ltinues the leading candidate in their
district You note the talk of Repre-
sentative Sweet, the member from
Michigan, and the report he makes of
his state is duplicated by reports from
many states in the west and middle
west.
'New Jersey will elect delegates to
the national convention by a primary
vote, and all candidates must announce
their presidential preference before
their names go on the ticket There
remains, of course, some danger of
detection IN Essex county but with
the sentiment of New Jersey demo-
Gratis so overwhelming for Governor
Wilson, / do not believe he will lose
delegate when the vote is finally
counted. We will have four additional
delegates next year, as we were giyeu
two new congressional districts. New
Jersey gained 100000 in population
during the last ten years, and the two
new districts will be not far from New
York City.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 13.-A telegram
from Lebanon, Pa, to The Scranton
Times, says;
George D. Krause of this city, and
Cornelius Meyer, former county com
missioner of Myerstown, have an
nounced their candidacy for delegate
to the democratic national and state
conventions Krause seeks to repre-
sent the Lebanon -Dauphin-C Cumberland
district in the national body, and
Meyer Lebanon county in the state
convention Both are pledged to sup
port Woodrow Wilson for the nomina-
ton.
Columbus, o., Dec. 13.-The follow
ing is from The Ohio State Journal.
I Sentiment in the west is divided be-
tween Woodrow Wilson and President
Taft for the two presidential nomina-
tions, according~to the observations of
Rev. Fletcher L. Wharton, pastor of
THE Wesley Methodist Episcopal
church, who has just returned from a
trip in that part of the country and a
visit with friends in Lincoln, Neb
Theodore Roosevelt has number
of admirers in the west, said Rev. Mr..
+, Wharton, and many of them would
like to see him be the presidential
nominee, but they do not think that he
| will be a candidate under any condi-
ton. From what | could gather, Viii
son is the strongest candidate now be-
ing considered by democrats in the
western part of the country"
Buffalo, N Y, Dec. 13.-The follow
ing is from The Buffalo Times:
DR. David Starr Jordan, president
of Leland Stanford, Jr., university. of
Berkeley, Cal, is in Buffalo to deliver
an address on "The Cost of War" at
the Buffalo Society of Natural Science.
What is the political situation in the
west?" was asked.
California is in the hands of the
progressive republicans" answered
DR.. Jordan. eThe state will go to some
one named from the progressive ele-
ment, although believe that Presi-
dent Taft is growing stronger. His
last explanation will tend to produce
that effect. However, believe that if
Woodrow Wilson were nominated by
the democrats he would carry the west.
He is the vests first choice. think
that Wilson would carry California. .
Washington. D. Co Dec. 9.-The
Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Transcript sends the following
Presidential politics is on all tongues
at the capitol. The senators and rep
resentatives are talking almost moth
ling else. Regardless of their personal
preferences, northern and southern
democrats alike admit that Woodrow
/ Wilson is the candidate most talked
about by the rank and file of the party.
81 do not believe there ever was time
when the drift of public sentiment to-
ward a certain candidate was so un-
mistakable,' said one democratic mem
Der of the house from the middle west.
Wilson will be nominated If the ma
chine democrats do not name the dele
gates
The friends of Governor Wilson are
now engaged in perfecting an organiza-
ton that will attempt to get results in
the way of delegates. The Wilson peo-
pie have come to realize that public
sentiment is a good thing as far as it
goes, but that it takes something more
than public sentiment 90 control the
election of delegates to a national con-
vention An effort will be made to
form q Wilson organization in every
state-an organization that will under
take to bring about the election of
delegates friendly to the nomination
of the New Jersey governor
