Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1912 — Reaching the Root. [ARTICLE]

Reaching the Root.

“Radical” means “rootlcal" and these laws merely got at the root of the things. We supposed we were electing our public officials. We were electing them, but were not selecting them. Certain gentlemen in private 'office were making up the slates and then permitting us to accept them. I want to have a voice in the selection of men I shall advocate. What is “radical?” Why, merely giving back to the communities of New Jersey what they supposed they had all aIong.—WOODROW WILSON.
