LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 2.—The -full text of President Wilson's address accepting jhis renomination for the presidency is as follows:

Senator James, Gentlemen of the Notification Committee, Fellow Citizens: I cannot accept the leadership and responsibility which the national democratic convention has again, in such grenercus fashion, asked me to accept without first expressing my profound gratitude to the party for the trust it reposes in me after four years of fiery trial in the midst of affairs of unprecedented difficulty, and the keen sense of added responsibility with which this honor fills (I had almost said burdens) me as I think of the great issues of national l)fe. and policy involved in the present and immediate future conduct of our government. I shall seek, as I have always sought, to justify the extraordinary confidence thus reposed in me by striving to purge my heart and purpose of every personal and of everv misleading party motive and devoting every energy I have to the service of the nation as a whole, praying thatr I •may continue to have the counsel and .support of all forward-looking men at every turn of the difficult business.

For I do not doubt that the people of the United States will wish the demoiCratio. party to continue in control of V i£he government-. They are not in the 'ihabit of rejecting those who have acjtually served them for those who are %. making doubtful and conjectural promr*

lt,

Least of all are they

^likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and A proved false to that promise for those whoi have actually rendered those very services.

I Boastina: is always an empty »iisi,Tiess, whirh pleases nobody but the jjboaster, and I have no disposition to ^boast of what the democratic party has ^accomplished. It has merely done its M:~)!*»utj. It has merely fulfilled its exll

Promises. But there can be no B°°d taste in calling at-

fa£s*' ajention to the manner, in which those Af jpromiees have been carried out or in "w IW^srting to the interesting fact that of the things accomplished were i? ^What the.opposition party had again and

I«#aln Promised to do but had Jeft unvifccLone. Indeed that is manifestly part the business of this year of reckonand assessment. There is no means pt judging the future except by assesswg the past. Constructive action must weighed against destructive coman* reaction. The democrats pgjther have or have not understood the jfMaried Interest of the country. The test is contained in the record.

WILSON SHOWS RECORD OF PROMISES Dl ACCEPTING RE-NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENCY

its own framing which made stringency and panic certain and the control of .the larger business operations of the country by the bankers of a few reserve centers inevitable had made as if it meant to reform the law but had faintheartedly failed in the attempt, because it could not bring itself to do the one thing necessary to make the reform genuine and effectual, namely, break up the control of small groups of bankers. It has been oblivious, or indifferent, to the fact that the farmers, upon whom the country depends for its food and in the last analysis for its prosperity, were without standing in the matter of commercial credit, without the protection of standards in their market, transactions, and without systematic knowledge 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 promote, carried their labor as a mere commodity to market, were subject to restraint by novel and (drastic process in the courts, were without assurance of compensation for industrial accidents, with federal assistance in accommodating labor disputes, and without national aid or advice in finding the places and the industries in which their labor was most needed. The country had no national system of road construction and development. Little intelligent attention was paid to the army, and not enough to the navy. The other republics of America distrusted us, because they found that we thought first of the profits of American investors and only as an afterthought of impartial justice and helpful friendship, ts policy was provincial in all things its purposes were out of harmony with the temper and' purpose 6" the people and the timely development of the nation s interests.

Changes Effected.

So things stood when the democratic party came into power. How do they stand now? Alike in the domestic held and in the wide field of the commerce of the world, American 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 encouraging it, upon something like a footing of equality with our own in respect of the terms competitors, and a tariff board has been created whose function it will be to keep the relations of American with foreign buslnes.3 and Industry under constant observation, for the guidance alike of our 'business men and of Jur congress. American energies are now directed towards zhe 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 business but only against unfair business and the pretense of competition where there was none and a trade commission has been oreated with powers of guidance and accommodation which have relieved business men of unfounded fears and set them upon the road of hopeful and confident enterprise.

By the federal reserve act the supply 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 these assets are assessed and accepted, not by distant groups of bankers in control of unavailable reserves, but by banker* at the many centefs of local exchange who are in touch with local conditions everywhere.

Effective measures have been taken for the recreation of an American merchant marine and the revival of the American carrying trade indispensable to our emancipation from the control which foreigners have so- long exercised over the opportunities, the routes, and the*.methods of our commerce with other countries.

The interstate commerce commission is alpout to be reorganized to enable it to perform its great and important functions more promptly and more efficiently. We have created, extended and improved the service of the parcels pdst.

So much we have done for business. What -other party has: undertstoodathe task ao well or executed It '#o lintelllgently and 6hst-g6tically What other party has attempted it at all? The republican leaders, apparently, know of no means of assisting business ut 'protection." How to stimulate it and put it upon a new footing of energy and enterprise they have not suggested.

Credit for Farmers.

For the farmers of the country we have virtually created commercial credit, by means of the federal reserve act and the rural credits a'ct. They now have the standing of other business men in .the money market. We have successfully regulated speculation 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 frota the banks. We have greatly addedXto the work of neighborhood demonstration on the' farm itself of improved methods of cultivation, and, through the intelligent extension of the functions of the department of agriculture, have made It possible for the farmer to leairn systematically where his best markets are and how to get at them.

The workingmen of America have been given a.veritable emancipation, by the legal recognition of a man's labor as part of his iife, artd not a mere marketable commodity by exempting labor organizations from processes of the courts which treated their members like fractional parts of mpbs and not like accessible and responiuble individuals by releasing our seamen from inVoluntary servitude by making adequate provision for compensation for industrial accidents by providing .suitable machinery for mediation and conciliation in industrial disputes and by putting the federal department of labor. at the disposal ef the workingman when in search of work.

We have effected the emancipation of children of the country by releasing them from hurtful labor. We have instituted a system of national aid in the building of highroads such as the country has been: feeling after, for ~a century. We have sotight to equalize taxation by means 6f an equitable Income tax. We have taken the steps that ought to haVe been taken at the cutset to open up the resources of Alaska. We have provided for national defense upon a scale never before Beriously proposed upon the responsibility of an entire political party. We have driven the tariff lobby from cover and obliged it to substitute solid argument tot, private influence.

This extraordinary' recital must sound like a platform, a list of sanguine promises but it is not. It is a record of promises made four years ago and now actually redeemed in constructive, legislation.

These things must profoundly disturb the thoughts and confound the plans of. those who have made them-, selves believe that the democratic i^rty 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. The 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 neart of things. The

fully

ame of privilege can be played successby no other means. Carrlea Oat Platform.

This record must equally astonish those who feared that the democratic party had not opened Its heart to comprehend the demands of social justice. We have in four years comA very near to carrying out the platform of the progressive party as well as our own for we also are progressives.

There is one circumstance connected with this urogram which ought to be very plainly stated. It was resisted at every Btep by the interests which the republican party had catered to and fostered at the exoun.-io of the countiy, and these same Interexts are now earn estly praying for a reaction which will saye their privileges—-frr the restora

-r i

tion of their sworn friends to powei before it is too late to recover what they have lost. They fought with particular desperation and infinite resourcefulness the reform of the banking and currency system, knowing that to be the citadel of their control and most anxiously are they hoping and planning for the amendment of the federal reserve act by the concentration of control in a single bank which the old familiar group of bankers can keep under their eye and direction. But while the "big ltion" 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 maii knows that he has been delivered and that the fear that w xs once every ciay in his heart, that the'njen who controlled credit and directed enterprise from the committee rooms :-f congress would crush him, is-there no more, and will not return—unless the party that consulted^ only the "hii? men" should return to power—the party of masterly inactivity and cunning resourcefulnets in standing pat to resist change.

The republican party is just the party that cannot ireet the new conditions of a new age. It does not know the way and it does not wish new conditions. It iri«j-l to break away from the old leaders and could not. They still select its candidates and dictate its policy, still reeist change, still hanker after the old conditions, still know, no methods of encouraging business but the old methods. When it changes its leaders and its purposes and brings its Ideas'.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 revolutionary change, needs new purposes and new ideas..

In foreign affairs we have been guided by principles clearly conceived and consistently lived up to. Perhaps they have not been fully comprehended because they have hitherto governed international affairs only in theory, net in practice. They are simple, obvious, easily stated, and fundamental to American Ideals.

Neutrality.

We have been neutral not ,only because 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 influences which brought on the present war, but also because it was manifestly our duty to prevent, if it were possible, the indefinite extension of the fires of hare and desolation kindled by that terrible conflict and seek to serve mankind by reserving our strength and our resources for the anxious and difficult days of restoration and healing which mu-st follow, when peace will nave to build its house anew.

The rights of our own citizens of course became involved that was inevitable. Where they did this was1,our guiding principles that property rights can be vindicated by claims, for damages, and no modern nation can decline to arbitrate such claims but.the fundamental rights of humanity cannot be. The loss of life is irreparable. Nelthet can direct violations of a nation's sovereignty await vindication in suits for damages. The. nation that violates these essential rights must expect to be -checked and called to account- by direct challenge and resistance. It at once makes the quarrel in part our own. These are plain principles arid we have never lost sight of them or departed from them, whatever the Stress or the perplexity of circumstance or the provocation to hasty resentment. The record is clear and consistent throughout and stands distinct and definite for anyone to judge who wishes to know the truth about it.

The seas were riot broad enough to keep the Infection of the conflict out of our own politics. The passions and in-r trigues of certain active groups and combinations of men amongst us who were born under foreign flags injected the poison of disloyalty. Into our own most critical affairs, laid violent hands upon many of our induetries, and subjected^ ire to the shame of divisions of sentiment and purpose in which America was contemned and forgotten. It is pftrt-f'of' the "business of this year of reckoning and "settlemfent to speak plainly and act. with unmistakable purpose ill rebuke of these tliingrf, 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 toefore loyalty to the United States.

While Europe w&a at war our own continent, one of our own. neighbors, was shaken by revolution. In that matter, too, principle was plain and it was imperative that we should live up to it if we were ,to deserve the trust of any real partisain of the right as free men see It. We have professed to believe, and we do believe, that the people of small and weak states have the right to expect to be dealt with exactly as the people of big and powerful etatcs would be. We have acted upon that principle In dealing with the pertple of Mexico.

Pursuit of Bandits.

Our recent pursuit of bandits Into Mexican territory was no violation of that principle. We ventured u enter Mexican territory only because there were no military forces ijr» Mexico that could protect our border from hostile attack and our own people from violence, and we have committed there no single act of hostility or interference even with the sovereign authority of the republic of Mexico herself. It was a plain case of the violation of our own sovereignty which could not wait»to be vindicated by damages and for which there was no other remedy. The authorities of Mexico were powerless to prevent it.

Many serious wrongs against the property, many Irreparable wrongs against th» persons, of Americans have been committed within the territory of Mexico herself during this confuted revolution, wrongs which could riot be effectually checked so long as thfere was no constituted power In Mexico which was in a position to check them. We could not act directly in that matter ourselves without denying Mexicans the right to any. revolution at all which disturbed us and making the*emancipatiorf of her own people await our own interest and convenience.

For it Is their emancipation that they are seeking—blindly, it may be, and as yet ineffectually, but with" profound and passionate purpose and within their unquestionable right,, apply what true American principle you will—any principle that an Ariierican would publicly avow. The people of Mexico have •not been suffered to own their- own country or direct their own institutions. Outsider^, men out of other nations and with interests too often alien to their own, have dictated what their privileges and- opportunities should be and who should control their land, their lives, and their 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 anyone standing in their way. I know that this Is hard for some persons to understand but it. is not harcl 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 fortunes are

Invested in great properties in Mexico who yet see the case with true vision and assess its issues with true American feeling. The rest can bo left for the present out of the reckoning until this enslaved people has had its day of struggle towards the light. I have heard no one who was free from such influences propose interference by the United States with the internal affairs of Mexico. Certainly no friend of the Mexican people has proposed it.

Policy Toward Mexico.

The people of the United States are capable of great sympathies and a noble pity in dealing with problems of this

f£Mee 3Atf¥£ ffiiBSSf.

kind. As their spokesman and representative, I have tried to act in the spirit they would wish me show. The people of Mexico are striving for the rights,that are. fundamcneal\to life and happiness—fifteen million oppressed men, overburdened women, and pitiful childrien in virtual bondage !n their own home of fertile lands and inexhaustible treasure! Some of the leaders of the revolution may often have been mistaken and violent and selfish, but the revolution itself was inevitable and is right. The unspeakable Huerta betrayed the very comrades he served, traitorously overthrew the-gov-ernment of which he was a trusted part, impudently spoke for the very forces that had driven his people to the rebel-* lion with which he had pretended to sympathize. The men who overcame him and drove him out represent, at least the fierce passion of reconstruction which lies at the.jvery heart of liberty 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 with me the government of the United States will refuse to extend the hand pf welcome tovmy one who obtains power in a sister republic by treachery and violence. No permanency can be given the affirs of any republic by a titfe based upon intrigue and assassination. I declared that to he the policy of this administration wlthiri three weeks after I assumed the presidency. I here again vow, it. I .am more-Interested in'the fortunes of oppressed, men and pitiful women and children than in any property rights whatever. Mistakes I have no doubt made in this perplexing business, but not in purpose or object.

More is involved than the immediate destinies of Mexico and the relations of the-United States with a distressed and distracted people. All ^America looks on. Test ™s now being made of us v/hether we be sincere lovers-of popular liberty or not and are Indeed to be trusted to respect national sovereignty among our weaker neighbors. We have undertaken these many years to play big brother to the republics of this hemisphere. This is the day of our test whether we mean, or have ever, meant, to play that part for our own benefit wholly or alBO for theirs. Upon the outcome of that test (its outcome in their mintLi, not in ours)-depends every relationship of the United States with Latin America, whether in poliics or in commerce and enterprise. These are great issues and lie at tHraieart of the gravest tasks of the futmK tasks both economic and political awa very intimately inwrought with many of the most vital .of the new issues of the politics of the, world. The republics of America have in the last three years been-drawing together-in a new spirit of accommodation, mutual understanding, and cordial co-operation. Much of the politics of .the world in the years to come depend upon their relationships with. one another. It is a barren and provincial statesmanship that loses sight of such things!

Facing: the Future.

The future, the Immediate future, will bring us squarely face to face with many great and exacting problems which will search us through and through whether, we be able and ready to play the part In the world that we m$n to play. It will not bring us into their presence slowly, gently, with ceremonious introduction, 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 reckoned the force.and meaning of before. They will require for their •solution new thinking, fresh courage and resourcefulness, and in some matters radical reconsiderations of po.llcy. We must be ready to mobilize 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 wo are sure that wo understand it—and we have provided ourselves already with the means of understanding it,

L#ook first at what it will be necessary that the nations of. the worl/l should do to make the days to come tolerable and lit to live and work in and then look-at .our. p&rt in what Is to follow and our own duty, of.preparation. For we must be prepared both in resources and in policy.

There must be a just and settled peace, and we here in America' must •contribute the full force of our enthusiasm and of our authority as a nation to the organization of that peace upon world-wide foundations that cannot easly be shaken. No nation should be forced to take sides in any quarrel in ^vhich i,ts 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 pcace 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 end peril. If 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 generated 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 le tested in the -court of the whole world's opinion before it is attempted.

Building New Foundations. These are the new foundations the world must build for itself, and we must play our part in the reconstruction, generously and without too much thought of our separate interests. We must-make ourse^vss readv tft plav it intelligently, vigorously and Vrell.

One of the contributions we must make to the world s peace is this: We must see to it *hat the people in our insular possessions are- treated in their own lands as we would treat thtm here, and make the rule of the United States mean the same thing everywhere,—the same justice, the same consideration for the es-scntial rights of men.

Besides contributing our ungrudging moral and praoMca. support to he stablishment of peace through«ut the world we must actively arid inrelligently prepare ourselves to do our full service in the trade and industry which are to suata.n and develop -.he life ot 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 created in the fedoral trade ••mmit-r-.:c «, a means of inou'.-y and of accommodation in the field of comerce which ought both to coordinate the enterprises of our traders and manufacturers and to remove the bur -era of rnisunderstM ding and of a too technical interpretation of the law. In the new tariff commission we ha"» addutv another in'stru mentality ot observation and adjustment Which promise/! to bv- immediately serviceable. The trade commission substitutes counsel and accommodation o e a s i v s o e s s e s o i e a e straint, and the .tariff coitupi-sslon 'Ugiit o substltut-3 facts for prejudices n.d theories. Our exporters have f-r s,me time had the advantage of working in the fiew light thrown upon .Vrfijsn markets and opportunities of trade by the intelligent inquiries and iu-ti'MioB of the bureau of foreign and domostic commerce :wh:cii the democratic congress so wisely created in 1912. The tariff commtssl'»n completes the machinery by which we shall be «naMud to open up vur legislative policv to the facts as they develop.

We can no longer Itidulgo our traditional provincialism. We are to play a loading part in the world drama whether we 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 may get In.

Natural Resourced.

We have already formulated and agreed-upon a policy of law which will expllclty 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 worli The field will be free, the instrumentalities at hand. It will only remain for the masters of enteprlse amongst us to act- in energetic concert, and for the government of the United States to insist upon the maintenance throughout the world of those conditions of fairness, and of oven-handed justice in the comrnercial dealings of thevnations with one another \upon whic\ after all, ln the last analysts, the peace and ordered life of the world must ultimately depend.

At home also we must see to it that the men who plari and develop and direct our business elterpriseis shall enjoy definite and settled conditions of law, a policy accommodated to the freest progress. We have set the just and necessary limits. «,We have jput all kinds of unfair competition under the ban and penalty ot the law. We have barred monopoly. Tbeso fatal and ugly things being exc:uded, we must now quicken action and facilitate enterprise 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. I wish we could have made more progress than we have made in this vital matter and,I call onc^ more, w-ith the deepest earnestness and solicitude, upon the adyfjeates of a careful arid provident conservation, on the one hand, and the advocates of a free and inviting field for private capital, on the other, to get together in a spirit of genuine accommodation and agreement and set this great policy forward at once.

We must heaten and quicken tho spirit- and efficiency of labor throughout our whole industrial system by everywhere and in all occupations doing Justice to th^ laborer, not only by paying a living wage but also by making all the conditions that surround 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 threatened or imperilled. That is more than justice, and better, because it is humanity ami economy.

We, must co-ordinate the railway systems of the country for national use, and must facilitate and promote their develqpment with a view to that -co-ordftiation 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 complete.

Thus shall we stand ready to meet the future as circumstance and International policy effect their unfolding, whether the changes come slowly- or come fast and without preface.

I have not spoken explicitly, gentlemen, of the platform adopted at St. Louis: but it ha3 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 practical program. We have proved to Ihem that our promises are made to be kept.

We hold very definite ideals. We believe that the energy and initiative of our people have been too narrowly coached and superiiitended that they should be set free, as we have set them free, to disperse themselves throughout the nation that they should not be concentrated in the hands of a few powerful guides and guardians, as our .opponents have again and again, in efl-ort if not in purpose, sought to concentrate .them. We believe, moreover,— who that looks about him mw with comprehending eye can fail to believe? —that the day of little Americanism, with its narrow horizons, when methods of "protection" and industrial nursing were the chief study of our provincial statesmen, are past arid gone and that a day of enterprise 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 great affairs of peace. We are Americans for Big America, and rejoice 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 to see upon what deep foundations of humanity and justice our passion for

fook

ieace rests, and when all mankind shall 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'clearer than profit or selfish power.

Upon this record and in thr faith of this purpose wo go to the country.
