Editing Preparedness Movement (section)

===Wilson appeals to the people===
Wilson, in deep trouble, took his cause to the people in a major speaking tour in early 1916, a warm-up for his reelection campaign that fall. Wilson seems to have won over the middle classes, but had little impact on the largely ethnic working classes and the deeply isolationist farmers. Congress still refused to budge, so Wilson replaced Garrison as Secretary of War with [[Newton Baker]], the Democratic mayor of Cleveland and an outspoken opponent of preparedness. (Garrison kept quiet, but felt Wilson was "a man of high ideals but no principles.")<ref>{{cite book|author=Richard Striner|title=Woodrow Wilson and World War I: A Burden Too Great to Bear|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LCEsAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA69|year=2014|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield Publishers|page=69|isbn=978-1442229389}}</ref>
