Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Woodrow and the Granddaughters of a President: Southern Progressives Appeal From Miss. Tarbell´s Verdict To the Progressives of the West: The mental processes through which the always brilliant and usually intellectually honest, Miss Ida M. Tarbell, has steered to endoresment of Woodrow Wilson as fit to lead Progressive Christendom, are calculated to beguile and befuddle the public mind; already steeped in four years of beguilement and befuddlement, under soulful words from the White House, with never a robust deed to back them up. Southern Progressives appeal from the accolade placed on the shoulders of President Wilson by Miss Tarbell. We point to four years of lofty essays unillumined by constructive legislation which should entitle Woodrow Wilson to the support of a single Progressive, East, West, North or South. Progressives have been singled out by Woodrow Wilson for the most contemptuous treatment visited by him on any class of his fellow citizens. He overlooked the fact that we were Americans. He conveniently forgot that due to our following the leadership of Roosevelt, he owed his accidental tenure of the White House. He might, at least, have cherished a tolerant feeling for us, but he didn´t, not until the hour when he needs our votes. New World history has not furnished a more versatile talker than Woodrow Wilson. Theories, dreams, elegant essays - that´s all there is to his record. The west has nurtured the doers of the deeds that have made our land great and held it free. There has never been a congenial spot in the wonderful region, beyond the Mississippi, for the man who does not translate valiant talk into the democracy of virile conduct. The stalwart Americanism which has flowered in unmatched splendor across America´s western plains to the Pacific sea, is our country´s hope, in this hour of great need. Southern Progressives appeal to the unbought patriotism of Western Progressives to support the candidate who stands for the preservation, in undiminished strength, of the constitutional liberties for which our fathers fought. I appeal to Western Progressives neither as a Republican nor as a Democrat. I was a delegate to the Progressive convention which nominated Roosevelt in 1912 and I was a delegate to the Progressive convention which nominated Roosevelt in 1916. And so long as a convention shall assemble on this continent to nominate Roosevelt for President, I propose to be a member of that convention, for I know he is America´s strongest man and the world´s foremost statesman.
