AUG. 16, 1912 Help the Wilson Campaign Fund. The Journal hereby starts a subserip tio.i list for the Wilson campaign fund, giving five dollars for that purpose. It will welcome additional subscriptions, small or largo, from any cne who de sires lo tee Governor Wilson President. Don't be led into making a small subscription because ti e Journal's eub scription is so sn all, I ut give as we have done according to your meai b and consistent with your other obligations. The vast majority tf people hete aboui's honestly believe that the bestin terests of the people demand Dr. Wil son's election. That being so, they ought to le pisctical and do semethinf! Which toetht r with what may br dot e in all other parts of the country is cal culated to tesult in his election. It is atsolutely necessary that he J have a campaign fund. The legitimate purposes of a national campaign re quire an enormous aum of money. The very rich men, as a rule, ure against Wihon. So it is up to the rani and file to see that he has a campaign fund Every body can help some. If we have any political p inciples, let us show it in the good old approved wa of sroine down in our j ans. Any amount, from a quarter up, will be re ceived aid forwarded to the proper au thorities. But don't give a quarter if you can give fifty dollars, Lack of Backbone His Undoing "Taft, a good man g( na wrong" 1 the way Sei ator Stone, of Missouri, puts i. It isn't a new charactei z i tion by any means, tut we bmpect it would be hard to find a b -tter one. If Tait bad been under the right sort of influence he would have been a din erenttypeof president. Even then he would have been far less to be ndmired than a man who is really possessed ol backbone. The man with the courage of his Cull victions is the man who commac ds the reaoectot the tut.lic.

The reco d of science is one of constantly achiev ing the unusual and unbelievable and there is no hypol hesis upon which ' it would be reasonable to conclude th.t it will meet permanent defeat in l-s grapple with cancer, No one who has seen a human being slowly and remorcclejsly forced into the grave by this fearful dis a e can do otherwise than devou ty pray that the serum found by the Paris pi ysicihn will piove tj b: the long sough: ca cer cure, The Wool Tariff. T);e House on Tuesday passed tie wool tariff revision till over the veto of the President. Dem icratic snd Pro gressive Senators are quoted as saying that they .don't believe enough votes can be mustered in the Senateto dupli cate in that body the action of the House. It usually works out that way Be the House ever so ready to give leg islation calculated to help the consumer or rather to protect him from (he rapac iiy of "infant Industries," the Senate can be depended on to get in the way of actual accomplishment. But even that conservative body is waking up and if suba'antial tariff revision is not se cured at this session, it will be at the next. To Our Subscribers. The Journal has undertaken to raise a fund to aid in conducting the cam paign for tha election of Woodrow Wil son to the Presidency. It his sub scribed five dollars, Attorney T. D.

"Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance Is admirable. It Is original In its treatment of the Issues of the campaign. I am sure the address will imprest the country favorably." JOHN W. KERN, SENATOR, INDIANA: "Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance Is a master-piece, setting forth with great clear ness his conception of the work to be accomplished by " the Democratic party under his leadership. It is in complete harmony with the progressiva sentiment of the country, but also appeals strongly to every; legitimate business interest" GOV. WILLIAM H. MANN, OF VIRGINIA: "I think it was an admirable speech. It was wise, conserva tive, comprehensive, prophetic not only of Democratic success but of Democratic supremacy, for years to come." GOV. FREDERICK W. PLAI3 TED, OF MAINE: "It Is a splendid presentation of the issues for the American people. It rings true in every sentence and in every Word. It represents the spirit of tho Democracy of today. It is the address of a statesman." GOV. EUGENE FOBS, MASSA CHUSETTS: "It was an admirable presen tation of the real issues upon which the campaign will be fought this falL I think that it is bound to strengthen Governor Wilson among the thinking peo ple of the country." - GOV. GEO. W. QONAGHEY, ARKANSA8: "It was a great speech. It will ring through the country. It is Just what he should have said. The people have never felt more confident of success since the first nomination of Qrover Cleveland." JUDGE MARTIN J. WADE, IOWA: "For the first time since ths state was admitted to the Un ion, Iowa will this year give its electoral vote to the Democratic nominee for President" - THOMAS MOTT 08BORNE, . AUBURN, N.

Coleman da Pont.of Wilmington, Del., the block known as 120 Brosdwsy.the site of the society's old home, which wss destroy ed by Cie last winter. The purchasers NEW YORK "SUN": "Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance has good luck as well as merit It comes just In time to contrast sharply with the in terminable Bedlamite rant of Th. Dentatus Africanus Ferox. And, If without ' contempt of campus it may be said, though written by a college president Tory recently retired, it is In the English language, not anaemlo and seldom with suspicion of prlgglshness or donnishness, though it has an air, a certain academic distinction of Its own. What will please everybody who has a living to make is Governor Wilson's equable and moderate tone. Governor Wilson is for repair, not for destruction." NEW YORK "TIMES"! "It is applicable. The domi nant thought the very soul of his discourse, is the common in terest of all the people, their partnership in our activities and our prosperity. The partnership idea cornea from his mind, not as a sublimated political theory, but as a practical, Immediate remedy." NEW YORK "WORLD"! "Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance Is the ablest clear est sanest statement of high public purpose this country has known in a generation. "Without passion, without In vective, without abuse, without . partisan bitterness, without de nunciation, '"without egotism, without demagogy, he has driv en straight to the heart of the supreme issue of American in stitutions the partnership be tween Government and Prir lege." 5: : ' JOHN E. LAMB, EX-REPRE SENTATIVE FROM INDIANA? "Speech is discreet able, safa and sane. Governor Wilson be lieves In tho efficacy of the scal pel rather than the big stick.

It wss of marble and waj one of tbe world's most famous LuiiJ j COOOOOOOOOT' JOHN A. DIX, GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. "Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance Is marked with broad vision and clear thought, expressed In language every American can understand. As a business man and manufacturer, I am especially pleased with his positive and statesman-like posi tion on the paramount Issue of tariff reform, and his demand for an immediate downward re vision. - In sincerity, precise Statement and comprehensive grasp of great principles and their application of the funda mental needs of the country, the speech Is Jeffersonfan to tho core. It contains no appeal to passion and excites no prejudice. Governor Wilson has presented to his party and to the nation, clear conception of the truth that the real struggle in the pending campaign is between the concentrated powers of priv ilege and the aspiration of the American people to realize, in their government and their eco nomic, industrial and social re , lations, the full measures of the principles of freedom, Justice and progress upon which the re public was founded. To all the issues and every national need, Governor Wilson applies the Rule of right and common ad-' vantage.' The reforms he advo cates are far reaching, but they are necessary, sound and prac tical. The "speech will awaken and stir the national conscience and lead to a triumph that will restore to the people the control of their government and inaugu rate a new and happier epoch in the life anddevelopment of the republic." HOKE SMITH, SENATOR . FROM GEORGIA: ,1 am delighted with Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance. It Is a superb statement of the present purpose of the Democra cy and points the way for, jus tice to all through real progress by law, under the Constitution. tWlth his election assured, It should give confldenco to honest business and new courage to those who need a square .deal"; (&X000QO000O0OCCXX)OOO? D0OCXXXXXXXXXXXXOCC)0OO0O JOHN F. FITZGERALD, MAY- OR OF BOSTON: : "Governor Wilson's ' accept ance Is characteristic of the man. He lays his soul bars to tho people and asks them to Join with him, irrespective of party, in righting present wrongs without undue clamor or Injury to . legitimate interests. He lays emphasis on construc tive thinking and I believe this epitomises one of the nation's greatest needs at the present time. It will bo President Wil son overwhelmingly in Novem ber." ire-s.
