[From a stan Correspondent


ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 14.-After an
absence of four days, Woodrow Wilson
made his second inroad into the Re-
publican strongholds of South Jersey
when he arrived here yesterday after
noon and spoke to a large audience
last night.
Atlantic City is one of the two great
! Republican strongholds in this State,
and yet Woodrow Wilson received the
same kind of an ovation last night that
he has been accorded wherever he has
spoken since this campaign opened
Atlantic county in 1907 gave Fort
6,O55, while Katzenbach's vote was 4,615
While the notorious Republican ma
chine of this county is making extrava-
CANT claims regarding the majority
that will be rolled up here on election
day, there are many indications that
they will be extremely fortunate if
they can hold their own, while many
well-informed politicians would not be
greatly surprised If Wilson should
make large inroads on the Republican
strength.
Mr.. Wilson was in excellent physical
condition last night, his release from
heavy speech Wednesday night hav-
ing refreshed him for the strenuous
work for the remainder of this week.
The high expectations which the peo-
pie of Atlantic City had concerning
the powers of Mr.. Wilson as an effect
i've campaigner were more than real
ized, and as the crowd dispersed many
remarks gave evidence that Mr.. Wilson
had secured a strong grip on his
listeners.
The statement that no Democratic
mass meeting held in this seashore
town in many years contained so many
Republicans would not fly wide the
mark of truth, while every Democrat
in the city and large delegations from
the neighboring towns were present to
give their standard bearer a rousing
welcome.
Theatre Packed Full.
Steeplechase, on the boardwalk, was
jammed to the. doors, every inch of
available space being used. Persons
acquainted with the theatre stated that
2,200 persons were in the house, while
many were unable to gain admission.
Clarence L. Cole, State committeeman
from Atlantic, presided. In opening
the meeting Mr.. Cole said, among
OlHeT lHll5S. OiioN SisiNSiSt -
have paid a fitting tribute to truly
great man. The forward movement in
American politics has at last reached
New Jersey soil and those who have
become intoxicated with power are to
be called to an account of their stew
ardship.
"Realizing the need for truly great
man, the Democrats have found him
in Woodrow Wilson. The present fight
is not a question of partisan politics,
but of clean and economic government,
and one upon which all independent
citizens can unite"
Whoops and cheers greeted Mr.. VIII
sons introduction and one enthusiast
tic partisan shouted: "Three cheers
for the white mans candidate in At
lantic county," Mr.. Wilson, after
thanking the audience for their recep-
ton, stated that he had only the high
est esteem for Vivian Lewis, and no
word of disparagement concerning Mr.
Lewiss personality or character had or
would escape his lips during this cam
paign.
Great laughter greeted Mr.. Wilson's
statement that since the Republican
state convention had framed It's plat
form Mr. Lewis has framed his own in
dividual platform, adding planks from
day to day, until there was little diff
ference between the two candidates, but
it was up to the voters to determine
which party and Legislature could
make good the personal assurances of
the candidates.
Address Appreciated.
Taking up the need of the rate-making
mower for the State, he made an appli-
cation to local transportation problems
in Atlantic county, and the great crowd
yelled it's Endorsement.
Evidently there were many in the
audience who are familiar with candi-
tions in Atlantic county when Mr.. Will
son stated there was urgent need of a
corrupt practises act' in this State.
For several minutes the crowd
cheered when Mr.. Wilson declared:
.."This is a campaign to break up the
Republican machine
Cheers greeted Mr. Wilson's assertion
that the signs of the times show that
more and more the people will meet as
a Committee of the whole on the pub
lie safety" and no longer allow any
group of bosses or leaders, to manipu-
late the lawmaking of the State and
nation
One of the impressive periods of the
splendid speech, heartily greeted by the
crowd. was that Courage to talk is
given by the presence of men of all
ranks and occupations in the meetings
