sibly the most enthusiastic one Dr.
Wilson has had in his campaign up to
date. and a great deal of this ginger
at the start-off was furnished by the
New Jersey Democratic Club of the
student body of Lafayette College,
about fifty members of which occupied
one corner of the gallery. When DIR.
Wilson entered the hall there was not
an available inch of space that was not
occupied. probably 1000 people being
within sound of his voice. On the plat
form were DIR. Barber, the presiding
officer; State Chairman Nugent, State
Committeeman f. c. Gallagher, of Mer-
Ger. and Johnston Cornish, of Warren;
Assemblyman Cole. Judge Morrow ana
many other of the Democratic leaders
of the county.
The first great impression of the
night was made hen DR.. Wilson ran
a parallelism between the insurance
Investigations conducted several years
ago in New York State and the con-
dition of the Republican machine in
New Jersey. AS reformation in the
insurance business had been made pos
sible only as new men from the out
side had been brought in who could
inspire renewed confidence among the
policy-holders, so, he asserted, the
voters of New Jersey would only have
confidence restored when outside men
were brought into the administration
of the policies of the State.
Cheer Telling sally.
Great hilarity and laughter greeted
mis- pithy comment on the efforts made

that they would give the people of New
Jersey all sorts of progressive legisla-

one of the most thrilling statements
of his address was that in which he
described the people of the State, which
he said included everybody, but more
especially that great mass whose mem
bers are not wealthy enough to main
tain several p~alatial residences for sea-
sons of the year. but the toilers who
work, suffer and ~sympathize to-
gether. These were the people for
whom the practical and machine poll
ticians had use for but at one season OF
the year. namely, election time, when
they came before them to grasp them
by the hand and make promises and
pledges which they very cheerfully
break after the people had been hood
winked by their hollow profession Of
interest. He asserted that men elected
by the people should be the friends of
the people at all times and should
cheerfully and willingly come before
them after the election to tell them
what they were doing in the offices 70
which the peoples votes had elected
them.
statement Twisted by republicans.
He charged the Republican leaders
as studiously, persistently n ma
~liciously misrepresenting his position
to organized labor, but said that there
could be but little surprise at this, as
II had been their business In New
jersey for many years to misrepresent
things to the people. He said that he
had never made but one reference in
all of his public speeches to labor
unions, and that the Republicans seem
ingly had forgotten everything else he
had ever said, and every good thing he
had ever done, being delighted to twist
and misrepresent what he had said
upon that particular occasion. Pro
longed cheers greeted his statement
that he would not he tit to be called a
man or worthy of the respect of my
body If he was so cowardly as not to
advise. as the friend or labor, when he
thought some act Of IA b unions might
bring upon them. in the long run, dis
credit. lie declared that no more con-
sistent friend OF organized labor could
be found than himself
DR.. Wilson stated that he felt sure
that the great interest OF the people
or the entire country in the coming
election here would be justified when
on election day the Republican ma
chine, now one Of the few obsolete and
discredited partisan organizations of
the country, would be RELOCATED to use
lessness by the vote of the aroused
electorate of New Jersey.
