Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Report of the Proceedings of the Democratic National Convention Held in Baltimore, Maryland, June 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and July 1 and 2, 1912: Resulting in the Nomination of Hon. Woodrow Wilson (of New Jersey) For President and Hon. Thomas Riley Marshall (of Indiana) For Vice-President Urey Woodson, Secretary. The Presiding Officer: Prayer will be offered by His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. Prayer Of His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Of Baltimore. His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, offered the following prayer: We pray Thee O God of might, wisdom and justice, through Whom authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted and judgment decreed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude, the President of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he presides, by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion, by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy and by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy divine Wisdom direct the deliberations of this Convention and shine forth in all its proceedings and enactments, so. that they may tend to the preservation of peace and good will and the promotion of concord and harmony. May authority be exercised in this Convention without despotism, and liberty prevail without license. May this Convention demonstrate once more to the American people and to the world at large that the citizens of the United States have solved the problem of self-government by exercising and tolerating the broadest and most untrammeled freedom of discussion in their political assemblies, without dethroning reason and without invading the sacred and inviolable rights of law and of public order. May the delegates assembled to select a candidate for Chief Magistrate be ever mindful that they are the sons of the same heavenly Father, that they are brothers of the same national family, that they are fellow citizens of the same glorious Republic, that they are the joint heirs of the same heritage of freedom, and may it be their highest ambition to transmit this precious inheritance, unimpaired, to their children and their children´s children. May the consciousness of this community of interests banish from their hearts all bitterness, hatred and ill will, and inspire them with sentiments of genuine charity, benevolence and mutual respect and forbearance.
