New Brunswick, Oct. 27:-"Well.
II nothing is going to happen, in
God name what are you here for?"
asked woodrow Wilson last night
or the 1000 men who jammed the
New Brunswick Theatre to suffoca-
ton. Il have not any respect for
large number Of persons as num-
erous as they are in this hall who
will come together simply to hear a
man talk. If there is no dynamic
power behind that mans back, If
he has not got anything in his head
that will make someone hum; if he
has not the courage that will defy
influences that you are afraid Of
why then go home There Is moth
Ing in it. 1t is just lot of words.
1t Is just gentleman who has been
accustomed for twenty-odd years
making public speeches doing his
stunt, that is all.
III you think that he is merely
the representative of an organiza-
ton and that he may or may not
know what that organization is 60
ing to do, why then adjourn the
meeting and come when you can
get the organization On the stage
and ask it what it is going to do. .
What are you here for, anyway
Why, you are here for very i'm
portant thing. l dare say you want
ed to see whether he looked like an
honest man, for one thing"
The candidate got no further A
stentorian voice from the audience
shouted: II believe you are all
right" The waves of thunderous
applause which came from every
part of the theatre plainly indicated
the man who made that response
was the spokesman of the vast
throng. They believed Woodrow
Wilson is all right.
1t was his first visit of the cam
paign to Middlesex county, when he
spoke to an audience that jammed
every available inch of space and
loudly cheered the candidate during
his splendid address of seventy
minutes duration.
The New Brunswick democracy
had "rip-snorting celebration, in
cluding an elaborate display, of red
fire, fireworks and bombs, With a
band concert and parade, and gave
Woodrow Wilson a reception sur
passing anything this staid old
Dutch town has ever given any can
didate.
1t was great audience that en-
thused over his speech. On the plat
form were Monsignor J. A. O'Grady,
DR.. Austin Scott, of Rutgers Col
lege; DR.. w. A. Knox, the recently
elected moderator of the New Jer-
sey Presbyterian Synod, and numer-
Gus clergymen and professors OF
Rutgers College, who Joined in the
applause which greeted the telling
points the candidate made.
The Democratic Club, Of Rutgers,
occupied front chairs and gave the
college and locomotive cheers when
Mr.. Wilson appeared, the audience
rising and cheering him as the next
governor of New Jersey.
At no meeting of the campaign
has Mr.. Wilson had greater liberty
of speech than that he enjoyed last
night and the New Brunswick voters
hung on his words with an eager
ness which showed their intense ear
nestness to grasp the message of
this new style OF candidate.
Introduced as ''the man of the
hOut LUZ NEW IhO
for larger things for the United
States,'' the vast audience cheered
and shouted for several minutes be-

His speech was splendid effort,
and clearly demonstrated the grasp
which he has on the problems of
government and the keen insight he
has of the needs of New Jersey at
the present time. Again and again
tn audience reached high stages OF
enthusiasm and Endorsed the senti-
ments of the candidate.
Senator George s. Silzer received

the party now In power. Congress
ionaI Candidate Thomas j. Scully
was suddenly seized with indisposl-

he had planned.
Mr.. Wilson said In part:
"It makes me feel very much at
home by this phalanx In front OF me.
