WILSON Says Steps Should Be Taken to Aid Those Engaged in Agri cultural Pursuits as in Foreign Countries-Huerta Is Called Usurper and President Says There Will Be No Peace Until He Is Ousted From Place Says Relations With Other Countries Peaceful and Satisfactory He Advocates Rural Credits. UHITKD FBIES8 LEASED WIUB. Washington, Doc. 2. President Wil son this afternoon read his message to congress. It was just 1:07 p. m., seven min utes later than the hour scheduled, when, after clasping Speaker Clark and then Vice-President Marshall by the land, the national executive stepped upon the rostrum. For perhaps 30 sec onds he stood, smilingly waiting for the applause to subside before he began Tending. The noise subsided at his first word and all present listened in rapt atten tion, for the occasion was the first on which the administration's general pol icies have been fully outlined, the pres ident's previous addresses with the ex ception of his inaugural speech, having dealt with single specific subjects. It wag evident from his listeners' manner that the suggestion which struck them most forcibly was the president's recommendation for the substitution of direct primaries fov conventions iu making nominations of candidates for the office ho now holds. Bryan Not Eecoguized. Mrs. Wilson and her daughter, Elea nor and Margaret, sat In the front row in the executive gallery. Mrs. Wilson wore a groen broadcloth suit and a big black picture hat. With the exception of Secretary of State Bryan, the cabinet members had seats on the floor of the house, in the second rob back from the rostrum and directly in front of the president. Bry an, howevor, wont to the gallery. Fail ing to recognize him, tho door keeper asked him for his card, but the secre tary of state pushed by him and took a seat beside Mrs. Wilson. Admission to tho galleries of the house was by card. lioprescntativos received one card each for the benefit of their friends and senators two each. Most of them were given to the law maker's wivoe, daughters or sisters. Legislators representing states in which equal rights prevaid in particular were doulgcd with applications for tickets from women voters. The result waa that women far out numbered men among the spectators. The occasion was -made distinctly a fashionable one, magnificent gowns and gorgoous millinery creating a splendid show in the gnllcries. i On the floor of tho house the front scats were reserved for the senators, who were received by the representa tives, standing as the visiting upper hmiso members marched in. All kept their feet until tho tap of the speaker's of territorial government, government gavel was hoard. The following Is s owned and managed railroads, and do- synopsis of the president's message Bays Huerta Must Quit "Tho country, I am thankful to say, Is at peace with all the world. More and more rapidly do the nations mani fest their willingness to bind them- solves by treaty to the processes of peace. So far the United Btatos has stood at the front of 'such segotiations. ' Sho will, I hope and believe, give frenh' proof of her adherence to International friendship by ratifying the several treaties of arbitration awaiting renewal by the senate. "There is but one cloud upon our horizon. That hangs over Mexico. Thero can be no certain prospwt of peace in America until Oeneral Huerta has surrendered his usurped authority; until it is understood that uch preterd ed goiemments will not be counten anced by the United Plate.

"I present to you in addition the ur gent necessity that special provision be made for facilitating the credits needed by the farmers.

Anti-Trust Legislation. "I think it will be easily agreed that we should let the Sherman anti-trust law stand but that we should as much as possible reduce the area of its de batable ground by further and moro ex plicit legislation and also supplement that great act by legislation which will not only clarify it, but also facilitate its administration and make it fairer to all concerned. "I feel confident I do not misinter pret the wishes of tho country when I urgo prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elec tions at which tho voters may choose their nominees for. the presidency, with out tho intervention of nominating con ventions. I suggest that this legisla tion should proviilo for the retention of conventions, but only for the purpose of accepting the verdict of the primar ies and formulating platforms! Discussing the country's foreign pos sessions, tho president urged a steady movement toward the Independence of tho Philippines Alaska's Government. In Alaska ho advocated the full form velopment, without waste, of the conn try's resources, without monopoly, upon any narrow idea of Individual rights as against the abiding interests of communities" Other recommendations the president made wore the equipment of the bureau of mines with power to improve the minors' condition and make mines more productive and safer, an effec- tlve employers' liability act for the benefit of railroad men and alleviation "of the very unnafe, unjust and bur densome conditions which surround the employment of sailors."
