Bryan, Speaker Champ Clark and Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. The President and Mrs. t Wilson made their first appearance' on the spacious south veranda of the summer White House shortly after noon when both were vigorously cheered. Shortly afterward two special trains arrived from New York, bearing the members of the national committee | and the notification committee. They were cordially greeted by President j Wilson. j Scores of policemen and detectives j were on hand to maintain order among t the thousands who came from all parts of the country for the ceremonies. ' The luncheon given by the Presi- j den to the members of the national j and notification committees was an ; informal affair and aside from the t committeemen there were few invited j guests. "Hello, Boss," cried Secretary Mc- j Adoo upon sighting National Chair- I man Vance McCormick. "I'm glad to hear you say it," re- i plied the campaign manager. "Yes, I want to make it public right now that you are not the 'messenger j boy' at headquarters," Mr. McAdoo re torted. President Wilson formally accepted j his renomination here with an address ; recounting the legislative record of ] the Democratic party, a vigorous de fense of his Mexican policy, his deal- I ings with the European belligerents j and an outline of his view of Amer- I ica's obligations for the future. With the members of the jiotifica- ! tion committee headed by Senator j James grouped about him at Shadow 1 Lawn, the Summer White House, the President declared the Republican party was "just the party that can- i not meet the new conditions of a new j age," and that the day of Little Am- j ericanism when "methods of 'protec- j tion' and industrial nursing were the chief study of our provincial states men" was past and gone." "The future, the immediate future, will bring us squarely face to face I with many great and exacting prob- j lems which will search us through j and through whether we be able and ready to play the part in the world that we mean to play," he said. "It will ! not bring us into their presence slowly, gently, with ceremonious in troduction, but. suddenly and at once, the moment the war in Europe is over. They will be new problems, most of them; many will be old problems in a new setting and with new elements which we have never dealt with or j reckoned the force and meaning of I 'before. They will require for their, i solution new thinking, fresh courage' and resourcefulness, and in some 1 I matters radical reconsiderations of ; policy. We must be ready to mobil- [ | ize our resources alike of brains and of materials. It is not a future to be afraid of. It is, rather, a future to stimulate and excite us 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 j means of understanding it. "Look first at what li 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 c what is to follow and our own duty of prep aration. For we must be prepared both in resources and in policy. Just and Settled Peace "There must be a just and settled peace, and we here in America must contribute the full force of our en thusiasm and of our authority as a nation to the organization of that peace upon world-wide foundations that cannot easily be shaken. No na tion 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 any longer remain neutral as against any wilful disturbance of the peace of the world. The effects of war can no longer be confined to the areas of battle. No nation stands wholly apart in interest when the life and interests of all nations are thrown into confusion and peril. If hopeful and generous enterprise is to be re- newed, 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 tested in the court of the whole world's ] opinion before it is attempted. Must Prepare For Peace "Besides contributing our ungrudg ing moral and practical support to the 1 establishment of peace throughout the world we must actively and intelligent ly prepare ourselves to do our full service in the trade and industry which are to sustain and develop the life of the nations in the days to come. "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 conditions of law, a policy accommodated to the freest progress. We have set the jusl and necessary limits. We have put all kinds of unfair competition under the ban and penalty of the law. We have barred monopoly. These fatal and ugly things being excluded, we must now quicken action and facilitate en terprise by every just means within our choice. There will be peace in the business world, and, with peace, revived confidence and life. "We ought both to husband and to develop our natural resources, our mines, our forests, our water power. We must hearten and quicken the spirit and efficiency of labor through out our whole Industrial system by everywhere and in all occupations do ing justice to the laborer, not only by paying a living wage but also by mak ing all conditions that surround labor what they ought to be. And we must do more than justice. We must safe guard life and promote health and safety in every occupation in which they are threatened or imperilled. That is more than justice and better, because it is humanity and economy. Touches on Railroads "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 better 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 com plete. "Thus we stand ready to meet the future as circumstance and interna tional policy effect their unfolding, whether the changes come slowly or come fast and without preface. Must Play Leading Part "We can no longer indulge our traditional provincialism," said the i President. "We are to play a leading part in the world drama whether we i wish it or not. We shall lend, not (borrow; act for ourselves, not imitate [or follow; organize and initiate, not ! peep about merely to see where we j may get in." Speaking of his diplomatic negotia tions with the European belligerents the President followed a declaration | that while property rights might be vindicated by claims for damages, the loss of life and the fundamental rights of humanity never could be, with this | statement: j "The record is clear and consistent throughout and stands distinct and ! definite for anyone to judge who J wishes to know the truth about, it." ; Immediately afterward he said: "I am the candidate of a party, but J I am above all things else an Amer | ican citizen. I neither seek the favor | nor fear the displeasure of that small alien clement amongst us which puts loyaltv to any foreign power before loyaltv to the United States." Regarding his Mexican policy the President reiterated that the people of Mexico were struggling "blindly it may be and as yet ineffectually" to free themselves from alien interests '•'some of them Americans pressing for things they could never have got in their own country" and that he would do everything in his power to prevent i anyone standing in their way. "It is hard doctrne," said he, "only |for those who wish to get something i for themselves out of Mexico." At another point the Presdent said: "Mistakes I have no doubt made in ; this perplexing business but not in purpose or object." He declared at another point: Fortunes of Humanity "I am more interested in the for tunes of oppressed men and pitiful women and children than in any prop erty rights whatever." At the outset of his references to the legislative achievements of his party the President enumerated the laws placed on the statute books re lating to business including tariff re vision, anti-trust laws, revision of the banking and currency system, rural credits, rehabilitation of the merchant marine and creation of the Federal Trade Commission. "What other party has understood Ihe task so well or executed it so in telligently and energetically," he ask ed. "What other party has attempted |it at all? The Republican leaders j apparently know of no means of as ! sisting ousiness hut protection. How to stimulate it and put it upon a. new footing of energy and enterprise they have not suggested." At the conclusion of his review of the party record the President de clared: "This extraordinary recital must ! sound like a platform, a list of sanguine promises: but it is not. It jis a record of promises made four j years ago and now actually deemed jin constructive legislation." Then, i later he said: "We have in four years | come very near to carrying out the j platform of the Progressive Party as [well as our own; for we are also pro i gressives.'" ) The President's address was some j five thousand words long, one of the most lengthy he has delivered on any i occasion since taking office.
