Excerpt from Draft President Wilson: A Patriotic Appeal to Every Loyal American
The Government of the United States was founded "to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for a common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty."
The first National Assembly of France declared that "ignorance, neglect or contempt of human rights are the sole causes of public misfortune and corruptions of Government."
We are engaged in a world war. Mankind is facing a momentous crisis. America"s heart and hopes are in France.
Our firesides glow with mingled reflections of tender memories and glorious achievement. Our family altars are lit with the prayers of trusting mothers, anxious wives and wondering children. The blood, the fortunes and the energies of a mighty peace loving and God fearing people are pledged to the success of the cause "over there." All to uphold the glory of God and the rights of man.
With a prayerful and patriotic desire to engrave upon the heart of every American a full conception and realization of the sacred duty imposed upon all as citizens of the greatest of all Republics, I submit this effort to the conscientious consideration of my countrymen.
