Phillipsburg, Oct. 22-'The bat
tie now being waged in this State Is
attracting more attention than any
other in the Union today, because 1t
Is about the last State where an anti
quated and dilapidated machine seeks
to still control the policies of the peo-
pie" was the assertion which brought
a wild cheer from his hearers last
night when Woodrow Wilson ended
a yer1tabie triumphant journey
through Warren county.
The mark of popular approval
given M. Wilson from the time he
entered the county at Washington
until he received his ovation last
night, indicate that he will get
splendid vote in old Warren election
day. In fact, the democratic leaders
claim that he will carry the county
by the largest majority ever given to
candidate for governor, dozen of
the leaders stating that 1000 would
be a conservative estimate of the
majority which he will receive in the
county.
Woodrow Wilson was given his
first opportunity yesterday to meet
the democrats face to face, and it Is
a conservative estimate that he adj
dressed $500 voters at the various
places where meetings were held.
Senator Johnston Cornish, of Wash
ington, was the pilot of the party,
which consisted of ten decorated au-
tomobiles that made a run of about
ninety miles through the county,
Five hundred people crowded into
the hall at Washington at Ii O'clock
to hear the candidate. He was given
a hearty reception. In Hackettstown

of the voters greeted htsn at Oxford
Furnace.
His final speech u the afternoon
was in the Court House at Belvidere,
where all who could be jammed into
the court room heard the candidate.
Judge Morrow and Senator Cor
nish, who have been in politics here
for thirty years, said that they had
never seen in all that time such an
outpouring of the voters of the
county to hear any candidate, and
after the meeting last night were
most sanguine that Warren county
would give record breaking major
ity for Woodrow Wilson
His sturdy sentiments expressed
throughout the county awakened the
warmest manifestations of strong APP
proval by the enthusiastic listeners.
The Democratic Club from Lafayette
College, sixty strong, filed one end
of the gallery at the Ortygia Hall
and whooped things up in lively
fashion with songs and cheers while
the crowd gathered.
Before the candidate arrived every
inch of space was occupied and it
was estimated that l 800 were cram
med in the auditorium and lobbies.
The enthusiasm had q marked infiu-
ence on Mr. Wilson, who, despite the
arduous day and his several speech

the night and made a mastery adj

that no one could mistake the signs
of this campaign, which showed the
earnestness of the voters of the state.
His opening sentences made

red character of their stewardship,
and the Board of Guardians, who, In
New Jersey, had fallen into the error
of thinking the destinies of the State
and its legislation were their private
ownership, forgetting the rights of
the people. In this connection his
words were:

I can, at the very outset of this speech

ing in politicals, and the kind of thing,
am sure, that we have all got tired
of. I can illustrate it in what was dis
closed few years ago in the insurance
world. You know there are a number
of great insurance companies in this
country, which have done great and
on the whole, a very benefeient bust

life insurance; we believe it is very
proper and proved way of providing for
