SALEM, Oct. 26.-No other eonclu-
SION can be drawn from DR.. Woodrow
Wilson'S = tour through Salem county
yesterday than that it has Insured that
county for the Democratic column on
the night of November s, when the
verdict of the jury Of the voters win
be rendered. Far surprising any well
come any political candidate has ever
been given in this county was hat
which DR.. Wilson received Yesterday
as he made his tour down through the
county to this place, where he spoke
last night to the largest political audi
ence which has gathered here in years.
He left Camden at 10 o'clock, making
his first stop at Elmer, where h spoke
to a large crowd of voters. being in
troduced to several hundred by name.
At Woodstown a large ompany had
collected, and ii was there hat Dr..
Wilson made a brief exposition of the
views which he has been so earnestly
preaching during the four weeks of
this campaign, and at the conclusion
of his talk he received a hearty greet
ing, Pedricktown and Pennsgrove
were also visited during the afternoon,
and at both of these places the great
est interest was shown by the voters
in the sentiments of Mr.. Wilson, and
hundreds of voters assured him of their
earnest support and hearty sympathy
in the gallant fight which he is making
to redeem New Jersey from the corfup-
ton Of machine politics.
Republican leaders, Fearful.
This county gave a very small ma
jority for John Franklin Fort, the Re
publican nominee for governor three
years ago, but 1t has been conceded by
a number of prominent Democratic
leaders, as well as by some Republicans,
that DIR. Woodrow Wilson has a splen.
did chance to carry this county by a
small majority. The most sanguine
Republican leaders do not lain the
county by more than 500 for Vivian NJ.
Lewis, while the closest observers of
the political situation here at this time
concede that it is more probable that
the county will go to DR.. Wilson by
about $50 majority. There is also a
chance hat the Democratic candidate
for assembly will be elected, as the re-
suit Of the Democratic sentiment which
is now so pronounced in this county.
Nowrey, who Is the candidate for Con-
gress in this district against Louden.
slayer, is making an energetic canvass
and there Is every reason to believe that
he will have a small majority over the
stand patter" congressman when the
votes are counted, which will register
the peoples rebule to Cannonism and
the Aldrich-Payne tariff. Certainly all
day long yesterday, as DIR. Wilson, his
travelling companions and the crowd of
newspepermen made their trip through
this county, there were indications on
every hand that the voters of Salem
are ready to Join with the people of
this State. who have peer stirred by the
magnificent campaign which this new
style of candidate for governor has
been making, who has called upon
the voters to redeenz this State from
the alliance of the present political ma
chine with special interests. If there
is one thing above another which this
campaign has demonstrated beyond all
| doubt IL is that the voters have a ire
mendous admiration for any candidate
who is sturdy and brave enough to
come before the people with a straight
forward and earnest declaration of his
views on all public questions and is
willing to abide by the decision Of the
voters. which Woodrow Wilson always
compares to the decision of the jury.
wins Friends in South Jersey.
His statement at Camden Monday
night that the voters would have TO
take "a sportsman's chance with him"
caught with the crowd. and it is very
evident that the people of South Jersey
have sized DIR. Wilson UP as a man
whom they can trust, and 1t will not be
surprising If several OF the strong Re-
publican counties of this tier will give
small majorities to the Democratic AN
di6ate, while 1t is generally admitted
that every county VIII give a great
ly reduced vote for the Republican
candidate, as a result Of the brilliant
campaign which Or. Wilson has waged
in the three visits which he has made
to the southern section of the State,
always declared to be the enemy's ter
ritory. 1t has remained for Woodrow
Wilson to win a hearing in this section
of the State, which has far eclipsed
anything that any other Democratic
candidate has even gotten In past years.
There is every reason to believe that
the Republican organizations In the
different counties have a bad case of
nervousness over the prospects, for
they cannot accurately gage the
strength of DIR. Wilson as a vote-get-
ter, and they are fearful that there
will be 9 tremendous breaking away
of the independent voters OF their party
who have become disguised with the
record which the Republican machine
has made in the three successive legis-
latures during Governor Forts term of
office of broken and violated promises.
DR.. Wilson has placed emphasis in
