Wilson is a ready debater and quite
able to hold his own in the give-and-

opposition having attempted to De

an amateur in politics, he promptly
accepted the classification and pro

professionals said he, lis in sport for

MY Dear Irving:

been the case with us; and the admir-
alton which I felt for 0 when | was
a boy, has been succeeded by graft
tude for steady and intrepid kindness
now hat I am no 1Onger one.
Although 7 have had better oppor-
tunities to know YOU than the world,
by whom you are valued so highly, /
should not have ventured to make q
public display Of our acquaintance
ship under any other circumstances
than those by which it is drawn forth
at present. / am under obligations to
you beyond the common kindnesses
between friends of long standing.
which is fitting / should acknowledge.
In the little comedy of Charles the
Second, / have referred to the assist
ance you gave me, without venturins
to violate your injunction with re-
gard to the c~oncealment of your
name. But that aid has been repeat
ed to such an extent in the present
work, as to render it imperative upon
me to offer you my thanks publicly,
and to beg you will suffer me to dedi-
cate it TO n from whose pen it has
received its highest value. ] only re-
greet 1t Is not in my power to make
a more adequate return for the many
encouragements amid discomfort,
which you have so frequently and so
spontaneously bestowed upon.

4 NEW FIGURE IN
NATIONS POLITICS
Woodrow Wilson'S Equipment
and His Campaign in New
Jersey
(ReyieW of ReVieWS.)

New jersey is the scene this tall,
Of a political campaign in which every
citizen Of the State is keenly interest,"
ed. but not Jerseynlen alone: the
whole country has fixed its gaze on
New Jersey as never before. Inc
not only Of New YORK
and Philadelphia. but throughout the
Union, are probably giving more space
to New Jersey affairs at the present
moment than in any previous cam
paign OF that State within the mem
DRY of living men. From the limbo
of parochial politics, New Jersey mas
suddenly emerged; for the first tune
in many years her concerns have a
place in the Nations thoughts. rms
Is because the States most eminent
citizen has accepted the nomlnatloh
of the minority party for the govern
orship and is actively seeking election
to that high office. From the ~
when President Woodrow Wilson, or
Princeton University, was nominated
by the Democratic State Convention
at Trenton to succeed the republican
Governor, Fort, it was everywhere
foreseen that the State OF
1910 would mark an epoch in New
Jerseys political history. This was
notably an instance OF the office
seeking the man and very distinctly
an instance of success il the search;
for DR.. Wilson's equipment is excep-
ttonal, his illness for the governorshlp
Is unqueStiOned.
The fact that a man Of such en-
gaging qualities as a leader willingly
resigns the presidency of Princeton 20
challenge the supremacy Of one OF
the most strongly intrenched party or
CARNATIONS in the country, does not
fail to impress itself or the American
imagination. 1t is this that makes the
New Jersey canvass interesting-not
the money thai is being spent by the
ms or the outs" not the Well-worn
campaign shibboleths of either party,
not the crarges Of extravaganza in
State administration; for all these
things are AIKEN for granted. The
one thing that is new is a personality,
and upon that personality IS focused
just now the attention of the whole
country

Government by Public Opinion in
New Jersey

Perhaps the most significant fea-
ture Of MIR. Wilson'S speaking tours
since the opening speech at Jersey
City on the evening of September 20,
has been the clear and effective illu-
mination that he has thrown on mat
ters of State policy. His appeal has
been TO mems intelleCts and not at all
TO their emotions. His first concern
has been to lead men TO think, and to
think to some purpose, about their
common interests. That much-abuSed
