From a STAFF Correspondent
PHILLIPsBURG. oct. 22.-1t is not
probable that DR.. Woodrow Wilson
will ever 70 get the tour which he
made yesterday through the towns and
villages of Warren county. The candi-
date was partially prepared for a
warm greeting. as Warren county is
one of the strongest Democratic eoun-
ties of the state, but the Warmth of
the reception as evinced by the mag
nitude of the crowds and the spon-
taneous outbreaks of cheers and APP
plause vent far beyond even the most
~sanguine expectations of the party
managers.
As there is always enthusiasm in
numbers, SO DR.. Wilson seemed 10
catch the enthusiasm and the spirit
of the followers of Democracy and
made a number of short epigramatic
and telling speeches from the auto
mobile in which ne Travelled. receiv-
ing at the conclusion of each address
many assurances of loyal support of
the Democrats. while man Republi-
cans were introduced tn the candidate
and assured him of their support also
The success OF yesterdays trip is
largely due to the energetic and re
sourceful management of Senator
Johnston Cornish, of Washington, as
sisted by at least fifty of the more
prominent Democrats of the county
These men, who might have been
called the reception committee. met
Or. Wilson at Washington in the
morning at II o'clock, on his arrival
there from Remington.
Party Forced TO Walk.
The party struck some rough roads
in the trip across, the country, sec
tion being well-nigh impossible, eX-
cept for the heavy machines, and Dr.
Wilson and those accompanying him
were compelled TO take TO the fields,
climbing fences and making a pedes-
trian trip for about two miles. Al
several ~farmhouses the armer rushed
out and grasped the candidates hand
and assured him of their support.
That 1t was to be a gala day in
Democratic Warren was evident from
the minute the party of the candidate
re .ched the edge Of Washington, for
down the streets through which the
party Travelled to the hotel many resi-
e. dances were decorated with fia8s and
women and children stood on from
verandas and waved tiny American
flags and cheered the candidate as ne
passed through the streets. The
warmth of the greeting evidently
touched DIR. Wilson, but he was much
more deeply impressed when arriving
at the hotel he found the street
crowded with four or five undred
cheering men. Senator Cornish rushed
him into the hall, where Mr.. Wilson
made his first short stop of the day,
and was cheered TO the echo.
Quick Run to Hnckettstown.
Leaving Washington, there were ten
automobiles in the party, and quick
time was made over the splendid mac
adam road to Hackettstown where
similar decorations were evident on all
sides. The town band played Hail to
the Chief" as the automobiles stopped
before the hotel, and, after shaking the
hands of several hundred voters, Mr..
Wilson, standing in his automobile,
made a talk of twenty minutes, ex-
planning the issues of the campaign
and stating that it was necessary,
under the conditions, TO ask them to
vote for himself on the Sth day of No
vember. Dinner was taken in Hacketts-
town by the entire party, and while
there DR.. Wilson held an informal re-
ception in the p~arlors of the hotel.
A eross-country run through the
beautiful farm lands of Warren
brought the party to Blairstown at
o'clock, where the village band wei
coined the candidate with its stirring
music as he pulled up in front of the
hotel. 1t is stimated that fully l,2ol
people heard DR.. Wilson speak here
The Rev. Isaac Condit, of the Presby.
terrain Church, a graduate of Prince
ton. shook DIR. Wilson's hand at this
place and assured him that practically
all the clergymen of the county woulc
vote for him.
A quick run carried the party to tins
village of Hope. Here several hundret
people we're gathered in front of thu
quaint stone hotel called "Morayiar
Inn DIR. Wilson was introduced
shook hands with many and made
brief speech.
The next stop was at oxford, wher'
several hundred voters were awaitin,
the arrival Of the candidate. TIL
music Of the band was heard as thu
party dashed into town. and here DIR
Wilson made another brief address, anC
the cheers which he got assured hin
that the returns from oxford on cleo
ton night would he on the right sid
OF the slate.
The twelve miles of road to Belvider'
were quickly passed, and DR.. Wilson
faced 4. the court house a crowd whicl
taxed the room to its capacity. Hi
remarks. necessarily brief, were non
the less earnest; and that the voter
were won was very evident from tn
remarks which were overheard as tn
crowd passed out of the hall after tn
meeting.
