WARNING FOR MR.. WILSON.

The Newark Evening News sound
ed a timely warning for Woodrow
Wilson In the event of his election,
by pointing out a significant omission
from the reports of Mr.. Wilson's
Trenton speech as reported In the
Newark Stars, papers owned by
James Smith, Jr. In the course of
his address at Trenton Mr.. Wilson is
quoted as saying: AZ
my objection to the republican
party Is the partnerships that they
have got into without any intent to
do the things for which they are re-
sponsible, and one of the things Is
our perverted sense OF thought. For
example, if you tell a candidate who
desires Office that certain interests
were instrumental in obtaining the
nomination for him, and after he IS
elected something up that al
fects those interests, he says: NOW,
these men helped me to get that
termination and, although I did not
promise them anything, l know they
were influential in obtaining it.
Therefore, he will let up and will
make concessions"
Continuing, Mr.. Wilson said:
$50 far as / am concerned, ] have
not been told that anybody was re
sponsibie for my nomination, II
rasybody did bring it about, I am
GLAD to say ! do not know who 1t
was. therefore l am not under that
subtle Influence to anybody.
The last paragraph was not pub
lished in the Newark Stars, although
both the morning and evening edi-
lions claimed to have given the
speech In full. Commenting on this
lhe Newark News says;
IF President Wilson cherishes the
belief hat in the event of his elec-
ton no demands will be made upon
him by men claiming to have
brought about his nomination inc
election he Is certain to be speedily
undeceived. The demands will be
made and the names OF the men who
will make them are known to every
person in New Jersey who keeps post
ed on political affairs. The names Of
James Smith Jr., Robert Davis and
George Harvey have been associated
with Mr.. Wilson'S candidacy from
the first, and whether Mr.. Wilson
knows 1t or not, these are the men
who claim to be responsible fer his
nomination and who will lose no
time in foreclosing their claims in
the event of his election.
"If the people generally had not
that faith In Mr.. Wilson's patriotism,
honesty and perspicuity which con-
vinces them Ihat, II elected, he will
rise superior to the influences that
accomplished his nomination, he
would not have the ghost of a
chance. 1t Is because they believe
that he will prove a disappointment
to his political sponsors that a large
element of the independent elector-
ate will give him their suffrages and
1t is therefore especially gratifying
that he has taken such an early OPP
portunity to that he holds
himself free from responsibility to
any one for his nomination and that
he will be controlled by no subtle
influences.
Mr.. Wilson has the reputation of
being a strong man. In the event OF
his election he will need all his
strength to preserve the independ-
ence of action which he proclaims.
He will be approached in subtle and
insidious ways and many will be the
schemes devised to practice upon his
lnexperience with practical politics.
THE suppression of his d~eclara-
ton Of independence should be suffl-
cient notice to Mr.. Wilson of what he
may expect from certain of his party
leaders. At any rate he has been
~iorewarned, and to a man of his
ealiber and in his position to be fore
warned should also mean to be fore
armed"
