SOME
EDITORIAL EXPRESSIONS ON
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
The New 1 oik Evening Post
will support Wilson. In the
course of its leading editorial on
tlie nomination the Post says
today:
"The political rise of Wood-
row Wilson is, iu one sense, the
most astonishing thing in
American political history.
Two years ago only known as a
writer and a college president,
never having held office, he is
T«jday the candidate of a great
party for the presidency of the
• United States. People are
calling this a miracle. But in
reality there never was a more
explicable phenomenon. T h e
law of cause and effect is plain
ly at work in it. To speak of
luck in such matters is only to
expose our ignorance. Theie
is, o f course, an element o f
chance in all great personal
successes, b u t chance has a
curious way of fastening itself
to the exceptional man.
Pastuer uttered the truth more
than tifty years ago, when he
said:
"Chance favors only the
mind which is prepared.*'
"He was speaking of observa-
tive science, but it is just as
true a f public life. When
Woodrow Wilson had his
chance in 1910, he brought to
it a prepared mind. He knew
politics, not as one who had
soiled his hands in its dirty
strifes, but as a man who had
deeply, reflocted upon the
philosophy of Government, had
sought to steady himself o n
convictions while others were
scrambling for the place, and
as one, withal, whose experien-
> e aud thought had given him
t o know human nature. As
Governor of New Jersey Mr.
Wilson did not have to get his
equipment as he went along.
He took i t with him to the
office. And a good part of it,
of course, was that courage
and swift initiative aud sure
sense for popular feelings which
enabled him within six months
to electrify and revolutionize a
State and make himself a
National figure. T o call a 1 1

Following is an extract from
the New York American edi-
torial:
"Woodrow Wilson, Governor
of New Jersey, is the nominee
for the National Democratic
convention for President of the
United States.
"The New York American
will support thq Democratic
nominee. The New York
American, as a progressive
Democratic newspaper, would
have supported any progressive
Democrat nominated at Balti-
more. The American has not
only been a progressive Demo-
cratic newspaper for the last
two decades, but it has been
a progressive Democratic news-
paper in advance of the Demo-
cratic party and it will continue
jto be a progressive newspaper
in advance of the party.
Whatever is progressive in
the nominee of this convention
and the platform of this con-
vention this newspaper will
endorse. For anything less
than progressive in the nominee
or in the platform the Ameri-
can will feel and express its re-
gret and will endeavor to
strengthen and amend the
weakness i n platform or in
a candidate as the campaign
progresses because the American
and its kindred newspapers are
convinced that the only true
Democracy is progressive
Democracy.
"The American does not
hesitate to say, and has already
earnestly saw*, that there are
many things at the Baltimore
convention far from progressive
land far from democracy.

editorially:
"In the nomination of Wood-
row Wilson the Democratic
paity regains its ancient slate
of worth, of dignity, of power.
It escapes the thraldom ol little a()(j deputy sheriff Dug Harmon
of Klmore. There was passed
men and ignoble leaders. It
takes as its chief a man of that
statesman-like quality which
befits the president's office.
"T h e nomination of Gov.
Wilson will unite the party.
There is not a Democrat who
can find sufficient reason for
withholding his vote from such
a candidate. Search for the
taints and blemishes, the im-
prints of subserviency to the
selfish and the predatory, of
which we have heard so much,
and you will not find one of
them upon Gov. Wilson. He
does not owe his nomination to
about $100 of counterfeit money
in $5 bills, passed on various
peisons at the Wynnewood pic-
nic Joly 4th, the parties who
passed the money were not
identified at the time. The next
day and night about $100 of the
same kind of money in $5 bills
was passed on various persons
in Ardmore, and the officers
were informed about the mat-
ter and Buck Garret soon run
the matter down, and it is re-
ported that Gage and Welcher

"By the nomination of Gov. j
Woodrow Wilson the Demo-j
cratic party has placed at the
head of its ticket its most;
promising leader and its strong-

'SGov. Wilson represents the

in Baltimore, though it failed
at Chicago.
