Duluth, Minnesota – Leading Labor Paper Rejoices
From The Labor World of November 11, 1916:
WOODROW WILSON RE-ELECTED
IN HOTTEST FIGHT SINCE
CIVIL WAR
The election of President Wilson at this writing seems certain. Considering the character of the opposition to his re-election the victory is wonderful. The power of plutocracy in America has been destroyed. Special privilege is doomed. The forces that have strangled justice and robbed the people for 50 years back are crushed. A new nation is born. A new freedom permeates the atmosphere. Human rights will take precedence over the claims of the dollar.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THEIR FACES TURNED TOWARD THE MORNING SINGING NEW SONGS OF LIBERTY.
The intelligent men and women who could not be purchased and whose souls are free saved the nation for mankind. Woodrow Wilson returns to the White House unobligated to a single sinister influence. He is free, as he always has been, to continue the great fight for human emancipation. Social and economic justice are assured to all.
GREAT IS THE AMERICAN NATION, AND GREATER ARE ITS PEOPLE.
WILLIAM E. McEWEN.
