WAsHraJTos, Nov. 14.-Representattye
McAdoo Of the Jersey City district OF
New Jersey, called ct the executive man
sion today. As he entered the library
the President, who was seated at his desk
examining some papers, hastily rose to
his feet and advanced towards the talented
young scot-Irish.American politicia !, and
exclaimed;
"All hats on TO New Jersey. I bow TO
the banner state Of the Democracy of the
north" simultaneously warmly exterd-
ing his hand. The representative Of the
Seventh district, at the request OF the
President, gave him o review OF the plan
and prosecution Of the campaign In his
state aud adverted to some matters In
which the President must have recognized
his own misplaced confidence in men and
to some errors of omission, II not Of
commission.
Representative McAdoo, in giving ex-
preston TO his own views tonight said
.'The difference between the fight in New
jersey and other sections was that In our
state We made the contest on the Mills
bill and nothing else. The outcome OF
the campaign, strange as IL may seem,
has demonstrated that the farmers whom
we thought would be with us were really
against MS and tho artisans whom we
thought would bs against us were our
friends. This was anomalous under the
circumstance but it was true. am not
disposed 20 oriticise the President's acts,
but am Of the opinion that II be had
pursued the Bane course In soma other
sections that he did in New Jersey, the
result might have been different.
There Senator Mcpherson and my.
self were allowed great discretion. /
think the PreBident DOW aGes that he had
given too much attention TO theorists and
political pretenders to the exclusion Of
practical politicians. Nov, we know that
certain politician in Pennsylvania began
the campaign by saying that the Demo
crhts would carry Pennsylvania and then
came down by claiming that the Repub-
ican majority would not exceed 10000.
This is what he knew about the situation
In his own state, and he parsistently kept
telling the President all his. Whether
the President believed il or not / do not
know, but think he formed very clear
estimate OF him before the campaign had
progfeBsed very fsr.n The inference is
that the New Jersey representative 70.
fefred to Mr.. Scott Of Erie.
MIR. McAdoo, continuing, said tThere
is no doubt that the Republican cam
paign was better managed than ours
Quay kept our people running after
blufs and fighting feints while he was
doing his main fighting where il was all
the time doing aome good. He was con-
tinualy advancing dis main line while
our forces wore ekirmlshing around in
every part Of the Geld without ubstential
results. Fighting political campaigns ia
like fighting On army. You must make
your plans and adhere 20 them and not
let your enemy make plans for you and
then fight you to suit himself. Now take
the campaign Ia Rev York. All over the
interior the Republicans had their ablest
stump speakers, while we, Ia most in-
stances, had young lawyers.
Ofcourse, the dissensions In New York
city weakened US somewhat and ia
Brooklyn We were cut seriously. They
were antagonismH there which might have
been avoided. Bliss was badly and IN
necessarily treated. presume mis- friends
were not as active as they might have
