WILSON’S SPEECH
OF ACCEPTANCE
TO BE NOTABLE
WASHINGTON, August 0.—Presi
dent Wilson’s speech of acceptance of
the demooratic nomination, a speech
which will be notable for its exposi

gress.
The president is anxious that the
entire democratic legislative program,
including the workmen’s compensa
tion, child labor and shipping pro
jects, shall be on the statute books,
in order that his speech may refer to
them as laws actually in force, rather
than as laws to be enacted.
