Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 53, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 September 1916 — GOOD SERVICE RENDERED [ARTICLE]

GOOD SERVICE RENDERED

Woodrow Wilson stands for free government, for honest government, for visible government—for the common rights of men and women, of business groups and organizations, of municipalities and states, of the United States and of the other nations of the world whether they be weak or powerful. He has been free of the influence of special interests whether brought to bear by money power within the United States or by the greatest military power on earth. Proof lies in the long, explicit and wonderful record of his performance in the Presidency. For that reason he was able to say in his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President:

“I do not doubt that the people of the United States will wish the Democratic party to continue in control of the government. They are not in the habit of rejecting those who have actually served them for those who are making doubtful and conjectural promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those who have actually rendered those very services.”
