WILSON STRONG
The Governor Of New jersty Seems To
be Gaining Strength.
LOOKS LIKE A WINNER

gWWAO LlME "A WllVlSEA
WILSON STRONG. ...s
Since His Visit to Columbia it Looks.
Like He Will Get Solid South Car
olina Delegations Support, and He
Looms Up Strong in All Parts Of
the Country.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle says Woodrow
Wilson made an impression there. He
was heard by the people that really
count in South Carolina, and the
general opinion is that he will 10.
ceive the full vote Of the South Car
olina delegation at the national con-
vention. 49, e.. ..-..-. .-..-
South Carolina Is regarded as most
important in the matter Of nomina-
tions. The state convention here
will be held before others, and it is
safe to say that the delegation will
be instructed for Woodrow Wilson.
The other states will watch how
South Carolina instruets her dele
gates. ..
The governor of this state is
against Governor Wilson for the SIM
pie reason that he delivered an adj
dress before the members of the
State Press association. The govern
or, when he heard that Woodrow
Wilson was to be the principal speak
er at the association meeting, i'm
mediately declared himself for Har-
mon.
1t is very doubtful If the govern
or Of South Carolina can give SEN
sible reason for desiring Governor
Harmon. 1t is all personal spite
with him, and anything to hit back at
the editors of South Carolina.
Fortunately for Woodrow Wilson
the opinion of the governor Of South
Carolina is held very lightly by the
people, and the governor Of New
Jersey need have little fear Of the
fight that the governor Of this state
will stare in the convention against
him.
The governor of South Carolina,
knows practically nothing of Wood
row Wilson. He is not capable OF
sizing up a man of the size Of the
governor of New Jersey, and it is ta.'
ken for granted that he selected
Governor Harmon because some or
the newspapers have made the sug-
gestion.
Wilson in Washington.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Atlanta Constitution says Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, uf New Jer-
sey, prominently mentioned for the
democratic nomination for president,
Mr.. Bryan being willing, Saturday
gave his Endorsement to- the Under
wood bill for the revision of the
woolen schedule. In thus taking a
position in favor Of a revenue duty
on wool at the present time, Gov
ernor Wilson supports the position
of leader Underwood and Speaker
Clark, and dramatically opposes the
views of Mr.. Bryan. The latter Ia
belled as "Aldrich democrats, any
one who would vote for a duty on
raw wool.
Admitting that the doctrine Of free
raw materials may easily be carried
to an absurd extent, since the gov
ernment derives most Of the revenue
for its maintenance through the GUS
toms houses Governor Wilson agrees
that the question of revenue must OF
necessity enter into the discussion OF
! the revision of the wooden schedule.
So large a number Of members or
congress- and we'll wishers dropped
in on Governor Wilson Saturday that
his room at the Willard resembled q
campaign headquarters. He took ad-
vanced around On the subject Of free
dom of political thought and dealt
with frankness upon the fuidity of
party lines. He said: d..
Men everywhere seem to be OF
the same mind. The next campaign
Is going to mark the political OBJ
liberation of old time political lines.
It Is going to be a campaign of men
and measures, rather than cam
paign Of parties.
THE people are going to vote for
man whom they believe will carry
out the things for which they stand.
rather than a man who processes to
represent the principles Of one OF the
parties. There is mild distinction
YOU know, between principles and
measures"
