vote, and all candidates must announce
their presidential preference before
their names go on the ticket. There
remains, of course, some danger OF
detection in Essex county, but with
the sentiment of New Jersey demo
crats so overwhelming for Governor
Wilson, do not believe he will lose
a delegate when the vote is finally
counted We will have four additional
delegates next year. as we were given
two new congressional districts. New
Jersey gained 100000 in population
during the last ten years, and the two
new districts will be not far from New
York City

Columbus. O.. Dec. l3.-The follow
ing is from The Ohio State Journal:
Sentiment in the west is divided be-
tween Woodrow Wilson and President
Taft for the two presidential nomina-
tions, according to the observations Of
Rev. Fletcher l.. Wharton, pastor of
the Wesley Methodist Episcopal
church, who has just returned from a
trip in that part of the country and a
visit with friends in Lincoln, Neb.
Theodore Roosevelt has number
of admirers in the west" said Rev. Mr..
Wharton, "and many of them would
like to see him be the presidential
nominee, but they do not think that he
will be a candidate under any condi-
ton. From what ! could gather, Will
son is the strongest candidate now be-
ing considered by democrats in the
western part of the country
Buffalo, n. Y. Dec. 13.-The follow.
ing is from The Buffalo Times:
DIR. David Starr Jordan, president
of Leland Stanford, Jr.. university, OF
Berkeley, Cal, is in Buffalo to deliver
an address on THE Cost of War" al
the Buffalo Society of Natural Science
What is the political situation in the
west?" was asked.
California is in the hands OF the
progressive republicans, answered
DIR. Jordan. The state will go to some
one named from the progressive ele
ment, although | believe that Presi
dent Taft is growing stronger. His
last explanation will tend to produce
that effect. However, believe that il
woodrow Wilson were nominated by
the democrats he would carry the west
He is the vests first choice. think
that Wilson would carry California
Washington, D. c.. Dec 9.-Tht
Washington correspondent of the Bos
ton Transcript sends the following:
Presidential politics is on all tongues
at the capitol. The senator's and rep
resentatives are talking almost moth
ing else. Regardless of their persona
preferences, northern and southern
democrats alike admit that Woodrow
Wilson is the candidate most talked
about by the rank and file of the party
! 4 do not believe there ever was time
when the drift of public sentiment to
ward a certain candidate was so un
mistakable," said one democratic mem
Der of the house from the middle west
Wilson will be nominated if the ma
chine democrats do not name the dele
gates"
The friends of Governor wilson arr
now engaged in perfecting an organiza
ton that will attempt to get results il
the way of delegates. The Wilson peo
Pile have come to realize that public
sentiment is a good thing as far as j
goes, but that it takes something NOR
than public sentiment to control th'
election of delegates to a national con
vention. An effort will be made t
form a Wilson organization in ever,
state-an organization that will under
take to bring about the election o
delegates friendly to the nomination
of the New Jersey governor.
