DOVER, Nov. 4-This afternoon
woodrow Wilson takes a swing
through the eastern part of Middlesex
county, speaking at Perth Amboy at
8 o'clock and her going to Carteret,
where he will speak at 9;15. He Will
go to Perth Amboy by automobile from
Princeton, and will return to Princeton
tonight for rest at his own home be-
fore he goes to Essex county for his
last work of the campaign tomorrow
afternoon and evening.
woodrow Wilson demonstrated yes
terday afternoon that he was a capital
rainy-day campaigner and that the
condition of the atmosphere makes no
difference with the quality of his
speeches. Neither do the inconvenience
of a storm in any ann affect his
splendid spirits. Nor do storms affect
the size of the crowds which gathered
to hear him, and the comments at
Madison, Dover and Morristown were
IF such crowds come out in such a
furious storm. what would their size
nave been had the weather been pro-
%pitious?"
Morris county was the last OF the
twenty-one counties in the State for
Wilson to invade. and today Woodrow
Wilson has a strong grip on the af-
fections of the voters in that county.
This county gave John Franklin Fort
a substantial majority three years ago,
but. from the indications gathered yes
terday, this majority will be reduced
next Tuesday by a large independent
vote in the county that has been at
tracted to the strong personality of
Woodrow Wilson, and that he viii re-
ceive the support of many progressive
Republicans and commuters is gen.
orally acknowledged.
Wilson nvades Morris.
Mr.. Wilson made his first speech in
Morris county at Madison, which place
he reached at about $3.50 p. m, and
found a crowd of about four hundred
people in James Hall. Madison is the
seal Of the Drew Theological Seminary
of the Methodist Episcopal denomina-
ton. and practically the entire student
body was massed in the gallery, and,
led by a "theolog'' who Is a graduate
of Princeton University studying for
the ministry Of John Wesley's faith,
they gave Woodrow Wilson a vocifer-
ous reception.
"Oh. Woodrow Wilson, Is, Woodrow
Wilson!
The finest man New Jersey ever saw!
oh, woodrow wilson, oh. Woodrow
wilson,
oh Wilson! Wilson! wilson, That is
all"
Sung to the tune of "Oh, Mr.. Dooley.'
it made the rafters ring, and Mr.. Will
son was evidently tickled immensely
with the enthusiasm the preachers in
embryo showed. They followed up their
with locomotive cheers, and put
enough ginger into the meeting TO make
everyone forget the heavy storm out
side.
Ex-Mayor Albright. a graduate of
University, presided and in
troduced the candidate. who was given
n heart reception. Woodrow Wilson
began his address with the statement
that there was a danger of the students
in the gallery thinking he would give
a lecture on education instead Of poll
and in a certain sense that is
for certainly this campaign has
placed a new aspect on politics for the
people of New Jersey. who have re-
ceived a growing and deepening idea
that politics is seeking the best inter
ests of this State.
Personal Aspect of Campaign.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that the CAM
paign has taken on a personal aspect,
as both candidates a made strong
professions Of beliefs and principles.
and the question is which man can
produce results. While he believed
Mr.. Lewis is entirely sincere and win
do his best. his INSTRUMENTATION has
shown absolutely no tendency to pro-
sress, but has a stand-pat program due

speaker declared. II was a personal
auestion whom the voters shall elect
next Tuesday to represent progressive
He said there were several
tests to be applied to this choice OF
men to administer the affairs OF this
state.
Loud cheers greeted his splendid as
sertion That a political party is a
