"One or two elections don't count in a lifetime, and those of us who believe in things have enlisted for the rest of our lives. Do the gentlemen who for the sake of maintaining their own power resist these changes suppose that we are going to sit in the game for any shorter time than they are? Whatever may be the limitations of individual human life, there are men so moved by conviction, so confident in the

hope of reform, so certain of the legitimate and just demands of the people, that they can fight these battles with the debonair air of those who see the future, and thus who know there is nothing that can stop the heroic progress of the American people in the movement toward the control of their own affairs."-Woodrow Wilson.
