WORTHY OF ALL CONFIDENCE

Democratic Presidential Ticket Will Appeal to the Country as an Ideal Selection. Governor Wilson is & progressive Democrat, and in theory, he must be regarded as decidedly radical in his theories, but he is evidently too prompt and practical in his disposition of the affairs in which the public welfare is involved to disturb unnecessarily the business interests of the country. Business is practically the daily bread of the people. To work is every man’s duty, imposed upon him from the foundation of the world, and that he shall be duly and justly paid for his services was a duty laid upon human society by that same divine decree, the some time there must be no invasion of constitutional rights and no despoiling of private property. That the governor in his present high official station recognizes these laws and that he will cpntinue to regard them as the chief magistrate of the American republic is to be fully trusted to his sense of justice and accepted by the people with the fullest confidence. A scholar may be a mere dreamer and pragmatic theorist, but Governor Wilson has too much of political and practical initiative and ability to be put in such a category. He is going to be president of the United States as far as human conditions can make him so. and he will be a good one. The Democratic ticket was completed by the nomination to the vice presidency of Governor Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana. Governor Marshall is also a man of high educational attainments, and is a lawyer of high standing, but. curiously enough, like Governor Wilson, he never held a political office until he was elected governor of his state. The two nomi-, nations reverse the notion that in order to attain high official station a man must go through a course of political training from subordinate places to the highest stations. Here are two citizens who were elevated 5t a singkj movement to the highest public places in their respective states and they have gained such favor that they are now nominated to the highest places in the nation. That is a striking fact. —New Orleans Picayune.
