SMITH SHOWS ANGER
Senatorial Aspirant Replies to
G0v.-EIect Wilson.
RAPS HIS PARTY LEADER
Charges Attempt to Disrupt Democ-
racy of New Jersey.

NEWARK, y. j.. December GA
statement on the New Jersey senator
snip situation was issued last night by
James Smith. jr. Mr.. Smiths statement
Is In the nature Of a reply to Gov
elect Wilson's recent declaration in ia :
vor of the New jersey democratic
Party's primary choice. James L. Mar
tine. as opposed to Mr. Smiths candi-
dacy for the United States Senate Mr..
Smiths statement is in part as follows:
DIR. Wilson's statement is as l ex-
pected IL would be. IL appears over
his signature. but the reasoning is not
FAMILIAR. The charges and inSinua-
tions suggest a harassed mind. In
Influenced, DR.. Wilson would have
been above Misrepresentation. He
would have considered it dishonorable
10 treat unwarranted assumptions as
facts-to make reflections that are ma
licious.
Applause Fatal to Judgment.
But certain public applause has
proven fatal to calm judgment. He has
been swept to the heights with such
suddenness that his judgment has not
accompanied him. He has my SYM
psthy. l urged him to take rest after
his hard campaign. 1 am sure it would
have calmed his nerves and rpened
his Judgment.
His excited state has led him into
many excuses. He stands for party or
Hanization. but he would disrupt his own
PARTY: He writes earnestly of the Con-
stitution. but he would head a movement
TO evade it, He seeks to influence the
legislature. and his method carries to
every member OF that body grossest
insult.
