GOVERNOR WILSON

NEWARK, Sept. 25-In a speech In
this city Governor Wilson said that
judging by the thousands of sample pri-
mary ballots that have been returned
because of fraud in the registration OF
voters he feared that his own election
might have been brought about by
fraud. He said:

He declared the failure Of the local
postoftice department to locate more

that there were enormous frauds at re-
cent elections. Continuing, the gov
crnor said:
THE destinies of the people for the
last ten or fifteen years have been con-
trolled by a group of men made up of
cooperative elements, one Of which
was the political machine and the other
the agents of selfish corporations. They
told you who to vote for and who could
vote.
The postmen have told US the result
OF the more than LOCO returned letters
In the city of Newark. Many of them
were addressed to vacant lots and in
many instances scores of persons were
credited with residence where only one
or two legal voters lodged.
I'VE know there has been an epor-
nous fraudulent vote in the primary
and general elections in Newark, and
the proper affdavits will be made to
the courts at once. We do not want TO
win elections except by the votes of
men who have the right to vote.
