URGES CAMDEN
TO GET AWAKE
Governor Wilson Tells peo-
pie of South Jersey Metrop-
oils Some Plain Truths.
TIME TO BE REDEEMED
Wants People to Shake Off
Grip in Which City IS
Held by Machine.

Camden, Oct. TIN two tremand-
GUS ovations in Camden last hight
Governor Woodrow Wilson made 1t
plain that the city and county over
which "Davy' Baird rules politically
needs to wake up. In his opinion
that section Of the country is still
asleep and has not heard what Is
going on in the world. The selec-
ton of William j. Browning as q
Republican candidate for congress-
in the First district showed, he said,
that 1t had not heard that joe"
Cannon was dead and defunct. He
gave unmerciful lashing to the inter-
est-controlled machine, and declared
that every man who attempted to
play fair with the people In the last
Legislature had been punished HN the
stamp OF its disnpproyal, JUST as
Senator bradley had been punt she'd
In Camden county.
That the governor was chose to

great audiences that faced him and
sat intent upon every word he utter
ed was visible to even a novice. Els
very appearance was the signal for
tremendous stir among the jamned
audiences, and In his allusions to the
sleepy condition of Camden under
its gang rule he was accorded a mark
of approval that could not be mis-
construed. and when, In the final
appeal, he exclaimed impressiVely.
II trust that the 7th OF November
will see Camden's redemptionl"
there came cheers and mighty
wave Of applause.

In the meetings at the Temple tfea-
tire uptown and the Broadway thea
| tire, downtown, must have given the
Baird machine men something to
contemplate which they did not rel-s
| ish. When nearly as large meetings
were held last year and the enthusi-
asm for the man as candidate man
lifested itself at every turn, the Baird
men sneered and said the crowds
were made up OF Republicans drawn
| out OF curiosity to See the presidenS
of Princeton. They had not the
fslightest fear OF the result Of the

Two Great Meetings.
