WILSON OUTLINES
POLICY FOR PARTY
Hope for "Social Jus-
ntice" Dominant
MESSAGE SURPRISINGLY BRIEF
Warm Reception in Contrast to
v Previous Occasion.
MEXICAN POLICY. IS SAME
Direct Primary for President, Legis
lation to Supplement Sherman
, I -aw, .Marks Railway Are
Among Measures Advised.
WASHINGTON. Dm. 2. President
Wilson laid before Congress today the
legislative ambition of the Democratic
.Administration.
For exactly 2S minutes the Presi
dent stood before the assembled Sen
. am and House in the chamber of the
latter and read his first annual mes
sage. Applause punctured Important
utterances and when he had finished
there was an enthusiastic demonstra-
tion with handclapping and cheers.
Erlefly the President outlined a pro
gramme for social Justice and the gen
eral welfare of the Nation vand pro
claimed the aspirations of the United
States for International amity and the
maintenance of constitutional govern
ment In all America.
Message Astoalahlagly !krt.
With close, almost eager, attention,
members of the two houses listened
and legislators gave vent to their en
thusiasm, together with the crowded
gsKerles.
Less than S040 words lone;, the mes
: ge was one of the briefest and most
r vet of American state papers a
r. -rked contrast as presented by its
i.jthor today to the hitherto lengthy
..-ouments averaging 20.000 words or
cere droned through by a. reading
rk to an Inattentive audience.
There wss another contrast cunsplc
cisly apparent.- -
President "Wilson had read three
mr.sacs before oatho tariff, on the
currency, and Mexican affairs. The
first time be addressed a Joint session
in person, early In his: term, there was
an atmosphere of stiff formality, ap
plause was liberal but perfunctory and
there was an indefinable air of prece
dent being broken of a century -old
' crstotji being revived. Also there was
an expectant curiosity as to how tha
President would be received. Today
the President's reception was warm,
utmost uproarious as he concluded his
reading. Later. Republicans and Demo
crats alike pronounced the message
as the utterances of a statesman.
Leader Maaa I. Ike. Idea."
"I like the idea of the President's
coming before Congress." said Repre
sentative Mann, Republican House
leader, "and reading a short message.
pithy and to the point. In the main
I liked the message today. . I think
everybody will recognise it as the ut
terance of a statesman, regardless of
whether -he agrees with Its details."
The scene of today's . function was
much the same as on tha thro previ
ous occasions when President Wilson
has addressed Congress -----galleries
crowded with men and women of Im
portance in public affairs, mem bars of
the Cabinet, tha diplomatic corps and
the White House family.
The suggestion of the President that
party conventions as at present consti
tuted be abolished won applause. As
Mr. Wilson declared tha party conven
tion should be held only to ratify the
verdict of preference primaries; that
the personnel of the conventions
should be for the most part chosen
from those members of Congress and
Congressional nominee on whom
would devolve the duty of carrying out
pialform pledges, there was a wave of
tand-clapping in which Secretary
.Bryan and members of the Cabinet
Joined.
BREVITY OF MESSAGE MARKED
Subject of Trusts One of Those Re
served for Future.
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 5. President
Wilson departed from custom of the
past today in writing a relatively brief
message to Congress, this brevity being
attained In part by omitting the uaual
review of the Government's accom
pllehment by departments, and by do
ferrlng some other subjects, such as
that of trusts, for subsequent messages.
In his message today the President
reiterated, as to Mexico, that- Huerta
must go. and said that tha country
could wait with patience the collapaa
of the dictatcr. now near.
lie also urges prompt action on the
currency bill. Ha discusses the fur
ther need of credit aid to the farmer,
advocates supplementing the Sherman
anti-trust law with legislation to clar
ify it. He favors direct primaries for
the nomination of candidates for Presi
dent. A Government railway for Alaska
and a better employers liability law
are other subjects treated.
The message In full was as follows:
In pursuance of mv constitutional
d'jty to "artve to the Congress Informa
tion of the state of th tnlon," 1 take
the liberty of addressing; you on sev
eral matters which ought, as It seems
to me. particularly to engajre the at
tention of your honorable bodies, as of
tConciudsd a Fag, 4.)
INDIAN SUMMER IS
BRIEF, TARDYGUST
ELUSIVE, BROWN AND PCRPLE
XYMPII DUE TO DEPART.
Blue Watch Fires Rekindled for Two
Dreaming; Dajs Likely to Be Put
Out Today, Says Weather Man.
Indian Summer, who had hidden her
self for a time, perhaps in some cedarn
covert In the heart of the bills, where
she would not wet her dainty mocca
sins, has returned and on the heights
that look down upon the Valley of the
Columbia she has rekindled her blue
watchflres.
Tor two dreaming days the air has
been suffused with the witchery of
her presence. The sun has filtered
down through Idling clouds that hare
trailed their raveled fleeces across
skies only less . blue than those of
Junetlme.
The "come-back" has .been as com
plete as that of each recurring Christ
mas, or of any one of the several in
stances of tha recuperative powers of
Sara Bernhardt.
But today, according to District
Forecaster Beats, it may be , raining
again, and if the brown-and-purple
nymph Is to remain she had best get
an umbrella and some rubbers.

' "We feel President Wilson has fallen
short of the greatest opportunity which
has come to him or will ever come to

an opportunity. President Wilson had
