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 turn to matter of domestic con
cera.
Currency Measure.
"You have under consideration a
til
lr
bin for the roform of Mir system of
banking and currency, for which the
country waits as for something funds
mental to its whole business life. 1
need not toy how earnestly I tope foj
its ourly enactment into law.
"I present to you in addition the ur
gent necessity that special provision be
made for facilitating the credits needed
by the farmers. They need and Bhou'o.
cblain legislation which will make their
own abundant and substantial credit re
sources -available as a foundation for
joint, corierted local action in their
own bebjlt in getting, the capital thoy
Mist use.
Must Help Farmers.
' ' Systems of rural credit have been do

c: I t i on and I thin i.' ugri e
that tho immediate servico we owe the
business communities of the country is
to prevent private monopoly more ef
fectually than it has been prevented.
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."
