MORRIS CO. TODAY
GIVES HEED TO
WOODROW WILSON
Last of Il Counties Visited in
Journey of EIOquence by
Great Democrat.
DEFINES TRUE MEANING
OF REAL PROGRESSIVE
Charms Even q. O. P. Hearers in
Audience of | 500, Whom
Rain Can't Deter.

Woodrow Wilson is making a tour Of
Morris county today, and indications
are he will address large crowds at
the three places where he is scheduled
to speak.
Morris Is the last of the twenty-one
counties to be cisited by the Democratic
candidate, and the Democrats have
prepared a royal reception for the
Princeton man. Mr.. Wilson arrives in
this city at 2 o'clock and will be taken
by automobile to Madison, where he
will speak at 3 o'clock.
At s o'clock he will speak at Dover
and hen rush down to Morristown,
where he will speak at Oils.
Today Woodrow Wilson has a firmer
grip on Essex county. Montclair and
Orange voters have taken the measure
of the Democratic candidate and are
committed to the righteous cause
which he is leading in this State for
economic and wise government.
The remarkable thing about the two
great audiences he addressed last night
was the very large proportion of Pro-
gressive Republicans they contained.
who were noticed to applaud his telling
assertions as earnestly as did his Demo-
cratic compeers.
Essex gave Woodrow Wilson e splen-
did welcome when he addressed two
large and enthusiastic meetings at
Montclair and Orange. The hearty
welcome accorded the candidate assured
him of the sympathy of the voters who
heard him make his telling M earnest
pleas for q change of stewardship in
this State on next Tuesday and to give
the Democratic party an opportunity to
work out the program which is so
definitely outlined in its platform.
Commuters Conspicuous In Audience.
Both his audiences last night had a
large representation of the commuter
vote, and in Montclair it is stated open
" that Woodrow Wilson will get a
great vote from the commuters, and
this will also occur in. Glen Ridge,
Bloomfield and the Oranges. The de-
lection among the Republicans in the
commuters zone will be a material gain
10 Mr.. Wilson, and it is predicted today
there will not be The usual large n
safe Republican majority lin those out
lying districts which COMPOSE the
suburbs of Newark"
The Montclair meeting was the
largest political gathering ever held
in hat town, fully $500 pesons being

was, a meeting distinguished by sew
eral things; one was the large num-
her Of women present with their hus-
hands: another, the evident earnest
spirit which pervaded the great throng.
and third, the mighty volume of in
dorsement indicated by the long sus-
tanned hand-clapping which time ana
again during the candidates speech
continued for several minutes.
The attendance was a revelation to
the Democratic leaders of Montclair,
for it must be remembered it rained
heavily, and the large proportion or
the great crowd were compelled to
walk to the meeting place. If 1t had
been a fair and propitious night the
crowd would have been far larger,
At Montclalr Mr.. Wilson made one
of the best speeches of the remarkable
series he has made throughout the
State. n the Montclair listeners IN
dorsed the statements of the Princeton
man in a manner which Indicated ne
had made good withthem in the speech
and they would make good with him
with the votes on Tuesday next.
After a brief introduction by Harold
NJ. Anderson, of the editorial staff OF
the New York Sun, Woodrow Wilson
arose and was accorded an ovation by
'lMontclair voters which continued for
fseveral moments He began by asking
his auditors if they realized that some
thing had occurred in the political life
ef state and nation. and that the pres
2 ent campaign was not for the purpose
OF commencing men so much as 1t was
for commencing the purposes which
the parties and candidates repre-
scented?
He made a lucid and telling exposi-
ton of the term 'progressiveness" in
politics, and this was one of those
presentations of truth which created
great enthusiasm. He said in part:
woodrow wilson's speech.
1--WE have heard a great zeal In re-
cent months of progressive Republi-
cans and of progressive Democrats. and
of progressive men of this, that and the
other creed or persuasion. I suppose
that the implication is that there are
also retrogressive Republicans and
retrogressive Democrats and men of
every sort or other who wish to stand
still or to pull things back to a period
