Woodrow Wilson delivered his first Inaugural Address on March 4th 1913. He won the election of 1912 as a Democrat. He starts of by noting how life in America has improved and that many people are working hard to lessen pain and suffering, but there will still be suffering. He even notes that the government itself has disregarded human life in its selfish desire for economical advancements. Since the Democrats are in power, Wilson promises to cleanse these practices. Issues that need to be resolved include, the financial system, tariffs on trade, Big Businesses, and workers' rights. Sanitation in order to protect citizens' health is also necessary. He ends by stressing that the people will benefit because of the Democrats taking power.
