Woodrow+Wilson+8th


 * VOTE WILSON! **

Radio Interview: Woodrow Wilson   During my campaigning time I proposed “New Freedom” to the Republican congress. This was supposed to keep us out of war. The New Freedom is the revising of the banking system, the checking of monopolies and fraudulent advertising the prohibiting of unfair business practices. My main goal right now is to maintain our neutrality overseas. This issues turn to the society when it became one of my main slogans < >. This had me voted in to the second term of presidency. A year later four of our ships were sunk and I ask congress for a Declaration of War. Congress granted it on April 6. On January 8, 1918 my fourteen point speech put societies view on the war in a different perspective. I based it on freedom, justice, and peace. After the Peace Conference in Versailles the Senate changed their mind and declined the American acceptance of the League of Nations. During my speech in Pueblo, Colorado on September 25, 1919 I collapsed and had a stroke. This lead to not to be able to finish my speech tour and soon after congress took over and I had little control over the republican congress. My view on congress was that I knew it would have been difficult but I knew that I could handle it.   Women’s Suffrage is urgently needed as a war measurement. These women are one fourth of my votes to elect me as my second term presidency. This issue was first brought up to our intention in 1915 but then it was shot down by our House. This issue needed to be taken care of because Women are becoming more involved in today’s society. These women are taking care of children, working in industries, and I stand behind them with a Yes! We need to create a laws and give them the right to vote. Yes to Women! Yes to Vote!  **What is the Clayton Anti-trust Act? Opinion?**
 * What are your reactions to an all Republican congress? What is the “New Freedom” and League of nation going to do to the United States of America? **
 * What is your opinion on the Protective Labor Laws and the Women Suffrage act? **

I Woodrow Wilson had approved the Clayton- Antitrust act to replace the Sherman Act. This is more specific in defining prohibited practices such as price-fixing, and it forbid the courts from using anti-trust status against labor unions and farmers’ organizations. And I know will announce that I formally back out my approval with the Clayton- Antitrust Act. Thus this Act might be to powerful for such a president to handle in this time. Looking back at what I what was the Clayton Anti-trust act I see that it might have been a bad idea.

 




Letter to the President-Katelyn Pyle

President Woodrow Wilson 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Wilson: I am a typical everyday American woman. There is nothing extraordinary about me, and I live a relatively simple life. I was a happily married woman before the death of my husband which left me three children to care for. Without women’s suffrage I am left with little power for my family. I have no say in the world’s affairs, and there is nobody left to speak for my family. Every day I strive to create a better life for my children; and I would do anything in the world if it meant that they were allowed to grow up happy and healthy. I believe that part of this lies within women’s suffrage. I want my little girl to grow up and have the same rights as my boys will have. Women are worth just as much as men. We live in the world just like men do and deserve the right to make decisions concerning our country. Through the years women have worked to get themselves better education and even held jobs to help take care of our families. I myself manage a job at a factory and take care of myself and children. We pull our weight and help make this country what it is therefore we should have a say in what is going on around us. Why should we maintain jobs that help this country’s economy when we don’t even have a choice in the economic policies it follows. I see something greatly wrong with the picture of America: the land of the free. I don’t feel like a free woman. I live by rules that I don’t help create, and watch somebody else form my life around me. So Mr. President I ask you to help women everywhere. We prove ourselves time and time again. Live up to the idea of the land of the free; let women vote. Sincerely, Miss Margaret Wesleyan

Eulogy of President T. Woodrow Wilson: Woodrow Wilson was born in Stauton, Virginia on December 30th, 1856, the son of a Presbyterian minister. He earned his law degree as well as a doctorate in government and started on an academic career. He advanced to the position of President of Princeton University. In 1910, he decided to enter the political arena and was elected governor of New Jersey. In the three-way presidential election of 1912, he campaigned successfully on a program called the New Freedom, which stressed breaking up concentrated financial power, states's rights and individualism. He received only 42% of the popular vote, but overwhelmingly won the electoral vote becoming our 28th President. In 1919 he suffered a stroke and nearly died. He was nursed by his second wife, Edith Galt. He died on February 3rd, 1924. He is our only President to have a PhD and the only one to be buried in Washington D.C. His most notable quote during his Presidency was, "There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed." During Wilson's first term as President he reorganized the United States' Banking system. He gave workers eight hour work days and prohibited child labor. In 1917, Wilson took our country into World War I, which tipped the balance in Europe in favor of the Allies due to America's fresh troops and abundant supplies. Wilson helped the Versailles Peace Treaty at the end of World War I. He asserted United States' leadership in building a new national order following World War I. On the negative side, in his second term he concentrated almost all of his efforts on international affairs ignoring most domestic issues. This failure to balance domestic and foreign affairs hurt his Democratic party politically, giving Republican Warren Harding the opportunity to win the Presidency in 1920. This gave the country a Republican president and a Congress with a Republican majority. Wilson was not able to convince the United States Senate to ratify the Versailles Peace Treaty. Wilson's attempt to initiate a League of Nations (a precursor to the United Nations) failed to materialize. He believed that foreign affairs should be governed by morality and idealism rather than national interests, but that viewpoint was overly optimistic and it was by the international community. Against the advice of his doctors, he made a national tour to mobilize sentiment for his world view of guaranteeing political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. Not only was his effort a failure, he suffered a stroke during the tour and nearly died.
