Just then Roosevelt's auto pulled up
to the church.
"Oh, Colonel Roosevelt" the in

Jake could check him. The Colonel
looked behind him. smiled at a friend
and passed within the edifice.
He wanted to talk to me- said the
inventor. Cant you understand?

You'll have to wait till nothing,

"Oh, be reasonable, officer" began
auckland. But Jake pulled him back
to the drug store and dragged the
straw bag from behind the counter. He
cut the cords that bound and peeped
inside. This is what he found: One
nightshirt, a slightly bald toothbrush,
four soup spoons, a nutcracker and

Jake put the inventor aboard the

The sentiment of the merchants and
other citizens concerning the annual
Merchants Field day, is somewhat di-
vided and many Thursday did not
favor the proposed intentions of going
to Long Island on Aug. 3 for the ex
cursion. Their contention was that the
distance was altogether too far to
travel in one day They would rather
go to some nearer place and not have
to travel three hours before arriving.
They found but little attraction travel
ling so far during the hot weather
Many who We're asked favored Camp
Benson at Newport, which had all the
facilities for a good time.

City Marshal Richardson received a
letter Thursday from the chief of po-
lice in Bristol, Conn.,, asking him to
gather certain information regarding
watches and articles of clothing. which
were supposed to have been sold in
this city and vicinity by two boys
aged II years during the later part of
June. Two boys, alleged to have stol-
en- them in Bristol have been captured.
The Bristol officer would like a few
of the watches for evidence. AS far as
can be learned no watches were sold
in this city and Marshal Richardson
thinks he will have a fine time gather
ing such information. The watches
were of the Ingersoll make and it is
understood were sold for 35 cents
apiece.

Princeton Mans Views on
Union Labor Used as a
Club Against Him.

TRENTON. N. J.. Oct. 22.-Republi-
can prospects in New Jersey have
been getting better for the last week
all the best OF the situation at the
outset Of the campaign, but HIS
strength recently has suffered some-
thing of a slump.
The able head OF Princeton Uni
versity still has the better of the sit
uation. But in the next two weeks
there IS going TO be some desperate
fighting in Jersey. The Republican
managers have become encouraged
over recent developments. and think
they have got the drift 70 Wilson
checked. They even believe, or pro-
fess to, that they can roll that tide
backward before election day comes
and elect their candidate for govern
or, Vivian NJ. Lewis.
An impartial summing up OF the sit
uation in New Jersey today is that
Wilson is stiu in the lead, but IN
danger. because Of the remarIIa Bile
rally made by the Republicans who
have hit upon campaign tactics that
are proving effective.
Danger From Smith.
Wilson's chief trouble Is that the
shadow OF former United States SEN
ator James Smith, r.. hangs over him.
Smith is undoubtedly out for the SEM
ate If the Democrats carry the Leg
islature. Smith viii be elected Senator
to succeed John Kean. Smith has Iona
been thoroughly discredited poll
tician. He is the Senator who was
al -
Justing the sugar schedule in the
Wilson bill He has long been
accused Of playing in with the
Jersey Republican machine. Efforts
nave been made 10 get Smith TO saw
that he will not seek the Senate IL
the Democrats carry the Legislature.
But he refuses TO commit himself
Nobody questions that he has his eye
On the Senate.
President Wilson is not a creature OF
Smith and his associates in the Demo-
cratic machine But the fact remains
that he is handicapped by this machine,
which hopes 10 have control OF State ar
fairs IL he is eletced. The Republicans
are doing a lot OF talking to the effect
that Wilson was nominated through The
efforts Of Smith, James Nugent, and
Robert Davis. along with Col George
Harvey. They ask for explanations of
what the relationship Is This puts VII
son or the defensive TO a certain extent
Wilson's friends say that he was nOmi-
mated not because the Democratic ma
chine wanted him. but because Smith
and his friends thought they saw
through Wilson a chance to rehabilitate
themselves But, Of course, the Repub-
licans won't let II rest at that. and keep
on asking disagreeable interrOEatOries.
II IL weren't for the sinister political
figures in the background about him,
Wilson would have no trouble at all
sweeping the State by a big majority
BY his speeches and conduct Wilson has
shown his independence, but many Of
the independents don't see why they
should vote for Wilson II vote for
the Democratic ticket would restore
James Smith, jr., with his uneavory Pc
litiCal record, to power
Open Friend of Corporations.
To some extent, on the other hand, the
feeling that Smith is planning TO get
back 10 the Senate is offset by the
that II the Republicans win
the Legislature. Senator John Kean is
likely to succeed himself. Kean is
openly and avowedly a friend Of the

WILSON LEAD IN NEW JERSEY SLIPS
AS REPUBLICANS TRAP NEW VOTES
HoUU Republicans Expect
to DoqUr Wilson

By his criticism of union labor IN
which he said masses were shift
less or incompetent, President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton
gave the Republicans a club with
which to fay him in his race for
governor on Democratic ticket,
and foes are busy.
Former Senator Smith withholds
his word as to whether he will
seek Senatorship if Democrats
win Legislature, and this hurts
Wilson.
Democrats say Republicans are
working both sides Of the street"
to get old guard and insurgent
votes.
