LAD #28: Wilson's First Inaugural Address

On March 4th 1913, President Woodrow Wilson presented his first inaugural address. In it he discusses how the democrats gained control by winning the majority in the Senate as well as in vice president and president.  He goes on to explain that this is more than just a party success in Washington, but instead a success for the country as a whole.  He then talks about the citizens of the nation and that it will be one of his goals to help them do good, and steer away from evil.  Wilson strongly believes that government's job is to look out for the welfare of its people and he says that he will try to make sure that this happens.
