THE F01IPFS THAT 1VO.V.
Woodrow Wilson said yesteriny that ho had not yet
come to a realization or the fact that tic is tlio Wilson
who has been before the public three months as a candi-
date for president and Is now elected.
In Mr Wilson's frame of mind inny be found an ex-
planation of the tremendous change of opinion of the
people of the United States from what (hoy themselves
conceived It to be until they iut their opinions Into
concrete form.
Tho old order changed and vfe did not know It wag
dead until we read Its obituary Wednesday lit n decla-
ration for new Issues new thought ami n new sort of
men.
For fifty years men have been preaching for change
and yet some of them did not In tholr hearts desire
It; and others did not feel Jt would ever conle about.
Tho people were wont to fallow blindly after leader?.
These lenders maintained their supremacy because they
sought to hear (he voice of popular factions and preju-
dice and to echo It back to their followers
Mr. Bryan In 189G declared himself to bo tho chain
plon Of the ''common people" Uiir cartoonists began
to mnUe caricatures of the ''common pcjplc" We nc.
cejitcd their views einres8od in pictures that ''common
people" wcro the grumbling the complaining and the
no'cr-do-wcllB.
Then there worq preached sermons for tho "ovjjn
chance" and for the "rights of the miusos' and for the
"equality of every man before the law."
The people themselves as they began to realize that
they were not getting the host there was in life also
began to realize thefr power Eveiy man hcfjm to bo
a leader and then the lenders became followers and
after ft Bhort season of demngogy the people themselves
from their own ranks and front the ranks or mtm think-
ing nlong their lines began to choose those who should
speak for them.
Tho mobs of France following 1793 found thcmsolvos
. pressed; on nil Bides by trained soldiers under trained
leaders These captains were selected by .tho kings
of Austria and Prussia and 'England. They wore men
or great military skill. They hnd been carefully trained
In the -profession of arms. Thoy were tho sons and
grandsons of soldiers. Tholr forebears had fallowed
Martborough and Prince Eugene; and yet when they met
these French solderB of the republic under their cltL
zen generals who know- nothing of the science of Wan
they were beaten on every field.
The French mob transformed Into nn army was
stronger than It thought ltoolf to be' U appreciated Its
strength only in measuring it against that of adversaries
who hnd alwajB carried their banners high III tlio air
The new doctrines which were tho old Democratic
dcitrlnes reborn were not respected In JSflC and tholr
advocates were crushed.
The Bame doctrines failed in 1D0O because the Repub-
licans had the prestige of a successful war.
In 1901 the Roplibllcan party Won hucnuso It was
under the leadership of a man who moro Hourly appealed
to the real democracy of tho people than did the nominee

In this they wore terribly mlstnlson
.Mr. Tnft himself followed the HuggohtJous or Aldrteh
and Penrose and Crane and Hoot. Tlww man nil stood
for tho oldordcr for absolution and for tho right of M
Money and nig Privilege to rule. They hollow! that
tho mnsspB thomsolvcB should receive tholr deoroes with-
out question. But thry wore out of touch with the peo
Plo. Thoy were trying to set up as a supreme duty of
the pooplo the blind obedience (o party loudorshlp which
was current thirty joars ngo. Thoy wore looking bwe-
ard. They had lost stop W(u tlosc who supplied the
VOtCB.
The masses fn the meantime had become strong l

The Republican party ought to have died nt the cIobo of
tho war. It was then n gront parly In all things except
h heart. It hud splendid leadership mid a magnificent
membership. The war hnd Bottled Its only Isriio. It
vns oreated to Biippreiw alnvery and when HiIb was over

foolod tho people and won vlclorlos for so mnny years
In forty states a plurality of tho people declared for
the Democracy that wa Wilson's In all tho Btate of
the I'nlon except four the majority of the peoplp havo
renounced the Republican party and nil Its pump and all

Gov. Wilson's victory was sweeping.
The triumph of nomocracy Is hnporlnl In Ita maglilD-
