GREATEST POLITICAL DAY IN
The HISTORY OF RED BANK
Woodrow Wilson, Dsmocra-
tic Nominee for Governor
Gets Rousing Reception.
SCORES "STAND-PATTERS"

Voters of this city will get the
political treat Of their lives when
Woodrow Wilson speaks in the Audi
torium here on November a, as evt-
denced by his stirring address at Red
Bank, Saturday afternoon, which was
heard by over a score of local repre-
sentatives to the democratic congress
sional convention. The delegates
declared that If enthusiastic recep-
tions count for anything in the way
+ of prophecy, President Wilson, of
Princeton College, will be the next
governor, for never before in the
history of Red Bank has such warm
welcome been extended to any man.
Fdlly FIVE minutes elapsed from
the time Wilson appeared upon the
stage and bowed to a suddenly
aroused audience until he was finally
able to speak, and in the interim
cheers and applause, mingled with
cries OF ''Wilson, Wilson," and
drowned the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner" played by fif-
teen-piece brass band.
The capacious Frick Lyceum was
crowded to the2doors Saturday after
noon long before the candidate ap-
peared Delegates to the convention
following its adjournment had
marched in a body to the building
and impatiently occupied seats in the
orchestra waiting for him to appear
Fashionably gowned women, some
thing strange at a political gathering,
occupied boxes, and the balcony was
thronged with auditors unable to OBJ
tain more prominent seats.
Former Mayor Otterson, of Red
Bank, presided at the meeting Will
son appeared in an automobile and
was effusively greeted by commit
tee named for the purpose. He was
led to the stage, and at exactly $3.50
O'Clock was introduced by Mr.. Otter
son.
Before Wilson's address Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., former candidate
for governor, was introduced. His
oratorical ability is well known to
local voters, and his eloquence has
become greater, to all appearances,
than when he spoke here two years
ago Referring back to the support
given him by Monmouth county in
the last gubernatorial campaign, he
solicited the same support for Wilson.
He can ask nothing MORE" said the
former candidate, than that you
serve him with the same loyalty you
gave me two years ago."
Wilson smiled an acknowledgment
of the warm reception given by the
audience as he stepped forward on
the platform, his hands clasped be-
hind his back. His first words were
an apology for delaying, but he add
ed that he was happy that the delay
had given the audience a chance to
hear Mr.. Katzenbach. Evidently Mr..
Wilson favored the choice of Mayor
Thomas ]. Scully, of South Amboy,
for the third district congressional
candidate, for he rejoiced in the fact
that he had "such an admirable run
ming mate"
Contrary to expectations, the gub-
ernatortHf candidate touched lightly
on his platform or the matter of his
election. He confined his talk to
national affairs and their relation to
New Jersey and its residents. He
told how questions of the day might
be remedied and promised, if elected,
to modify and remedy them to the
best of his ability
WI poi atloA5t trusts anu ComDlnA-
tfons OF capital and their relation to
the protective tariff were the especial
object of his attack. He touched on
the republican administration, not
only in New Jersey but all over the
country, and criticized its ,.atand-
pat" policy as non-conduciye to PRO-
gress. Their traditional policies are
so dyed in the WOOL" he declared
midst applause, that the only thing
they think of is to consult their
grandmothers and stand pat.
II have always been opposed TO
the policy Of protection" continued
Wilson The wall of protection mas
become so high that Industries have
been able to form combinations in
