Trenton, Sept. 2S;-Dr Woodrow
Wilson tonight begins his work on
the hustings as the democratic can
didate for governor of New Jersey,
and from now until election day the
scholarly precincts of Princeton will
see but little of the man whose hopes
are now centered in jumping from
the presidency of one of the great
est American universities into the
chair of the chief executive of this
state. DR.. Wilson will open his cam
paign in Jersey City, where he will
deliver three speeches in different
halls between 5 o'clock and mid
night.
trying day, for he Is scheduled to
attend the Interstate @Fair in this
city, where he will be the central at
traction for the 100000 people who
will be gathered together there At
the fair grounds Dr. Wilson will
have an opportunity to meet politi-
clans of every degree of Importance,
and from every party Among
them will be his republican rival,
Vivian M. Lewis, who will vie with
the college president as one of the
political attractions of the day Both
candidates will get plenty of hand
shaking, and unless objections are
made on the ground that it is not
dignified, they will be bundled into
an automobile to head a parade of
state officials and political big
guns" around the half mile track
W " Ii hhiie lie thousands or the common peo-
pie subject them to scrutiny from
the side lines Mr.. Lewis is rather
used to such incidents, as he is a
veteran hand at the. political game
in all its phases, but If the cultured
college president yields to the re-
quest that he participate in this
spectacular part of the program, he
will undoubtedly do so with consid-
cradle reluctance.
Dr. Wilson will swing into New
ark Friday night, where he will de-
liver one or two speeches. He will
begin campaigning next week in his
home county, Mercer, by addressing
a monster meeting In Trenton, which
is being arranged by the local dem
ocratic leaders who SO bitterly and
vigorously opposed the plan to NOM
mate him: The Trenton meeting
will be presided over by Frank S.
ocratic gubernatorial candidate
three years ago, and around whose
name rallied the anti-Wilson men in
the struggle to keep the present
candidate out of the campaign. DR..
Wilson will then begin a SERIES of
meetings that have been arranged
for him over the state and which
will take him into every county.
His candidacy has aroused ma
tional interest In the New Jersey
campaign, one effect of which will
be to obtain greater publicity than
has been accorded New Jersey polit-
ical affairs In many years. Several
of the big New York and Philadel-
phia newspapers, together with the
Associated Press and other news
gathering organizations, will assign
reporters to cover the state with the
democratic candidate. The special
will pick up" Dr.
Wilson at Jersey City tonight and
will not leave him until he makes
his last speech in Newark on Novem-
Der 5th.
The managers of the democratic
campaign believe that the meetings
arranged for DR.. Wilson will be
among the largest ever held in
campaign in this state, but they will
not rest content with the dissemina-
tion of the candidates views by his
own word of mouth. They will have
several stenographers travel with
the candidate and make special eff
forts to furnish verbatim copies of
his speeches Immediately after their
delivery to all the newspapers which
may find them available for use. In
addition to this effort at publicity,
many of his speeches will be printed
in pamphlet form and hundreds of
thousands Of copies put into the
hands of voters.
