THE INTERVIEW.

"Col. Watterson has hit the nail
on the head. Bryan versus Roos-
eveIt-that is the next presidential
Campaign in nutshell.
"The prediction may be accepted
with confidence. Col. Watterson is
a rare combination of the highest
qua tiles of statesman, politician
and journalist. In each individual
branch he may have been equaled,
but few if any figures in American
history have possessed to the same
extent such journalistic Intuition,
such command of eIectioneering
strategy and such statesmanlike
grasp of public problems as does
the gallant SOutherner. When
therefore he asserts that the nom
nation by the Democratic party of
William Jennings Bryan is a GER
tainty and denomination by the
Republican party of Theodore
Roosevelt is a growing probability
he is certainly talking whereof he
knows.
"The issue, indeed, is not one of
platforms, but one of personalities.
1t is Roosevelt versus Bryan, not
Republican principles versus Dem
ocratic principles. As matter of
fact, Mr.. Roosevelt's views as re-
CARDS essentials differ but little

he wish Of the people gladly. Thet
newspapers of note through their
editors are speaking on the suaiect
"wbo will lead the Democratic
party" and thus far there is a
oneness of thought. Mr.. Bryan
has always shown himself honest.
careful thinker, conclusive and
logical reasoner, bold and declara-
tive, and hence his hold on the
people.
Mr.. Watterson in the same inter.
view gives it out as his opinion
that President Roosevelt will be
the accepted candidate of the Re-
publican party; tkat not few
about Washington believe him to
be shaping the situation so as to
force the Republicans to nominate
him. la other words the Republi-
can party has no chance of success
with Bryan as a candidate unless
they nominate Roosevelt.
"Then l think the third term
issue would dwsrft all other issues
and that he would be disastrously
beaten. Third termlsm is no spec
ire. 1t is real force in affairs.
1t was strong enough to down Gen.
Grant, and in my opinion it would
down Mr.. Roosevelt in 1908. II
Mr.. Roosevelt could be elected in
1905 why not in 1912 and every

BUSINESS IS BOOMING
AT WILDWOOD NOW
HOTELS CROWDED
Report That August Is a Very
Dull Month COntradicted by
Many Residents
SUNDAY CROWDS WERE IMMENSE

The continued warm weather of the
past few days has caused the city folks
to seek the cooness of the sea breezes
and crowds have been pouring into the
city-by-the-sea until almost every hotel
and boarding house is filled to over
flowing. Owing to much rain and un-
favorable weather, the early part of the
season was not all that had been hoped
for, but it is thought business has so
rapidly increased during the past few
weeks, that ere the season is closed
1906 will not fall short of previous
years. Every effort has been put forth
to make the place attractive, and their
efforts have proven very gratifying.
Not day passes but that visitors are
heard to remark on the progressive
ness of Wildwood, and the efforts made
on the part of those in charge of affairs
to bring this seashore resort up to the
standard, and in many ways far ahead
places.
1t is said that large percentage of
those owning homes here will not close
their cottages, as heretofore, with the
close of the season, but that they will
remain in them during the winter
months. Living expenses in Wild
wood are not above the average town.
Being on direct railroad line to Phil
adelpha, it is comparatively easy to
bring all that is needed from the city
markets right to ones own door in
Wildwood at very little, if any, extra
cost
1t is said many new cottages will be
built the coming fall and winter, and
that many of them will be occupied a.
soon as completed. Property owners
are enthusiastic over the prospects of
this new city-by-the-sea, and as one
was heard to remark few days ago
at will only be little time when
Wildwood will be known all over the
country as one of the foremost cities on
the Atlantic coast"
SUNDAY AT WILDWOOD
Saturday witnessed crowds hocking
to Wild wood, some for an extended,
and others for over Sunday visits BY
O'Clock in the evening the hotels and
boarding houses were filled to over
flowing, and large number were
forced to seek accommodations outside
of Wildwood for the night
Sunday brought several thousands
more guests to this place, and the day
was said to be the largest that Wild
wood has ever witnessed. The streets
and boardwalk were thronged from
early morning until late at night. A
drilling rain set in at an early hour
in the afternoon, lasting throughout
the evening, which caused many to
leave the several promenades and seek
their boarding places.
The Millville band rendered their
usual music in the forenoon, but on ac-
count of the rain the afternoon and
evening concert was abandoned, as was
also the open air concert.
The surf presented a picture at bath
ing hours the like of which has never
been seen at this popular bathing re-
sort. II is estimated that 5000 bath

The Real Reason He
Was Without Enemies

ssNOU boast Of having no enemies p
The philosopher spoke in a tone
admirably adapted for declama-
tory purposes. Then you have never
dared to stand up for the right against
wrong, you have never protected the
weak against oppression, you have
never even dared to defend your own
rights. The man who says he has no
enemies confesscs himself a coward!"
