LAD #28: Wilson's Inauguration

The democrat in the 1912 election was elected as president and that man was Woodrow Wilson. Wilson starts off by talking about a new government. With a fresh look, including a democratic government and a democratic house of representatives, this change is a step forward where these civilians should be beneficial for a government like this. This speech lead to the next topic of the big businesses. Wilson talks about the many ways of getting rid of these trusts and monopolies, just like Theodore Roosevelt. His talk would later be proved as he initiated the Clayton-Anti Trust Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, and the Keaton-Owen Act of 1916. Wilson's first step of becoming president was one that should not be forgotten.
