world “"17 happened during his ad-
ministration and because during that
war he wielded great power. lt
the high ideas he held out were
adopted. the world would not be in
the chaotic condition it is today:
Judge James T. Hubbcll—-Wilson
was a man of great intellect; he had
‘1 Strong grip on the mother tongue.
He Was a man of broad vision and
lofty ideals with great skill and abil-
ity in advancing these ideas. The
world would be better oif today it his
ideals had been adopted.
Charles II. Dilworth—Ilistory will
write Wilson as one of the greatest
men the world has ever known.
Attorney Edward J. Quinlan said
—1 am one of the army or admirers
of our deceased Commander-in-Chief
an til call him such because i can
think of him in no other way than
as a part of the host of heroes who
gave their lives in the war. Ills
pcacctul ending was consonant with
the ideal for which he fought. There
can be no question about his pro-
olnincnce in history. Indeed his
tigurc is looming large against the
fading outlines of sclllsh politicians
on both sides of the water who be-
trayed him for personal reasons.
Albert E. \Vlnchcstcr—ln the
passing of cx-Prcsidcnt Wilson, our
country has lost one of its greatest
typical Americans. who was strong
in his convictions and was unafraid
to force them to an issue when he
believed that ho was right.
Christian Swartz—l consider ox-
Prssidcnt Wilson one of tho sblest

the vision of a soar to bring about

world's differences through the

Judge Nehemiah Cundcc—Ho was

historians will cltc him in his prop-2:-
place in tile history of our country.
Joseph Davis—I have no doubt
but that he has been one of the
leading men of the century. not
alone of this country, but of the
world. and that he has bcun one 0-.
the grout presidents that‘we have
t:\('l‘ had.
lav. Fred. Jacobs, pastor of the
South Norwalk Congregational
church—History will record Mr.
Wilson as our strongest and greatest
president. A man who had a num-
hvr of bitter enemies and a host of
staunch friends, just as all our great
presidents have had.
Judgo Joseph it. Taylor—-1"rom
an intellectual standpoint. he coni-
parcs favorably with anyone who
has ever been president of Him
country. He had very high ideals.
some of which he was able to carry
into execution. The fact that he
could not carry some other! into a
condition of completion doubtless
had a great deal to do with his
breaking.
Attorney Jesse T. Dunbar—It Is
unlikely that any American now liv-
ing will ever have any just appre—
ciation or understanding of the po-
sition in history of Woodrow Wilson.
Called upon to wield great powers
and borne down by a. more killing
weight of responsibility than any
other of our presidents, he W1“ be
in the eyes of future Americans of
clearer vision and sympathy. the

presidents, and by tor the saddest

Here are some opinions of the ex-president gathered by the
\Voodrow \Vllson was one of our
greatest Presidents. but it is ‘too
bad that a man ha sto wait until
his death to become as famous as
he will become in the history of
our country. ’
Judge George II. Vosburgh-l’ be-
lieve in giving credit where credit
is due. \Voodrow \Vllson was a
smart man and I admired his intel-
ligcnce and forelight.
Sergeant Frank Raymond—~Wood
row \Vllson was a wonderful man,
and the nation will suifer by his
loss.
Attorney Ira. O. Gregory—Presi-
dent Wilson like many other leaders
during great struggles has been for
the time being apparently beaten or
discredited because of the personal
animosity caused by the struggle. yet
as time passes the world will realize
more than we can that the late Pres-
ident Wilson was a capable and great
man. He had the courage to ad-
vance new ideas and to fight for
them and ‘1 believe from his ideas
the nations of the world will come
to some mutual it not definite agree-
ment as to their security and pros-
pcrity.
Postmaster C. Irving Byington—
\Vilson was a great executive and a
man of high ideals.
LcGrsnd Raymond—I was sorry to
learn of the death of Ext-President
