He is the country's exponent of PURE DEMOCRACY President Wilson guided the Ship of State by some of the most treacherous war shoals of years, jn the face of mucli adverse criticism. Now that the whole of Europe is plunged in war, the people here more fully appreciate the prosperous and peaceful conditions existing in the United States. To Woodrow Wilson, the man who is ultimately capable of guid ing the affairs of the Nation, both at home and abroad, must be given the credit. If his re-election were pending this fall, he would receive the greatest majority ever cast for a presidential candidate. It is up to the people, however, to give his administration their endorsement in state, district and county elections.
