaat In the future.
And what a futare It to, my friends’
"Look abroad upon the troubled
world! Only America at penes!
Among ell the greet power* of th*
world, only America saving her power
for her own people! Owiy America
using her greet character and her
great strength In the Intereet of peace
end of prosperity!
“Do yon now think it likely that
the world will some time turn to
America and say: *Yoa were right
and we were wrong. You kept your
heads when we lost our* You tried to
keep the scale from tipping mad we
threw the whole weight of arms In
one side of the scale. Now is your

your strength, may we not turn to

The Great Opportunity.
“Think of the deep wrought de
struction of economic resources, of
life and of hope that Is taking place
in some parts of the world and think
of the reservoir of hope, the reservoir
of energy, the reservoir of suste
nance, that there is in this great land
of plenty! Why we look forward to
the time when we shall be called
blessed among the nations, because
we succored the nations of the world
in their time of distress and of dis

“I for one pray God that that sol
emn hour may come, and I know the
solidity of character, and I know the
exaltation of hope; I know the high
principle with which the American
people wll respond to the call of the
world for this service, and I thank
God .that those who believe in Ameri
ca, who try to serve her people, are
