TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 3.--Before an audience which filled the Taylor Opera House, Dr. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, defined to-night where he stood on public issues. He was received with immense enthusiasm. His wife, sitting in a box, joined heartily in the applause.
Unmindful of the fact that "Old Nassau" is only sung or played when Princeton men are in danger of defeat, the band played the air when Dr. Wilson was introduced by Chairman Erwin E. Marshall of the Democratic City Committee, but the audience did not know university ethics, and yelled for five minutes. When Dr. Wilson could make himself heard he said:
"I was given the nomination, your representatives offered me that, but I must win your votes if I am to be elected.
Referring to the position taken by Vivian M. Lewis, the Republican nominee for Governor, that he "will be a constitutional Governor," Dr. Wilson said Lewis meant he would only talk to the Legislature and be bound by the acts of that body.
"If you elect me I will be an unconstitutional Governor in that respect. I will talk to the people as well as to the Legislature, and I will use all moral force with that body to bring about what the people demand. I am going to take every important debate in the Legislature out on the stump and discuss it with them. If the people do not agree, then no harm will be done to the legislators, but the people will have their way in things. This is serving the spirit of the Constitution.

WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER.
Our current commie in chief is the worst president ever. This Wilson POS was pretty bad. But FDR did more damage. Took a nasty recession and extended it into a decade plus depression.
I meant as an individual. Wilson was easily the most racist man to ever occupy that mansion and that even includes the present resident.
Yeah Wilson was a racist southern cracker demonrat. He was in favor of eugenics as were many of his time including Theodore Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh . It was considered a legitimate science up until Hitler decide to use the principle to eliminate the Jews. It sort of lost favor after that.
Mob rule. And damn the Constitution.
No wonder we are where we are.
How to undo it is the question.
Um, no it hasn't. Like every other time the progressives have discredited their beliefs, they just changed the name. now it's called "women's right to choose", "obamacare", "The Complete Lives System", "Environmentalism".
Instead of being under one big umbrella, it's fractured into smaller bits that allow for plausible deniability and more surface area for the mouth breathers to latch onto.
