ponent was certainly tied hand and
foot by the machine that nominated
him.
Here, as in Trenton Monday night
his audience chuekled with delight as
he alluded to Vivian Lewis's statement
that if he was elected he intended to
be a constitutional governor" and moth
ing more. In other words, Wilson said
that Mr. Lewis Had served advance no
tice on the voters that he would not
force anything on the Legislature that
they did not desire to consider.
Prolonged applause greeted his state
ment that if elected he would be more
than a constitutional governor" ac-
cording to Mr.. Lewis's idea.
He came from Scotch-Irish ancestry
and had a habit of fighting for what
he thinks to be right, he said 1t is
not In accordance with American
spirit to close any mans mouth or curl
public opinion. 1t is. the man who

| sympathy for President Taft.
Possibly the largest merriment of the
meeting resulted from his description
of the plight President Taft has found
himself in. He said "he had great
respect and profound sympathy for The
President, for Mr.. Taft has been put
| in an awful hole" In his famous
| Winona speech he had declared the
Aldrich- Payne tariff was the best ever
framed and passed by any Congress
and yet he has been SO frightened by
the congressional Nand State elections
recently held that he has publicly
changed his verdict and stands for an
other revision.
Many employees of the Blasius Piano
Factory and glassworkers from Glass
boro applauded his declaration that he
had the highest respect for organized
| labor. carefully directed, and that nc
workingman should ever be deprived
of his just share of profits.
In the concluding part of his splen-
did speech he directed attention to the
need of an effective corrupt practises
act, which would prevent Withholding
returns until after 'the votes obtained
at midnight have been counted" He
stated that the deepest thought must
| be given to an effective form of public
utilities regulation and equal care to 6
primary election system that would be
effective.
The equalization of taxation was g
problem which demanded Immediate
attention, which it would receive If h'
was elected.
Unlike all his former addresses
Woodrow Wilson closed his speech last
night in a manner that sent his audi
ence away in great good humor.
| The tumultuous applause that greeted
the candidate when he sat down gives
Republican leaders of Gloucester rea
son for alarm. That the county will
give a Wilson majority is general,
acknowledged.
Joseph e. Nowrey, of Camden, oppo-
nent of Loudenslager m the First dis

speech and made a splendid impress

Mr.. Wilson's speech was considered
the best he has made so far this cam
paign. He went further into the issue:
