IN WILSON
president Speaks for Equal Suffrage,
Declares American Law Has Not j
Kept Pace With Justice and That I
Our Courts Should Administer Jus- j
tice Instead of Law.
I.OXO llIiAXCII, Oct. 28. Presi
dent Wilson, speaking hole todny,
charged his opponents with resorting
to untruths, mul uttacked the patriot
ism of nicu who tnke advantage of u
crisis when "peace can only le main
tained by careful thought" lo settle '
party quarrels. ' j
The president declared thu repith- !
licnn party "possesses no definite
policy." I
"They do not want a peace obtained j
,ns gentlemen, but a peace obtained
s braggarts," he asserted. "We have
determined that whether we got the
respect of the world or not, we will
deserve, it."
Scmppllng at Nothing
The president declared his oppon
ents were "scruppling at nothing."
"What are we to say of the patriot-'
ism of men who take advantage of a !
crisis, when the peace, of this nation I
can be only maintained with deep;
thought, merely to settle u purty quar- y
ret? ".he asked. f
. Afr. Wilson departed somewhat 1
troin his prepnrcd speech. . Discuss
ing the eight-hour dny,.hc said be was
for that period in every occupation in
which it is possible, "because the
eight hour day is more profitable."
"Ilecntise of rules of nature aii
eight-hour day may not be possible
for fanners," he added.

i'plaration of the president. "These
gentlemen made predictions ahout
what will happen after the war that
are incredible," he einid, referring di
rectly to statements made by Charles
E. Hughes. "The prophesies of these
gentlemen are as imperfect as their
rccollee lions."

leaking bis motto "co-operation,"
President Wilson spoke here today at
the principal meeting of a series of
gatherings in many stales arranged by
the deuioerntie national committee in
celebration of "Wilson day." The oc
casion was also known as "Kinpiio
Stato day" here, because delegations
of organization democrats, independ
ents, progressives and women from
New York journeyed on special trains
from Kcw York City and state to
greet the president and assure him of
their support.
The president spoke for woman
.liffragc, declared that "American law
has not kept pace with American sen
timent," and that "what was legal
has begun to play a more important
part in our thoughts and determina
tions than what is human and right."
He outlined the legislative achieve
ments of his administration and
sketeiied broadly a program for the
future, including the. making of
"courts of justice out of our courts of
law." and the establishment of per
manent peace.
