JERSEY CITY. Nov. To-day the
voters of this State must hav a feeling
of thankfulness, for they have Wood
row Wilson's own words of prophecy
hat he expects to be elected governor
of this commonwealth one week from
today. :
From his Statewide trip, from pri-
vate assurances. from thousands of
letters and kilograms. Woodrow Wilson
knows today that he will be New Jer-
sey's choice Oh the Sth day of this
month.
Final Week Opens.
DR.. Wilson opened the fnal week OF
his campaign with two rousing meet
ings at Bayonne and Jersey City, and it
was a rousing welcome the candidate
received as he began his swing down
the home stretch of the rduou and
trenuou stumpihg trip through the
State.
Two magnificent and fearless speeches
two great throngs of eager listeners
and tremendous enthusiasm made the
initial night in the fifth week of his
fight a splendid start in the final Crap
pie of Woodrow Wilson with the dis
credited Republican machine OF this
state.
His speeches at both meetings were
dynamic in their character. sweeping
both crowds and clearly showing that
the last days will find him hurting de-
fiance at the Republican managers and
making a Characterization of their
; reprehensible campaign methods that
will win for his clean, honorable and
gentlemanly candidacy the respect Of
all fair, thoughtful and independent
voters.
Audiences Responsive.
His audiences last night We're most
intelligent and they were quick to re-
spond to the telling points the candidate
made in his rugged, terse and clearcut
style. In both meetings there were
many Republicans, who Joined with the
Democrats in cheering DR.. Wilson's
statements.
Last night, for the first time in this
crusade for economical and popular
government, administered by both
executive and Legislature without the
membership Of a board of guardians
or any other advisory body, Woodrow
Wilson asserted that he expected to be
the next governor of New Jersey, and
fse desired the voters to know exactly
how he would act when he came to
administer affairs at Trenton,
4 Prophecy Is Chcered.
Thunderous applause greeted this
prophecy of his election and there was
no question about the energy those
crowds of voters would put into the
campaign to bring to a happy vertical
ton the election OF their peerless cam
didate.
No w~orkingrnan could once hear the
sincere tones of voice when Woodrow
Wilson says II am the true and con-
sistent friend of the laboring man and
have always desired only his steady
advancement and prosperity" and have
the slightest skepticism concerning the
welfare OF his interests and those OF
his family in the hands of DR.. Wilson.
Liability Law Needed.
In a nutshell, he said: "rhe work.
ingmen want, and should have. an en-
ployers' liability law which will work,
and not have to be worked" One OF
his assertions about this kind OF legis-
lation was: you know what we have
an employers liability act, put II was
so ingeniously drawn that have yet
to find the lawyer who can interpret
what it means. 7 uppose somebody
can work it out, but nobody has yet
found the key" :
His slightly-veiled rebuke of those
WHO, for political effect, seek to array
tho workingmen against others was
greeted by loud shouts Of commenda-
ton. He said:
Il get impatient hearing them talk
about laborers, as if laborers were
somebody set off by themselves. to be
paraded and looked at. Four men out
of every five / meet, and probably
more, are laborers; they are doing the
work of the world; they are putting
their hands to crude Instruments thai
are difficult to handle and are pro-
ducing the work of the world
