Senator Ollie M. James lauds President Wilson's administration for preventing war, enacting progressive laws, reforming taxation, and building up the military and federal institutions. He criticizes Republican opposition, defends the Underwood tariff, the Federal Reserve system, and naval expansion while praising diplomacy over force.
The Woodrow Wilson Independent League aimed at attracting Republicans and Progressives to support President Wilson was organized during the Democratic National Convention. Notables from both parties join the Committee on Organization and a nationwide appeal for members was approved with New York central headquarters planned.
New York delegates in St Louis unanimously backed James W. Gerard as their candidate for vice president, concluding a bid amid a split for Sullivan. Charles Murphy supported Gerard after persuasion, aiming to present a New York slate to the convention.
Vance McCormick, Wilson's campaign manager pick, was born in Harrisburg on June 19, 1872. A Yale football captain turned politician, he rose to mayor at 29 and earned a reputation as Harrisburg's best mayor. He has long pursued civic reform and agricultural development.
The document outlines McCormick's bid for the Democratic National Committee chair while indicating support for Woodrow Wilson. It notes his affiliation with Yale and his roles, including potential service to the national committee and possible appointment as a director on the Federal Reserve Board in Philadelphia.
Wordy discussions at the committee reflect splits over woman suffrage and foreign policy as leaders push for a Wilsonian stance.

The American Organization of Labor seeks labor reform and migration ballot rights. Navy advocates urge a strong second-sea power to defend coasts and Panamanian interests.
Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, called from bed after renomination, expresses gratitude to Indiana and friends for loyalty. He says his sole aim is to aid Wilson's re election, believing it serves the party and country. Mrs. Marshall and Indianapolis supporters have been lingering in the background for days.
