John H. Clarke to Woodrow Wilson

I listened to your address last night intently and I have read it carefully this morning. The impression it leaves with me is best expressed, I think, by what Justice Day (as fine a mind as I am coming in contact with these days) said as we were returning together from the Capitol.
Speaking after reflection, he said, “I really think there's not another man in America who could have done it so well”.
It is a trumpet call to your country and to all genuine lovers of political liberty in the world.
Be assured constantly, in the trying days before you that your countrymen, now without respect to political party association, have every confidence that the hour of national trial finds us with our most competent national leader in command.
God bless you,
