his sreeches in this section of the
state on the power of the boss, stat
ing again and again that the only is-
sue of the present conflict Is to deter
mine whether New Jersey shall have
leaders o, public thought and senti-
msnt or whether they will continue
to have a gang of selfish and dis
reputable bosses, who will shape and
control legislation simply for their own
selfish ENDS and the benefit OF certain
special interests.
VIII Play No Fayorites.
No statement has been happier than
the one which DIR. Wilson made sew
eral times yesterday in his short talks
that II elected governor he would be
the governor of all the people OF New
Jersey to conduct the government In
their interests, and in their interests
only. using party and party coherents
for that service. If the Democratic
party does not understand 1t that way,
then | want to say TO you very frankly
that tho Democratic party ought not
to elect me SOY When l WAS APP
preached with regard to the nomina-
ton for the g~overnorship I understood
it to be distinctly represented to me
that the purpose of those who asked
my leave to use my name was that !
should be invited to take the leader
ship of the Democratic party In the
state. If they do not understand 1t
that way hey ought to withdraw their
indication on the eighth day OF No
vember."
This conception of his leadership and

has taken immensely with the people
of southern Jersey, who have been so
long cringlng before political bossism
that Ii is like a refreshing breeze on
a hot day OF oppression to V q man
seeking public Office come to them with
such a brave, plain, straightforward
and earnest expression Of his views.
The statement DR.. Wilson has made
In so many of his meetings that he
was not seeking the gubernatorial chair
for any personal honor or glory, but
simply because he feels an earnest
call to serve the people, has also been
most favorably received by the indie
pendent voters of this section of the
State
Faction Feuds Aid Wilson.
There is every reason to believe that
the voters of Gloucester, Salem and
Cumberland counties viii give him
small m~aJorities On election day; this
being made especially probable because
oil the bitter factionol feuds existing in
these counties between the Republicans
themselves. These fractional fights will
II all probability not only give Wilson
a majority, but be the direct cause for
the election of several Democratic As
sembIymen and the Senator in. Cumber-
land, Atlantic, Camden and Burlington
counties are exhibiting such "a keen in
terest and strong appreciation for the
robust and manly attitude of DR.. VIII
son that the Republican majorlties
which these counties gave Fort two
wears ago will, without doubt, be
greatly reduced In size. South Jersey
will send up on election night the
smallest Republican majority she has
ever sent in many years, and 1t is the
knowledge of this, combined with the
additional knowledge that probably no
county in North Jersey, except Passalc,
will give a safe Republican plurality.
which inspires the Democratic leaders
and the newspapermen with the con-
viction that Woodrow Wilson will be
the peoples choice.
Last night in the Opera House in
this town DIR. Wilson faced another
audience which crowded every avail
able inch of space and cheered the
statements of the candidate to the echo.
There was a SNAP and go to the meet
ing which old citizens say has not char
acterized a political gathering here in
many years, and was a marked con-
