When WOODROW WILSON was NOM
mated for Governor Of New Jersey by
the Democrats the managers Of tho Re-
publican machine lamented openly the
bad Judgment and lack Of foresight that
had put mere schoolmaster zap for the
highest Office in the State. A helpless
theorist, this WILSON, utterly incompe-
tent by reason Of his training. education
and lifelong environment for those
complicated duties that required the
exercise Of the mighty intellect Of a
FORT. a Stokes and VOORHEES,. For
the Republicans tho spectacle would
have been ridiculous had not il been
so pathetic.
Mr.. WILSON had been campaigning
for some time before his true nature
WAS discovered. At length he was
asked what Democratic boss he intended
to obey II he should bs elected. He
replied with that promptness and clarity
viii ch rendered the attempt to put him
in hole SO dangerous q business. He
declared with brazen distinctness that
il elected Governor Of the State he would
accept his victory a. commission TO act
~ leader Of his party. The boss of the
Wilson administration. he said. would
walk with his neck encircled by the Will
son collar, his head protected by the
Wilson hat
This most unexpected declaration
cams with paralyzing significance to
those solicito,is Republicans who had
wept over tho incursion OF mere peda-
gogue into the mysteries OF politics. Its
menace was Immediately plain TO them.
They saw In WOODROW WILSON the
DESTROYER Of the Democratic machine.
the political assassin OF the misguided
NUGgNT and DAVIS. the implaCable foe
OF SMITH. Alas they cried, this
wicked. this abandoned creature will 60
foruh rending and tearing that noble
monument Of mans ingenuity and skill
the Democratic organization. So now
they counsel a vote against WILSON in
order that tho Democrats may still retain
the delec-able party formation that now
exists
Meanwhile. the Democrats, having
faced without blanching he charge that
they were attempting 10 foist a mere
schoolmaster on the State. bear up won
derfully well when the prospect that 30
alarms the Republicans is pointed out
for their inspection. They look with
perfect equanimity on the future. and
even plan TO attend the Inauguration OF
Mr.. WILSON in force and good temper.
IL is plain that Mr.. WILSON is a man OF
extraordinary qualities to he at once the
innocuous and easily befoOled amateur
and the plotting. willy villain Of party
politics. Yet Mr. WILSON seems simple
enough and easily understood citizen.
II is not without meaning, however, that
