Lad 22: Wilson's First Inaugural
Tuesday, March 4, 1913
The recent change in government, that began two years ago when the House of Representatives became Democratic, is now complete as the Senate has also become Democratic. This swift change of power involves a change of point of view and plan; and will be used for the better of the nation as a whole. The effectiveness of government will reflect the strength, beauty and ability of the people, as the body of wealth, industries and individuals will benefit. Problems, however, have and will arise, with the corrosion of gold as an example. The government has now heard the people’s groans at various injustices with squander and over taxation, and these issues shall be addressed. The duty of this new Democratic government is to cleanse, reconsider, restore, and correct the evils of this nation without impairing the good. The flow of economics and private interests will be restored in this great nation, with a banking and currency system based upon the necessity of the Government and the needs of the people. In no other country can there be found a more effective or productive economy. Furthermore, this nation will be leaders into a new day of social equality and health benefits. Improved health and sanitation will be a service to all humanity. This day will be one of dedication over all other things, as we will strive together towards a goal of restoration verses revolution or destruction. Under God and every citizen of the United States of America I will not fail in delivering to the needs of the people, as I call every faithful and patriotic America to follow me into tomorrow.
