BRIGGS TALKS
ABOUT WILSON
U. 5. Senator Don't Approve
of Governors Course.
From tie NEWS Correspondent,

Washington, Jan. 20.-United
States Senator Briggs does not APP
prove OF the course of Governor
Wilson, Of New Jersey, In the United
States senatorial mix-up. 81 must
confess said he, In talking about
the matter, THAT the action of Gov
ernor Dix, of New York, in not
meddling with the senatorial situa-
ton in his state is much more to be
admired than the attitude of Cover
nor Wilson In New Jersey. 1t must
seem apparent to Democrats and
Republicans Of all other states who
have given attention to the New Jer-
sey contest that Governor Wilson is
eager to assume the duties of the
legislature as well as of the COVER
nor's office. The people will resent
1t in good season"
What about the ambition of
Governor Wilson to become Presi-
dent was asked.
THE one who thinks of 1t most
seriously is Wilson himself" was
the reply.
The senator does not take any
stock in the alleged discord in the
Republican party. He expressed
himself In these words on that point:
ssThey may talk about divisions
and discOrd among the Republicans
of New Jersey and other states, but
we r no more divided than the
Democrats, and we are much more
likely to accomplish 6, smoothing out
of our differences than our friends
on the other side. l am confident
that from what comes to me In talks
with the Republicans Of other states
that President Taft will have much
to do with the bringing together OF
the Republicans not only In New
Jersey, but throughout the nation
There Is a general and abiding faith
In the fairness of the President, and
In his purpose to make his party
united before another national cam
paign.
President Taft will be renomi
mated and reelected. He will Boor
leader OF his party even If he has in
tended to put himself forward as al
actual political chieftain. Uncon
sciously, perhaps, he has compelled
that admiration which makes q mai
a political leader In spite OF hi
original Intentions"
Legislators at Trenton who ar
busy with a new automobile Law
might, with profit, consider the pol
Ice ordinance which is In force ii
the city Of washington, or NOR
properly speaking, the District o
Columbia. All vehicles, whethe
propelled by gasolene, steam or cleo
tricity, or drawn by animals of an.
sort, are required to carry a light
and there must be a light showini
in the real of the vehicle, either
separate light, or through the bacl
OF a lantern. As a result, carriage
and wagons carry lights after dark
and the automobilists or bicyciists
are not Disseminated against In tn,
matter OF giving others warming .
their approach, so far as the light !
concerned. Drivers who neglect t
have the lights are arrested by tn
policemen and usually fined five dol
lars.
Representative Kinkead cam'
back from Trenton wednesday ant
spoke In glowing terms of the inaug
uration OF Governor Wilson. HI
said It was as impressive an inaug
uration as he had ever attended
and he thoroughly enjoyed bein,
present. Those OF the Democratic
members who attended the big cele
bration at Baltimore, came bacl
duly impressed with the experience
they had had there. 1t is believed
the party will receive an impetu
from the gathering that will mani
fest itself throughout the Unite'
States at the election next fall.
All OF the Democratic congress
men were here in readiness for tn
caucus which was held last night
when some OF the policies of tn
