NEW YORK “Slta”: “Governor Wilson’s speech of < acceptance has good luck as t well as merit. It comes just in ( time to contrast sharply with i the interminable Bedlamite < rant of Th, Dentatus Afrlcanus 1 Ferox. And, if without con- | tempt of campus it may be said, 3 though written by a college < president, very recently retired, j it Is in the English language, < not anaemic and seldom with j suspicion of priggishness or don- < nlshness, though it has an air, | a certain academic distinction j of its own. What will please { everybody who has a living to j make is Governor Wilson's j equable and moderate tone, j Governor Wilson is for repair, j not for destruction." NEW YORK “TIMES”: ‘lt is applicable. The doml- < nant thought, the very soul of J his discourse, is the common < interest of all the people, their J partnership in our activities < and our prosperity. The part- { nershlp idea comes from his j mind, not as a sublimated po- | litlcal theory, but as a practical, ] immediate remedy.” NEW YORK “WORLD”: "Governor Wilson’s speech of j acceptance is the ablest, clear- J est, sanest statement of high J public purpose this country has f known in a generation. "Without passion, without in- ? vective, without abuse, without j partisan bitterness, without < denunciation, without egotism, | without demagogy, he has driv- < en straight to the heart of the 3 supreme issue of American in- j stitutions—the partnership be- 3 tween government and privl- < lege.” 5

JOHN E. LAMB. EX-REPRE- C SENTATIVE FROM INDIANA: > "Speech is discreet, able, safe C and sane. Governor Wilson be- / lieves in the eCicacy of the bcal- C pel rather than the big stick. > His dissection of trust and tar- C iff evils is unique and convinc- ? ing. His suggestions of reform C in methods of government and ? reduction of tariff schedules C will meet with approval of ? legitimate business and the la- 5 boring masses as well.” S

CHAMP CLARK. SPEAKER OF 2 the HOUSE of REPRE- 5 SENTATIVEB: C "Considered from a literary ? standpoint Governor Wilson’s C speech of acceptance will take > high rank in the political out- C put of the year. It will make / pleasant reading, and, therefore, C will prove a fetching campaign ? document He discusses the C issues of ths day philosophical- / ly. clearly ana forcibly. Its cour- C teous tone will allay opposition ( and win him friends. It Is an $ admirable pronouncement" >
