Governor-EIcct Of New Jersey In
sists Ex-Senator's Emissary
Did Talk to Him.
WOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE
Wilson Wouldn't Have Gone Before
Convention Had lie Not SO
Udcrstood.

Newark. " j.. Dec. 2S.---Gov elect
Woodrow Wilson not only re-afirms
his assertion that an emissary from
fore election day that Mr. Smith
would not be a candidate for the
United states senate but declares that
Smith personally had corroboratcd
such statement. DR.. Wilson is now
In ST. Louis attending a meeting OF
the American Home Economic as
ISOLATION. His statement. signed is
printed today in the Newark Evening
News.
Mr.. Smith denied he ever sent such
an emissary TO DR.. Wilson and chal-
lenged the governor-elect to name the
man.
In reply today DR.. Wilson declined
mant. He says:
II certainly would not have allowed
my name TO so before the convention
that nominated me had I not thought
that the man who told ME that Mr.
smith sha would not be candidate for
the senate spoke 10 me for Smith.
had every reason TO think he did.
VIII not name him because he Is n
man whom very highly esteem and
on whom | do not care to bring the
modification of being drawn into the
now very public matter. am willing
TO go with Mrs Smith before the
court of public opinion on the charge
of attempted trickcry and deceit.
"lf the gentleman Of whom ] have
spoken did not speak for Mr.. Smith in
what he told me. why did Mr.. Smith
corroborate what he had said? He
himself told me exactly the same thing
when he came to my house a few
days after the election. He told me In
the plainest terms that before the
election he had not desired to go to
Washington; had not felt equal to
seeking or occupying the office: but
that he was now feeling stronger and
did desire il. He was evidently re-
rerring to something he knew l had
known.
MIR. Smith has a singularly distorted
recollection OF that conversation. I did
speak ms his friend ! felt very friend
~ toward him indeed and wish that
might have been permitted to serve
his real interest in this final decision
of his public career.
II pointed out to him the deep dis
credit that would fall on him IL he
were himself to seek the senatorship.
Finding him utterly contemptuous of
the primary and towards Mr.. MARITIME:
finding that lie insisted that the state
would be disgrnced should Mr.. MARITIME
rather than he represent II In tho SEN
ate, ! tried to point out TO him In all
kindness the only course that lay open
to him in the circumstances II he
would win the respect Of thoughtful
men.
II told him that. feeling as he did,
the only honorable course open to him
Was to come out and say that he was
not himself Il candidate and would CO.
operate in the choice OF any man whom
general opinion might agree on as rep
rcsenting. not special interests, but the
opinion and the character Of the state.
He told me that he did not know OF any
such man in the state who had any
claim upon the party comparable to
his own"

Benjamin F. Shively in Mormon
E. Mack's National Monthly for July,
says:
Jefferson stated the whole gospel
of Democracy in his sixteen PROPOSE
tions in his first inaugural address
as President. He would, under no
temptation, bend power Of the
Federal Government downward to
pick up a special private. local or
sectional interest, and thus hatch q
brood of special interests to feed on
the general or common interests OF
the country. None knew as well as
he that this Government has no indie
pendent reserve fund OF property or
OF power out of which to make gifts
or grant privileges. None knew
better than he that all property and
power in possession of our Federal
Government are only concessions of
the people to it in trust for all the
people; that to make gifts from this
property is to ambush it away from
the many to enrich the few; that to
grant privileges out of this power is
to carve such grants out of the body
Of common rights. Hence the cor
ner-stone Of his system was equality
of natural rights among men, and
equal title to security to such rights
under the law.

A Century Of MARRIAGE.

A ceremony which very probably
has never had its equal up to this
time was celebrated lately in the lit
tie village of Isonbalgi, in Hungary.
1t took place to commemorate the
marriage of the couple Szathmari,
united for exactly 100 years. The
husband is 120 years of age and the
wife 116. Their descendants count
together more than $50 persons.
The two old people. who inhabit
quite q modest little cottage, are
very much loved by their neighbors,
who surround them with every pos
sible care. They are, however, al
most quite blind and deaf. They
pass their time away mostly in sleep
ing. Still, occasionally the old man
smokes a little pipe with evident sat-
isfaction and enjoys glass of wine.
The queerest thing about their
whole life is that this old couple have
never quilted their village they
were both born there. Their life
has been passed there quietly and
peacefully. and never has a wish
arisen in their minds to know any
thing of the vast world which lies be-
yond their narrow horizon.

HOW TO SWIM.

Next to swimming dog fashion,"
which is the method adopted by most
boys, perhaps the best known means
of propelling yourself in the water
is by the breast stroke.
With the breast stroke you lie on
your face in the water; join your
hands, palms together, under your
chest. as though you were going to
pray. Then slowly and quietly, but
firmly and strongly, push your hands
up and out above your head. When
you have reached that position, turn
palms out SO that your hands are
backs to backs. Then bring your
hands in natural semi-circle down to
your sides. and the stroke is CON-
pleted. Your hands reach your sides
with the palms touching the side
Then to continue, you bring them up
to the first position and start over
again.
These directions are somewhat radi-
cal in order to be simple. AS you
learn to swim you will find that all
the power you get comes from that
portion of the stroke which begins
when your arms, in the course of
transcribing the semicircle, are half
way down from their position over
your head to a position which make
your figure that of cross. Then
you will not take so much care in
actually bringing your palms to-
gether with every stroke. but will
begin the stroke with your hands
over your head and about fourteen
inches apart. However, that will
come of itself. The propulsion is in
the last part of the stroke. and there
for you must be careful to bring your
hands quite down to your sides.
While you are making this motion
with your hands you will be obliged
to keep your lower extremities
afloat by moving your feet and legs.
The motion with your legs must be
made at the same time that the mo-
tion is made with your hands. just as
two men rowing a boat will take the
same stroke with their oars at the
same time. In the beginning you
will find this rather like the old,
childish operation OF patting your
head and rubbing your stomach, but
you will soon remember to do both
things at once.
