CRAFT WILL END
If Commission
PLAN IS ADOPTED
Says Governor Wilson in Plea
for Reform in Jersey
City.

JERSEY CITY, July 15.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey car
ried his fight for city government by
commission into Jersey City last night.
Governor Wilson urged its acceptance
on a people whom, he said, had been
governed so long by a few men that
these men had come to think they
owned the people n the government.
and could borrow its money.
THE commission government will put
IN end TO graft" said the Governor.
There is nothing so terrible as the
gaze upon a CRATER of his honest fell
low-citizen who formerly had confidence
In him. There is nothing like watch
ing those in office. One of the advan-
tages of being in a conspicuous posi-
ton is that 1t keeps you honest. You
can't do any funny things In public.
This is called the Governors cause
he went on, but 1t is the peoples cause.
and so long as it is. and is for their
benefit. l am honored in having my
name connected with 1t. This Is not an
experiment. 1t is not a new thing. In
some form it Is in operation in all the
best governed cities of the world. I
challenge any man to contradict or
c~ontrovert this.
Governors cause!' he said, with
sarcasm. 1T is the peoples cause. The
commission form Is just. 1t gives the
people the control of their own affairs.
and If they don't van to control their
own affairs 1 have no more to say
about 1t.
Easy to Talk About.
"It Is easy to talk about the commits
sion plan because 1t is so simple. You
can watch five men, but you cannot
watch twenty-five. Everything these
five do must be done in public. You
can see just III they stand on all
questions, for o have their aye and
their nay votes.
ION my arrival here this afternoon /
was handed a paper drawn UP by the
City Democratic Committee. saying
Jersey City had tried the COM
mission years ago and 1t was a failure.
1t Is not true. Reference vas had to
the plan put forward In 1871, when the
Legislature down at Trenton selected
all the members of three boards, or
rather they were selected by a little
coterie of politicians here, and you had
nothing to do with It.

rich In the minority. and whenever /
can I would put government In the
hands of poor men. l would let the
majority, who can be protected only by
