Excerpt from A People Awakened: The Story of Woodrow Wilson's First Campaign Which Carried New Jersey to the Lead of the States in the Great Movement for the Emancipation of the Government Then came Wilson, and the story of how this strong man aroused the latent energies of the people of New Jersey is here told. It is an unusual story for America, but Woodrow Wilson is an unusual man, and it did not require many days of his new kind of campaigning to show the people the stuff of which he was made. It was very quickly discovered that they had been waiting for him, waiting for him for years, waiting for a man and a leader who could show them the way. That he has done so 1s a story familiar to nearly every man in America. Of his struggle against the bosses of his own party after he had won his signal victory: of his long, hard battle for the rights of the plain citizen in his first legislative session: of his second campaign for the retention of the grip of the people upon their government in New Jersey another story may be told, but here is presented in plain, historic fashion the story of his achievement in stirring the people into animation and fighting mood.
