' '■u. m - 1*1- S-+1 at * BUS BEEN NOTIFIED PRESIDENT WILSON SOUNDS CAXPAMN KEYNOTE CHEERED BY LARGE CROWD Striking Straight From Shoulder la Acceptance Speech, Wilson Char acterizes Republican Party as One of Masterly Inactivity and Resist. anoe to Progress. President Wilson Saturday formal ly opened his campaign for re-elec tion at Long Branch, N. J., with a speech accepting the Democratic nomination in which he characteriz ed the Republican party as a "practi cal and moral failure," defended his American and European policies, re cited the legislative achievements of his administration and declared for "a big America.” . ,i r In his speech President Wilson was unsparing in his criticism of the Republican party as a party of “mas terly inactivity and cunning re sourcefulness in standing pat to re sist change," and said that old lead ers still select tholr candidate, but he did not mention Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, by name. The president spoke from the v^eranda of his summer home to a crowd which Ailed eight thousand chairs and overflow jd to the Uwn. Speaking in the open his voice could be heard by only a small part of the crowd, but those who did hear him constantly interrupted with ap plause. When he said, "I neither seek the favor nor fear the displeasure of that small alien element amongst us which puts loyalty lo eey-fupelgn country throughout the long period of its control to stagger from one Jlnaadal crisis to another under the "operation of a national banking law ol: Its own framing which made strin gency and panic certain and the con trol of the larger buslnesa operations of the country by the bankers of a few reeerve centres Inevitable; had made as if it meant to reform the Taw but had faitheartedly failed In the attempt, because It could not bring Itself to do the one thing necessary to make the reform genu ine and effectual, namely, break up the control of small groups of bank ers. It had been oblivious, or indif ferent, to the fact that the farmers, upon whom the country depends for Its food and In the last analysis for its prosperity, were without stand ing In the matter of commercial credit, without the ^ protection of standards in their market transac tions, and without systematic knowl edge of the markets themselves; that the laborers of the country, the great army of men who man the industries it was professing to father and pro mote, carried their labor as a mere commodity to market, were subject to restraint by novel and drastic pro cess In the courts, were without as surance of compensation -for indus sistance in accommodating labor dis- llty trial accidents, without federal as- putes, and without national aid or anvice in Anding the places and the industries in which their labor was most needed. The country had no national system of road construc tion and development. Little intel ligent attention was paid to the army, and not enough to the navy. The other republics of America dis trusted us. because they found that we thought Arst of the proAts of American investors and only as an after-thought of impartial Juntice and helpful friendship. Its policy was provincial in all things; Its pur poses were out of harmony with the temper and purpose of the people and the timely development of the nation’s Interest. How It Has Changed. So things stood when tire Demo cratic party came Into power. How do they stand now? Alike In the do- ed The notlAcatlon ceremonies were brought to a dramatic close vhen more than a score of American flags attached to parachutes were Ared into the air by mortars and unfold ed over the president’s^ head as a band played ‘‘America.’’* Afterward Mr. Wilson stood more than an hour on the veraada and shook hands wttn several thousand men, women and children. The president said: Senator James. Oentlemen of the Notification Committee, Fellow Citl- sene: I cannot accept the leadership •ad responsibility which the nstlonal Democratic convention has again. In auch gsnerous fashion, naked me to accept without first expressing my profound gratitude to the party for the trust It reposes in me efter four years of fiery trial In the midst of affairs of unprecedented difficulty, and the keen sense of added respon sibility with which this honor fllla (I had almost said burdens) me as I think of the great Issues of national life and policy Involved In the pres ent and immediate future conduct of our government. I shall seek, as I have always sought, to justify the ex traordinary confidence thus reposed in me by striving to purge my heart 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 1 may continue to have the counsel and support of all for ward-looking men at every turn of the difficult business. For J do not do ibt that the people of the United States will wish the trol 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 are they likely to sub stitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved fklse to that promise for those who have actually rendered those very services. Boasting Is always an empty busi ness, which pleases nobody but the boaster, and I have no disposition to boast of what the Democratic party has accomplished. It has merely ful filled Its explicit promises. Bftt there can be no violation of good taste In calling attention to the manner in which those promises have been car ried out or in adverting to the in teresting fact that many of the things accomplished were what the opposi tion party had again and again promised to do but had left undone. Indeed that is manifestly part of the business of this year of reckoning and assessment. There is no means of Judging the past. Constructive action must be weighed againot de structive comment and reaction. The Democrats either have or have not understood the varied interests of the country. The test is contained in the record. What Did They Do? What is that record? What were the Democrats called into power to ; do? What things had long waited • to be done, and how did the Demo crats do4hem? It is a record of ex traordinary length and variety, rich in elements of many kinds, but con sistent in principle throughout and susceptible of brief recital. The Republican party was put out of power because of failure, practi cal failure and moral failure; be^ cause H had served special Interests and not the country at large; be cause, under the leadership of its preferred and established guides, of thoae who still make its choices, it had lost touch with the thoughts and the needs of the nation and was liv ing in a past age and under a fixed illusion, the Illusion of greatness. It Jlad framed tariff laws, based uppn =*e»r of foreign tr doubt as to American, skill, enter prise and capacity, and a very ten der reesrd for tb* profitable privi- Inges of thoee who had gained control of domestic markets and domestic id yet had enacted aatl- the commerce o can business and life and industry have been set free to move as they never moved before. The tariff has been revised, not on the principle of repelling foreign trade, but upon the principle of en couraging It, upon something like a footing of equality with our Own In respect of the terms of competition, and a tariff board has been created whose function It will be to keep the relations ol American with foreign business and industry under constant observation, for the guidance alike of our business men and of our con gress American energies are now directed towards the markets of the world. The laws against trusts have been clarified by definition, with a view to making It plain that they were not directed against big buslnea* but only against unfair buslnesa 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 un founded feara and set them upon the road of hopeful and confident enter prise. By the federal reserve act the sup ply of currency at the disposal of active business has been rendered elastic, taking Its volume, not from a fixed body of investment securities, but from the liquid assets of daily trade; and theeo assets are assessed and accepted, not by distant groups of bankers In control of unavailable reserves, but by bankers at the many centres of local exchange who are in touch with local conditions every where. labor at the dUposal of the working man when in March of work. We have effected the emancipa tion of the children of the country by releMing them from hurtful labor. We have Instituted a system of na tional aid in the building of high road! such jgs the country.has been feeltng.after for a century. We have sought to equalise taxation by means of an equitable income tax. We have taken the steps that ought to have been takjgQ at the outset to open up the resources of, Alaska. We have provided for national defense upon a scale never before seriously proposed upon the responsibility of an entire political party. We have driven the tariff lobby from cover eftd obliged it' to substitute solid argument for private influence. This extraordinary recital ihust sound like a platform, a list of sai gulne promises; but it is not. It i£ a record of promises made four years ago and now actually redeemed in constructive legislation. These things must profoundly dis turb the thoughts and confound the plans of those who have made them selves believe that the Democratic party neither understood nor was ready to assist the business of the country in the great enterprises which it is its evident and inevitable destiny to undertake and carry through. Tiie breaking up of the lobby must especially disconcert them; for it was through the lobby that they sought and were sure they had found the heart of things. The game of privilege can be placed suc cessfully by no other means. Are Progressive** Too. This record must equally estonish those who feared that the Demo cratic party had not opened its heart to comprehend the demands of social Justice. Wp have in four years come very near to carrying out the platform of the Progressive party as well as our own; for we also are pro gressives. There is one circumstance onr nected with this program whi« fc ought to be very plainly stated. It was resisted at every step by .the In terests which the Republican party had catered to and fostered at the f I hi niimifjhi iBil iilHtJi disloyalty into our own most crlti-*| America looks on.

It is part of the business of this year of reckoning and settlement to speak plainly and act with unmis takable purpose In rebuke of these things, in order that they may be forever hereafter impossible. I am the candidate of a party, but I am, above all things else an American citizen, I.neither seek the favor nor fear the displeasure of that small alien element amongst us which puts loyalty to any foreign power before loyalty to the United States. Justice to Mexico. While^fiurope was at war our own continent one of our own neighbors, was shaken by revolution. In that matter, too, principle was plain an(L politics of the world. The republics was imperative that we should live ujKto It If we were to deserve the trust of any real partisan of the Tight as free men see it. We have professed to believe, and we do be lieve, that the people of small and weak states have the right to expect to be dealt with exactly as the peo ple of big and powerful states would be, We have acted upon that prin ciple in dealing wifh^ the people of Mexico. \ , Our recent pursuit of bandits into Mexican territory was no violation of that principle. We ventured to en ter Mexican territory only because there were no military forces’ in Mexico that could protect bur border from hostile attack and our own peo ple from violence, and we have com mitted there no single act of hostil ity or interference even with the sov ereign authority of the republic of Mexico herself. It was a plain case of the violation of our own sover eignty which could not wait to be weaker neighbors. We have under taken these many years to play big brother to the republics of this hemisphere. This Is the day ol our test whether we mean,.or Rave ever meant, to pfay that pan for our own benefit wholly or also for theirs. Upon the outcome of that test (Its outcome In their minds, not in ours), depends every relationship of the United States with Latin-AmeHca, whether'in politics or in commerce and enterprise. These are great is sues and lie at the heart of the grav est tasks of the future, tasks both economic and political and very in timately inwrought with many of the most vital of the new issues of the merely to see whefe we majr get in. We have already formulated and agreed upon a policy of law which will explicitly remove the ban now supposed to rest upon co-operation amongst our exporters in seeking and securing their proper place in the markets of the world. The fiekli will be free, the instrumentalities atT hand. It will only remain for the masters of (enterprise amongst us to' act in energetic concert, and for the government of the United States to insist upon the maintenance through out the world of those coditlons of fairness and of even handed justice In : the commercial dealings of the nations with one another upon which, after all, in the last analysis, the peace and ordered life of the world must ultimately depend. Ban Evil; Help Good. of America have in the last three years been drawing together In a new spirit of accommodation, mutual understanding and cordial co-opera tion. Much of the politics of the world in the ^eai s to come, will de pend upon their relationships with one another. It is a barren and pro vincial statesmanship that loses sight of such things! Will Meet New Problems. The future, the immediate future, will bring us squarely face to face with many great and exacting prob lems which will search us through and through whether we be able and ready to play the : part in the world that we mean to play. It will not bring us into their presefice sowly gently, with ceremonious introduc tion, but suddenly and at once, the moment the war in Europe is over. They will he new problems, most of them; many will be old problems In a new setting and wi,h new elements kich We have never dealt with or At home also we must see to it that the men who plan and develop and direct our business enterprises shall enjoy definite and settled con ditions of law, a policy accommodat ed to the freest progress. We have set the Just and necessary limits. We have put all kinds of unfair compe tition under the ban and penalty of the law. We have barred monopoly. These, fatal and ugly things being excluded, we muowstn ? AT !M * excluded, we must now quicken ac tion and facilitate enterprise by every just means within our choice.

But while the "big men” who used to write the tariffs and command the assistance of the treasury have been hostile—all but a few with vision— the average business man knows that he has been delivered, and that the fear that was once every day in his heart, that the men who controlled credit and directed enterprise from the committee rooms of congress would crash him. Is there no more, and will not return—unless the party that consulted only the "big men" should return to power—the party of masterly inactivity and cunning re sourcefulness in' standing pat to re sist change.' The Republican party is Just the party that cannot meet the new con ditions of a new age. It does not know the way and it does not wish new conditions. It tried to break away from the old leaders and could not. They still^elect its candidates and dictate Its policy, still resist change/still hanker after the old conditions, still know no methods of authorities of Mexico were powerless to prevent ft. Many serious wrongs^ against thej property, many irreparable wrongs against the persons, of Americans have been committed within the ter ritory of Mexico herself during this before. They will require for their solution new thinking, fresh courage and resourcefulness, and in some matters radical reccnslderatiohs *bf policy. We must be read^ to mobi lize our resources alike of brains and of materials. oL m long as there was no constituted power in Mexico which was in a position to check them. We could not' directly In that matter ourselves without denying Mexicans the right to any revolution at all which dis turbed us and making the emanci pation of her own people awaif our own Interest and convenience. Fo rlt Is their emancipation that they are seeking—blindly, but with profound and passionate purpose and within their unquestionable right, apply what true American principle you will—any principle that an American would publicly avow. The people of Mexico have not been suf fered to own their own country or direct their own institutions. Out siders, men out of other nations and with interests too ofen alien to their own. have dictated what their privi leges and opportunities should be and who should control their land, their lives and resources—some of them Americans, pressing for things they could never have got in their own country. The Mexican people are entitled to attempt their liberty from such influences; and so long as I have anything to do with the action of our great government, I shall do everything In my power to prevent any one standing in their way. 1 know that this is hard for some per sona to understand, but It is not hard for the plain people of the United States to understand. It Is hard doctrine only for those who wish to get something for themselves out of Mexico. There are men. and noble women, too, not a few, of our own people, thank God! whose for tunes are invested in great proper- 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; and l call once more, with the deepest earnestness and solicitude, upon the advocates of a careful and provident conservation, on the one* hand, and the advocates of a free and inviting field for pri vate capital, on the other, to get to gether iu a spirit of genuine accom-' modation and agreemen and set ttyfe policy lorward at once. TVe must hearten and quicken the spirit and efficiency of labor throughout oyr whole industrial sys- ■ hv ; ,l: i* and excite use to the display of the best powers that are in us. We may enter it with confidence when we are sure that we understand it—and we have provided ourselves already with the means of understanding it. Look first at what It will be neces sary that the nations of the world should do to make the days to come tolerable and fit to live and work in; and then look at our part in what is to follow and our ^wn duty of pre paration. For we must be prepared both in resources and In policy. There must be a Just and settled peace, .and we here iu America must contribute the full force of our en thusiasm and of our authority aa a nation upon world-wide foundations that cannot easily be shaken. No nation should be forced to take sides In any quarrel in which its own honor and Integrity and the fortunes of its own people are not Involved; but no nation can ay longer remain neutral as against any wilful dis turbance of the peace of the world. The effects of war can no longer be confined to the area^ of battle. Na nation stands wholly apart In inter est when the life and Interests of all nations are thrown into conflusion and peril. It hopeful and generous enterprise is to be renewed, if the healing and helpful arts of life are indeed to be revived when peace comes again, a new atmosphere of justice and friendship must be gen erated by means the world has never tried before. The nations of the world must unite in Joint guarantees that whatever is done to disturb the whole world's life must first be test ed in the court of the whole world's taken for the recreation of an Ameri can merchant marine and the revival of the American carrying trade In dispensable to our emancipation from the control which foreigners have so long exercised over the op portunitles. the routes and the meth ods of our commerce with other countries. The Interstate commerce commis sion is about to be reorganized to enable It to perform ’ its great and important functions more promptly and more efficiently. We have cre ated, extended and Improved the ser vice of the parcel post. So much we have done for busi ness. What other party has under- stbod the task so well or executed Tt so intelligently and energetically? What other party has attempted it at all? The Republican leaders, ap parently, know of no means of assist ing business but ^‘protection.” How to stimulate it and put it upon a new footing of energy and enterprise they have not suggested. . For the Farmers. For the farmers of the country we h|ve virtually created commercial credit, by means of the federal re serve act and the rural credits act. They now have the standing of other business men in the money market. We Ijave successfully regulated spec ulation in "futures" and 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 marketing and as a security for loans from the banks. We have greatly added to the„ work of neighborhood demonstration on the farm itself of improved methods of cultivation, and, through the in telligent extension of the functions of the department of agriculture, have made it possible for the farmer to learn systematically where his best markets are and how to get at them. The workingmen of America hayn been given a veritable emancipation, by the legal recognition of a man’s 1*b«r as "sn pf his life, and not a mere marketable commodity; by ex- mpUng Uber organizations fro raging business but the ties in Mexico who y*tt see the ca;:e opinion bs/9I§ 11 , ls ettempted. methods. When It changes Its lead era and its purposes and brings Its id^iH up 'to date It will have the right to ask the American people to give it power again; but not until then. A new age, an age of revolu tionary change, needs new purposes and new Ideas. In foreign affairs we have been guided by principles clearly conceiv ed and consistently lived up to. Per haps they have not been fully com prehended because they have hither to governed international affairs only in theory, ndt in practice. They are simple, obvious, easily stated, and fundamental to American ideals. A I>uty in Neutrality, ^ We have been neutral not only be cause it was the fixed and traditional policy of the United States to stand aloof from the politics of Europe and because we had- had no part either of action or of policy in the In fluences which brought on tho pres ent war, but also because it was man ifestly our duty to prevent, If it were possible, the indefinite extension of the fires of hate and desolation kin dled by that terrible conflict and seek to serve mankind by reserving our strength and our resources for the anxious" and difficult days of res toration and healing which must fol low, when peace will have to build its house anew. The rights of our own citizens of course became Involved; that was inevitable. Where they did this was our guiding principle; that property rights can be vindicated by claims for damages and no modern nation can decline to arbitrate such claim*; but the fundamental‘rights of hu manity cannot be. The loss of life Is irreparable; Neither can direct, vio lations of js nation’s sovereignty await vindication that violates these essential rights must expect to be checked anti called to account by direct* challenge and reslstanco. It at once makes the quarrel In part .our own. These fcre plain principles ed their members like fractional parts of moba and not like aeceeslble and responsible Individuals, by re leasing our teamen from Involuntary servitude: by making adequate pro vision for rotr. panaetion for Indue- triai sect den Is. by and we have never lost sjght of them or departed from them, whatever the atreus or the perplexity of circum- atance or the provocation to hasty reMntment. The record is clear and MWrstent Uh with true vision and assess its issues with true American feeling. The ret can be felt for the present out of the reckoning until this enslaved people has had Us day of struggle towards the light. I have heard no one who was free from such influ ences propose interference by the United States with the Internal af fairs of Mexico. Certainly no friend of the Mexican people has proposed It. A Spirit of Pity. The people of the United States are capable of great sympathies and a noble pity In dealing with prob lems of this kind. As their spokes man and representative, I have tried to act in the spirit they would wish me show. The spirit of Mexico are striving for the rights that are fun damental to life arid happiness—flf-j teen thousand oppressed men, over-' burdened women and pitiful children in virtual bondage in tehir own home of fertile lands and inexhausti ble treasure! Some of the leaders of the revolution may often have been mistaken and violent and self ish, but the revolution itself was in evitable and Is right.^ The unspeak able Huerta betrayed the very com rades he served, Jraitoriously over threw the government of which he was a trusted part, Impudently spoke for the very forces that had driven his people to the rebellion with which he had pretended to sympa thize. The men who overcame him and drove him out represent at least the fierce passion of reconstruction which lies at the very heart of lib erty; and so long as they represent, however Imperfectly, such a struggle for deliverance, I am ready to serve their ends when I can. So long as the power of recognition rests wrtlh me the government of -the United States wilt refuse to extend the hand of welcome to any one who obtains power In a sister republic by treach ery and violence. No permanency can be given the affairs of any re public by a HlTe based riphnUritriRfle' and assassination. I declared thwt to be the policy of this administra tion within three weeks after I as sumed the presidency. I here again Foundations of Peace. These are tips new foundations the world must'.huild for itself, and we must play our part In the rdconDtruc- tion, generously and without too much thought of our separate Inter ests. -We must make ourselves ready to play it Intelligently, vigorously and well. i One of the contributions we must make to the world s peace 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 things everywhere—the same justice, the same consideration for the essential rights of men. Besides cqntributing our ungrudg ing moral and practical support to the establishment of peace through out the worrd we must actively and intelligently prepare ourselves to do our full service in the trade and in dustry which are to sustain and de- veop 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 cre ated, in the federal trade commis sion, a means of Injuiry and of ac commodation in the field of com merce which ought both to co-ordi nate the enterprises of our traders and manufacturers and to remove the barriers of misunderstanding and of a too technical interpretation of the law. In the new tariff commis sion we have added another instru mentality of observation and adjust ment which promises to >e immedi ately serviceable. The trade cam- mission substitutes counsel and ac commodation for the harsher pro cesses of legal restraint and the tar iff commission ought to substitute facts for prejudices and theories. Our exporters jiave for some time had the advantage of working in the new light thrown upon foreign markets affd opportunities of trade by the in telligent inquiries and activities of thV bureau of foreign and domestic commerce which the Democratic con gress so wisely created in 1912. The imimnyrwmin 'Tuhwm'W uib igtnyipr:' not only by paying a living wage but also by making all the conditions* that slrround labor what they ought to be. And we must do more than Justice. We must safeguard life and promote health and safety In every occupation in which they are threat ened or Imperilled. That is more than justice, and better, because tt is humanity and economy. We must co-ordinate the railway systems of the country for national use, and must facilitate and promote their development with a view to that co-ordination and to their bet ter adaptation as a whole to the life and trade and defense of the nation. The life and industry of the country can be free and unhampered only If these arteries are open, efficient, and cpmp)ete. • Thus shall we stand ready to meet the future as circumstance and in ternational policy effect their unfold ing, whether the changes come slow ly or come fast and without preface. I have not spoken explicitly, gen tlemen. of the platform adopted at St. Ix>uis; but it has been implicit in all that I have said. I have sought to interpret its spirit and meaning. The people of the United States.do not need to be assured now that that platform is a definite pledge, a prac tical program. We have proved to them that our promises are made to be kept. We hold very definite ideals. We believe that the energy and initia tive of our people have ben too nar rowly coachd and superintended; that they ‘should be set free, as we have set them free, to disperse them selves throughout the nation; that they .should., not be concentrated la the bands of h few powerful'guides and guardians, as our opponents have again and again, in effect if not in purpose, sought to concentrate them. We believe, moreover—who that looks about him now with com prehending eye can fail to believe? —that the day of Littlq American ism, with its narrow horizons, when methods of “protection" and indus trial nursing were the chief study of our provincial statesmen, are past and gone and that a day of enter prise has at last dawned for the United States whose field is the wide world. We hope to see the stimulus* of that new day draw all America, the republics of both continents, on to a new life and energy and initiative in the greajt affairs of peace. We are Americans for Big America, and re joice to look forward to the days in which America shall strive to stir the world without irritating it or drawing It on to new antagonisms, when the nations with which we deal shall at last come jto see upon what deep foundations of humanity and justice our passion for peace rests, and when all mankind shall look upon our great people with a new sentiment of admiration, friendly rivalry and real affection, as upon a people who, though keen to succeed, seeks always to be at once generous and just and to whom humanity is dearer than profit or selfish power. Upon thi srecqrd and in the faith of this purpose we $o to the country. > 12,000 TROOPS 00 SOUTH Ohio, Vermont and Kentucky Sol diers Start for Border. tinet and definite for any one to judge who wlebee to know the truth •boot it The teaa were not broad enough to I keep the Infection of the conflict out of our own politics.
