FOR DR.. WILSON



paign speech. explaining at length sew
eral of the platforms of the Democratic
party and calling upon Monmouth
/ Democrats TO give Woodrow Wilson
that same splendid support which they
had given him in 1907. He declared
IF you do that no candidate can ask
more" While Katzenbach was speak,
| ing Mr.. Wilson arrived, accompanied
| by State Chairman Nugent and num-
Der of Monmouth leaders, including w.
A Beecroft. David s. Crater, Melvin
A Rice and Thomas J. Scully.
/ The band broke out with the strains
of the national anthem and the vast
audience stood and cheered, waving
hats, flags and handkerchiefs for fully
three minutes. No candidate could
have desired more enthusiastic
| launching of his Monmouth candidacy
than that received by Mr.. Wilson.
Great merriment was provoked by
an aged woman OF Irish extraction
shouting loudly. THANK God, our next
governor is to be Democrat.
Woodrow Wilson is becoming aceus-
toned to the salutatons he is receiving
upon his every public appearance. The
nervousness which was apparent in Jer-
sey City Wednesday night is no longer
noticeable.
He smilingly awaited the subsidence
of the waves of enthusiasm. during
which three rousing cheers were given,
and he heard himself acclaimed as
governor of New Jersey and President
of the United States.
Opening Sentence AppIaudcd
He drew the applause of the crowd
with his first sentence which was,
1.-The American people are tired Of in
vective and excitement III thtir public
life What they want is careful CON
ference on public questions, exercising
| soberness and reflection"
| To prove that the people OF the eoun-
try are doing their own thinking. MIR,
Wilson cited the recent congressional
and state elections through the ma
ton all of which had been great Demo-
cratic victories The voters had dis
covered. he declared, that the Repub-
lican party had been too long in power
In both nation and State affairs. and
that Republican leaders had led them
far aStray.
While he had only high respect for
the rank and file of the Republican
party lie COulu DOl odA eht Sriit -
garding his opinion of their leaders
they were still consulting their grand
mothers, were standpatters, and had
lost all originality and power of adap-
tation to new and recent situations.
Loud shouts of approval met his asser-
ton that the cry of alarm that was
being heard in this state that it would
be precarious to the business life of the
State to change party management al
Trenton next January was the veriest
"bugaboo." The standpatters in New
! Jersey needed ito wake up
/ Standpattcrs Arc Fighting.
! Great laughter was provoked when,
with that twinkle in his eye which the
newspaper men are getting accustomed
who are travelling through the State
with the candidate, he asked the voters
/ il they were not perfectly aware that
it was the stand. pat element in the
Republican party that was fighting 50
! desperately To retain control of New
Jersey-for certainly from all accounts
the progressive" element in the family
had rough treatment in their recent
family councils at Trenton, when they
framed their stand pat" platform.
lie lduSHleT lildl STettSu HIS dsSei :
tions that the Republican party was
tied with strong strings TO every cor
poration and special interest in both
State and nation, indicated that the
voters of Monmouth had about the
same opinion regarding that situation,
/ and their applause indicated that they
We're in agreement with the doubt the
candidate expressed, whether the Re-
publican party could break these as
sociations as quickly and an effective y
as the situation demanded.
The Democratic party was not tied
to anybody or any interest, and was
the one which would better serve the
people at the present time, DIR. Wilson
! declared.
DIR. Wilson, since the inception of the
campaign. has been very happy in the
use of apt Illustrations to carry home to
| the minds of the listeners the ideas he
has presented. Indeed, IN this respect
he has made for himself reputation
which is certain to be one of his great
est assets in this campaign and any
others In which he may ever be en-
gagged.
| He produced an entirely new one at
the Red Bank meeting to illustrate the
tariff tinkering the last Congress en-
gagged in, and Woodrow Wilson'S apt
comparison of the Aldrich- Payne tariff
will travel wherever speakers need a
strong and effective campaign argument
| this fall.
