BERGEN COUNTY TO
ENTHUSIASTIC KEY
Voters Are Loud in Praise of
the Democratic Cam
didate.
[From a Stan Correspondent. ]

HACKENSACK, Oct. 2S.-This morn
ing there are hundreds Of voters in
Bergen county proclaiming the praises
offWoodrow Wilson and predictions are
heard on all sides that the Princeton
man will carry this county. The lead
srs of the Democratic party in Bergen
ere confident that the Republicans will
be powerless to stop the landslide that
will carry Bergen into the Democratic
column on November s with a hand
some majority. That the Republicans
have a bad case Of nervousness over
Ithe situation they face IS conceded
DIR. Wilson today is MANIFOLD stronger
with the voters than he was before his
visit to the county yesterday and all
sorts of predictions are being made
concerning the size of his majority,
some putting the figure at 1000
At Englewood, Lewis had less thar
300 in the same hall where 900 fought
to hear DR.. Wilson, while at Hacken-
sack the armory was not half filed by
Lewis men, while last night it vas
far too small to accommodate those
clamoring for admission.
Eager to Hear Wilson.
Bergen voters were anxious to hear
DIR. Wilson, while the visit of the Re-
publican candidate caused but little
stir.
When DIR Wilson spoke at .Ruther-
ford at 5 o'clock the hall was damned
to its capacity, and fully one-half of
those present were said to. be Republi-
cans, who will vote for Wilson.
DR.. Wilson spoke for probably thirty
minutes, dwelling upon the needs of
the State at h present time and
awoke great enthusiasm. Hearty bursts
of applause and the remarks overheard
as one mingled with the throngs leav-
ing the hall attested the candidates
popularity.
At Englewood, where he spoke at 8
o'clock, he received one of the most
vigorous greetings accorded him during
this campaign, the applause continuing
for several moments.
The audience was, to a large extent,
a commuters audience, hundreds of
those present not having been at a
political gathering in years.
Referring to the Record letter Incl
lent he said:
Some people have interfered with
my campaign. For instance, a gentle
man wrote me a letter the other day
and asked me a lot of questions, which
7 answered in all my speeches,
so 1t is hardly necessary for me to say
anything more. 1t was an opportunity
for me to set on Record"
A statement to the effect that. the
Democrats of New Jersey and the ma
ton are acting on the new force of
conviction was heartily cheered.
Admits He is Amateur.
Asserting that the voters are uniting
at the present time to do big things,
he said; M
when some Republicans, seeking to
discredit the nomination made by the
: Democrats, spoke of the Democratic
candidate as an amateur they were de-
ining the whole situation-that is ex-
actly the point n that is the point
upon which this election, If. nc, other, is
going to be determined. 1t is going to
be determined by the action of the
amateurs over the professionals"
Cheers which showed the crowd thor
oughly grasped his meaning greeted
his comparison of the character
of the Republican platform with the
definiteness of the Democratic instru-
nent. His words in this comparison
were, in part:
Everything that we have made up
our minds about in this State is in
the Democratic platform. 1t Is not a
platform of the old sort made for men
to strut upon; it is not a boastful plat
form or one that blackguards the other
party. 1t states a program. In pre-
senting our candidate for Governor we
state the things which we will devote
ourselves to if we are intrusted with
the legislative management of the
State, and it goes On and details the
program of reforms which are known
to be desired in New Jersey, not those
desired in California, New Hampshire.
or in the States in which we are not
interested, but those that are known,
needed and recognized in the State Of
New Jersey"
Among the effective points made by
DR.. Wilson in his speech last night
were:
1.-The most delightful thing about our
politics is that a door has slammed
somewhere and the past is shut out.
We are lone with that; we have locked
that door. But we are not going to
talk about it any more; it is ar un-
pleasant subject.
I'VE are going to live in this part OF
