Text
In a letter written from Washington on April 6 to Clyde A. Sweeton, chairman of the Texas Democratic administration executive committee, Senator Charles A. Culberson approves of the conduct of the national administration and says that he believes a favorable delegation should be elected to the party’s convention in San Francisco.
The following is taken from the letter:
“I believe the conduct of the national Democratic administration should be approved and delegates to the San Francisco convention from Texas favorable to such action should be selected.“
At the Baltimore convention of 1912
Woodrow Wilson was nominated for President largely through the influence and efforts of the Texas delegation to that convention, and the Democracy of the State feels a natural and just pride in his election and the splendid achievements of the Government under his leadership. The course of his first administration was not only approved by the Democracy of Texas, but he was unanimously renominated at St. Louis in 1916 by the national Democracy. He is the only man born and reared in the South who has been elected President since Zachary Taylor, and the only Democrat from whatever section of the Union who has been successively elected President for two terms since Andrew Jackson.
“Aside from these consideration, when we turn to the accomplishments of his administration, our duty as Democrats to indorse him is plain. Among the more notable of these governmental achievements are the downward revision of the tariff, an income tax law, the Clayton anti-trust act, the Federal Trade Commission act, the farm loan act, the Federal reserve act, the eight-hour law, and the good roads law. In truth, in great constructive legislation his administration challenges comparison with any in our history.“
His conduct of the recent war with Germany was masterful. With consummate ability and skill he organized the material resources and man-power of the Nation in the greatest war known to mankind, and at the peace conference in Paris, which concluded the great victory, he stood the foremost man in all the world.”
