Trenton, N. ]. = The New Jersey
Democratic state convention nominal
ed DR.. Woodrow Wilson. president OF
Princeton university, for the Office Of
governor of the state.
DR.. Wilson's nomination was
brought about largely through the in,
fluence of former u. s. Senator James
Smith, Jr.. of Essex county, who is
undisputed leader Of the state, and
Robert Davis, leader of the Hudson
Democracy, who for the first time in
years, acted in harmony with Senator
Smith. Besides this support, Mr.. Will
son had with him number of inde.
pendent Democrats who believed that
because of his standing as an educator
he would make an unusually strong
candidate. DR.. Wilson was nominated
On the first ballot.
The platform adopted was in line
with the Democratic platform of three
years ago, except that it was more
specific in advocacy of reform meas.
ures, including the comforting of rate.
making power upon the present pub.
DR.. Wilson after his nomination,

the nomination and made an address

economy in administration, equaliza.
porations.
"Other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the ques.
tion of corrupt practices in elections
and the questions of conservation.
"Our system of government should
not be necessarily complicated and
elaborate and there should not be toe
many separate commissions and
boards."
Referring to taxation DR.. Wilson
said:
"Our system of taxation is all di.
gested piecemeal and haphazard. This
system should not be changed too rad.
ically. but the whole system shoald
be carefully reconsidered and altered
In such a manner as to At economic

Discussing the question of corpora.
tions the speaker said:
E Corporations should not be favored
in the matter Of taxation. The power
to regulate taxation and fix rates
should be vested in public utility

rations is much more the duty of the
state than of the federal government
In concluding his speech DR.. Wilson
said:

recated. Measures having for their
object the betterment of our conditions
should be conceived in the largest
spirit and urged by leaders who are

tempted burglary in the last yrar, ac-
:ording to the report of the North Da-
kota Bankers association, which has

Der there are $40 banks which belong

banks and three trust companies
The report gives one a splendid con-
seption of the prosperity Of the state
Is it shows that there was gain in
he number Of banks in the state by
>l03, while the state association of
bankers grew stronger by los new
members. All these banks are SEEM
ngly in a fourishing condition and
aone had any cause for complaint.
One Of the most important and most
interesting things about the report is

opinions given on the same by the as
'ociation's attorney, Edward Engerud.
These points cover such items as:
Reduction Of bank surplus, payment of
totes. protesting of checks, validity of

Bridges Inspected.

The full board of county commission
ers met in Oakes yesterday on bridge
matters. They inspected the new
bridge over the Jim river west of the
city, which has just been completed,
and are we'll pleased with the work.
The bridge is one of the best wagon
road bridges in the two Dakotas. 1t is
supported by three piers and two abut-
ments of reinforced concrete. The
stringers are very heavy, being eighteen
inches of solid steel, while the roadbed
is of reinforced concrete eight inches in
thickness and on top of this is heavy
layer of gravel. The road will be open
to travel the first of next month.
In the afternoon the board went to
the site of the bridge five miles down
the river, where the Hewitt company
is just beginning work on the other
bridge. A visit was also made to the
Ludden bridge, and the board decided
that new abutments would have to be
put in there. This will be done be-.
fore winter sets in.

Two Roads Have Filed Evidence.

Washington Sept. 17.-Announce-
nent was made. by the interstate
commerce commission today that Com
a?issioners Clements, Line and Clark
md possibly Prouty, would occupy the
oench when the hearing of the west
srn freight advance was resumed Mon
:. lay in Chicago. Commissioner Glenn
,errts will be the presiding commits
sioner, in the absence OF Chairman
Knapp, who will be detained in Wash
mgton by urgent business.
Thus far only two railroads, OF the
nineteen directly interested in ad-
7ances, have submitted their evidence
N the western case, and the hearing
Is likely to continue for several weeks.
1t is probable that testimony in
analysis of the preliminary evidence,
together with oral arguments in the
matter, will be heard in Washington,
probably in October.

the record of their lives have been one

The issues were well understood and
most Of the speakers had confined
themselves to state matters, scarcely

It was hoped among the hackers OF
the administration of Governor
Fernald, that this unrest would sub

on the old time loyalty of the farming

had been absorbing ideas out of the
