DR. WILSON TELLS
SAME OLD STORY
At MEETING HERE
GoyernOr.elect Weakens in His
Support Of James E.
MARITIME.
ABSENCE OF UNION LABEL
CAUSES SHARP CRITICISM
Organizations Threaten to Take
Action Because of Omis-
sion of Seal.

Newark s-fabor organizations arr
threatening to take official action be-
cause Of the fact that the printed mat
ter (hand- bills, posters. circulars ant
tickets) for the Wilson meeting at th'
New Auditorium Saturday night did mo-
bear the union LABEL
Union men who attended the meetinf
expressed indignation at the absenc'
Of the union symbol, and declared tina
there was but one conclusion to draw
that the printing had been done In 2
scab shop
Views OF Union Men Expressed
It was argued by members of tht
allied printing trades that unior
shops are only too willing and anxious
to put the union label on all work they
turn out, and that politicians who
overlook the imprint insult organized
labor The subject is being investi.

Scandalous circulars recently, issued by
the Socialists, maligning former sena-
tor James Smith. jr., did not contain
the union label imprint, but there IL
d good reason In such cases. as ths
printer Of libelous matter can easily be
discovered when union labels are used
Each union shop is numbered
Audience Is small.
There were about one-half the num-
Der of people in the little auditorium as
there were in the big auditorium
Kruger s--when DR.. Wilson spoke
during the campaign. The enthusiasm
was split in about the same proper
tion, too. Republicans and Democrats
made up the audience, many coming
from out of town. Governor Wilson'S
ewly-appointed secretary, Joseph p
Tumulty, come over from Hudson
county with a delegation. They occu-
pied seats on the stage. Ninety-five
per cent. Of the people on the stage
were non-residents of Newark. Faces
seen at the Jersey City meeting by the
hundreds were in the hall, and the lack
Of cheering was probably due to the
sameness of the two speeches. The
Newark speech was just as disappoint-
ing as the Jersey City one. Kisses and
applause were blended, and II was no
doubt the most unappreciative audi
ence that DR.. Wilson ever talked to.
The audience wanted something diff
ferent than what 1t got. There were
not enough Scotch-I Irish in the audi
torium to make the meeting q "howling
success" There wasn't corporal $
guard that applauded the speakers s
reference to his Scotch Irish blood. :"
It was no doubt expected TO prove the
hit of the evening.
Makes Final Plea.
The Governor elects final plea for
the election of James H. MARITIME Was
more frivolous than serious. His
failure to reply to the positive asser-
ton of former Senator Smith md Of
several Hudson assemblymen tina. he
had referred to the primary election. SO
far as the senatorial reference was con-
cerned, as farce" and to the candi-
appointing to everybody
Admits His Error.
The nearest Governor Wilson
came to explaining his peculiar atu-
tude was when he admitted the error
into which he had fallen in his per-
sonal attack on former Senator Smith
in the following words, referring to bis
"I asked very pertinent and direct
questions of some of the gentlemen
as to why they wanted me to run;
fhau did o1xyO mn wv . 4.
factory explanation; therefore 1 had
to be false theory"
The doctors declaration that MARITIME
would be elected was given doubtful
applause. His funny stories we're en-
joyed by all. AS humorist the doctor
Is certainly entertaining, ~but his ar
gument in favor of MARITIME was so fiat
that it passed unnoticed. Mr.. MARITIME
was not present to offer proof that his
' as a Joke.
The meeting was called to order by
Samuel Kaiisch. He turned the gaveI
over to Senator Osborne, who in in
the Governor-ele said:
I'VE are here tonight to listen to the
next Governor Of the State, woodrow
In behalf of the cause, and It
rs pecullaIlN Cue cause OF the people.
II has been said that this contest for
the nomination of the United States
Senator as outlined in the present fight
~ way of the direct vote Of the people
has no significance, that there is no
involved. Are we TO forget
hat the Democratic party in 1907 de-
Jared in its platform expressly for the
iirect nomination Of the United states
Senator by the vote of the people? Are
we to forget in the platform +Hst year,
although in different language and by
way of constitutional amendment,
he same principle was involved II
hese expressions of opinion on behalf
II the party through their platform did
rot represent principle for which we
must stand, what does represent such a
lrinciple? The contest has now mar
owed down to the question whether
he Democratic party is TO keep faith
With the people. We have made cer-
ain promises and we must Keep them.
There is q crisis before us and in this
,risis, Just as In any other crisis in the
