WILSON SURE
OF A VICTORY
Governor Comments on Re-
cent Trip to Texas.
fFrou. the NEWS Correspondent

from fbc NE VS. CorTeSpondenfJ
Trenton, Nov. 1.-Progressiveness
continues to be very much In evil
dence in the west, according TO the
observations OF Governor Wilson.
After having spent a day In Madi-
son, Wisconsin, and another in Dali
las, Texas. and having travelled
1000 miles In five days, or an aver
age of about 500 miles q day, the
governor got back to his desk in
the State house yesterday afternoon,
Discussing his trip, he declared 1t
was astonishing how wide awake
the people are throughout the coun-
try, and how uniformly In earnest
to take their government in their
own hands.
Governor Wilson was asked how
he had been received on the trip in
the western states with reference to
himself rs a prospective Presidential
candidate. He did not care to dis
cuss this question as 1t was a per-
sonal matter, but finally said his
receptions were al cordial as they
have been In New Jersey.
The governor discussed the polit-
ical outlook in New Jersey based on
his campaign tour which has taken
him into seventeen counties. He said
from his observations and reports to
him he believed both branches. OF
the legislature would go Democratic
next Tuesday. He said there Was q
duplication of the interest OF last
year. He declared himself partic-
ularly hopeful because the Republi-
cans seemed to be on the defensive.
When told that the registration In
the state has fallen off 80. 900 he
smiled and said:
THAT Is just about my majority
last year. I hope there is nc signif-
canoe in that"
Continuing, he thought that q
great part of the slump In registra.
ton was due to the fact that under
the new election laws phantom
registration lis not possible.
The governor declared that there
would be no "off" years in politics
So-called "of" years are detrimental.
to popular government, he said, and
he maintained that all the voters
should take an active interest In
elections every year"

'BIJ0U PLAY is
The BEST YET
Dads Girl" Draws Patrons
TO Popular Theatre.

There is an exceptionally good
play on at the Bijou this week. 1t
la Dads GIRL" a rural comedy
drama by u. J.. Swartz, and 1t offers
the actors excellent opportunity to
do very clever work. There Is strong
heart interest from the rise to the
fall of the final curtain and the cast
provided by the stock company Is
well fitted for the proper handling
of the play. The stage settings are
good and especially the third act,
showing the beach at Nantasket.
Miss Halter appeared as the Girl,
and wore some very pretty dresses.
She looked and acted the part of
the country girl naturally and with
Campbell as Dad, was lust dear
old Dad" as clever and effective a
piece of stage work as has ever
been seer in this city. Marie Har-
court as the old maid was irresistibly
funny, provoking hearty laughs on
every appearance and wearing some
very eccentric costumes.
Miss Corda Davy, who has been
with the company but a few weeks,
but has made many friends both on
and of the stage, appeared as q
fashionable lady and wore several
pretty gowns. Mr.. J.. M. Waters,
also a new member, made a comedy
hit as Simon Heth, a marrying old
man. Mr.. Petit was manly and
forceful as Steve, and Mr.. La Sale
was a handsome and effective vii
liam. Mr.. Hartford did a clever piece
OF character work as Joe Magruder
and Mr.. Miller was amusing in an
eccentric comedy part. 1t was a
fine performance throughout and
stamps the company az being Al and
able to handle the better class OF
dramas.
Next Monday pictures of Miss
Davy will be given to the ladies as
souvenirs and on election day, Tues
day, November 7, a special matinee

BIG BALANCE IN
STATE GOLFERS
Close of Fiscal Year Yester-
day Showed S2,332,362.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

tpfOW tbC WI w OJfSoPchhCtt1
Trenton, Nov. although the
State of New Jersey started business
today with a free balance for state
purposes in its treasury of S2,332,-
362, or more than the balance of
last year by $~204,335.59, 1t also
started in under the new appropria-
ton bill passed by the last legis-
lature and which carries state obli-
cations of $5,468,217.90. Two fac
tors must be considered in this con-
~nection. One is that these new APP
preparations do not all fall due Inn
m a,harely but payments on many Of
them may be scattered through the
fiscal year, and the other Is that adj
ditional income will be constantly
received by the state.
The law provides that the states
fiscal year shall close October 81
each year and as soon as the bust
ness of the day was closed yester-
day there was great scurrying in the
offices of the State Treasurer and
State Comptroller to strike the bal
ances for the year. AS 500 as this
was accomplished State Comptroller
Edwards personally carried to Gov
ernor Wilson, who had Just re-
turned from his 1000 miles trip
west, the statement of the balance.
This was as follows:
Balance in state fund. s3,309,781.20
Less amount of rail
road tax to be dis
tributed to the coun-
ties for school pur-
poses 9~77.419.20
Net balance for state
purposes ....... $2,332,362.00
notwithstanding the balance is
larger than that of last year, the
payments this year have included
the sum of $250,000 required to be
returned from the collateral inner
a law recently declared unconstitu-
tional. In like manner s250,000
more will have to be returned und-
or an appropriation In the regular
bill which became effective today.
Governor Wilson expressed himself
as greatly pleased at the fine show
ing.
The gross balance this year was
not as large as last year, the gross
amount on hand In 1910 being s4,-
~546,188.68. This difference was
made by the change ordered by the
legislature in the method of paying
the railroad taxes over to the coun-
ties for the use of the schools. I'M
der the new law these taxes are not
held In the state treasury SO long.
The large balance calls attention
again to the fact that New Jersey
is one of the most fortunate states
in the Union as regards public debt.
The only deot this state has is $116-
600 represented by certificates Of
the state issued to the commission
ers of the Agricultural College pur-
suant to q law of 1905. Offsetting
this, however, the state owns as an
asset 1887 shares of the stock of
the United Railroad and Canal Com
pany, the present market value of
which is ~$476,000.
The receipts of the state for the
past fiscal year have not yet been
compiled, but the largest sources of
income were the railroad taxes,
amounting to more than $3,500,0 900;
taxes against miscellaneous corpor-
ations, about $2,500,000; collateral
Inheritance tax $748,00O and auto
mobile fees, $4,000. The latter are
not figured fn--the free balance, as
they are by law devoted to road i'm
provement.
