LAD #28: Wilson's First Inaugural

          Wilson's victory in 1912 was largely a result of the split of republican votes between Taft and Theodore Roosevelt running for the Bull-Moose Party. Wilson was the most progressive of the three, and his first inaugural address went as follows:
           Wilson first addresses the now complete control of the legislature and executive branch of the Democrats. He suggests this is not just a success for a party, but a success for the nation, as now there would be limited disagreement between the branches of government, and change would be easier. he states that he is proud of the nations industrialization, and it is a good thing  and makes the nation prosperous. However, with good inevitably comes bad. industry has turned sour in some cases and has taken a toll on the people. This must be reformed. we must not forget our morals, and so, the bad must be changed, however,, this must be done in a way that does not inhibit the good. Wilson promises new economic policies to help the public as well as increased attention and conservation of natural resources, and improved health standards, particularly in the food industry. He promises reform, not failure.
