In a heated debate the speaker challenges Dr. Wilson over prior accusations and silence during the campaign. The speaker questions Wilsons sincerity and accuses him of sudden conversion and attempts to discredit prominent supporters.
A private conversation reveals Dr. Wilson backing Mr. Martine and urging legislators to honor the 1907 preference act. The speaker notes the act is nonbinding and claims voters supported lawmakers who refused to favor Martine, framing a political confrontation over Senate selection.
The speaker argues Dr. Wilson misstates the law and threatens legislators who oppose Mr. Martine. He cites the Democratic majority on joint ballot and recalls the party platform demanding a constitutional amendment for popular election of U S Senators. He questions fairness and calls for intelligent, fair judgment by the American people.
The piece discusses Dr. Wilson’s evolving stance on primaries and party principles, noting the convention’s outcome and the rejection of the primary act. It cites Washington’s warning on constitutional change and frames the issue as upholding the Constitution rather than individual leadership, with Wilson preparing a reply in Jersey City after presiding over the American Political Science Association meeting in St. Louis.
