NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. H.-Wood-
row Wilson made his first visit of the
campaign, to Middlesex county last
night, and the magnificent reception re-
ceived at New Brunswick guarantees
that those thirteen votes received by
John Franklin Fort as a majority over
Frank S. K~atzenbach in 1907 will dis
appear, and Middlesex county will be
found in the Wilson column, with at
least 1000 voter to the good.
There is no room to doubt that Mid
dlesex feels the great wave of en-
thusiasm which is sweeping over all
the counties of this State, and the
popular ovation which the standard
bearer met in this second city of the
county was sufficient proof that Mid
dlesex voters are deeply impressed with
the matchless crusade Woodrow VIII
son is waging to restore the people
to their rights.
Every day the spirit of Woodrow Will
son becomes more dominant, more
vigorous, and more contagious. and
last night, inspired by the hearty
81 ceilings he had received in Camden
and Salem counties. he stood forth a
living incarnation of the rights of the
people against those d~iscredited Repub-
lican bosses, who in the last fifteen
years have gotten an iron grip on he
political administration of this State,
running its affairs for private advance
ment and gain rather h for he well
fare of the entire people.
Meeting Enthusiastic.
The meeting last night was held in
the New Brunswick Theatre. the
largest hall In the city, which was
packed to Its capacity, and large num-
bers were unable to gain admission.
For a staid old Dutch town, 1t was a
~rip-roaring affair, with volleys of
cheers, waves of applause. yells. with
music a plenty, which cheere the cam
didato as he made the telling points
in his mastery speech. Although this
town is TIE stronghold of stand-pat
Congressman Howell, and is controlled
by a strong Republican machine, there
is no reason to doubt that the impress
sion Woodrow Wilson made last night
In his attack upon the misrule of the
Republican party and the need of the
people rising and asserting themselves
will bear it's fruit on election day.
After the meeting the STAR cor
respondent spoke with several promi-
nent citizens OF the town, including one
gentleman who is in close touch with
the Republican machine, n they all
acknowledged that Woodrow Wilson
would probably get a majority in the
city itself, while, If the purchasable
vote could be decreased, the Repub-
lieans could not figure on any majority
whatsoever in the county. Leaders
present from Perth Amboy stated that
the same condition of affairs prevailed
in that bustling city, and that when
Woodrow Wilson visits that city on the
4th of next month, he will receive the
greatest political reception ever given
to any candidate for public office, which
will be in marked contrast to that re-
ceived there ten days ago by Vivian M.
Lewis, who had the hall about two
thirds filled with people.
