STUMP SPEECHES
Declares His Program Will
Call for Few Appearances
Outside State.

SEA GIRT, N. j., Aug. 24.-With
the idea thai the country is tired of
stumping tours and an excess of
speech-making, Governor Woodrow
Wilson announced today that his
present plans call for very few cam
paign speeches. not many outside OF
New Jersey and then only on par
ticular occasions to which he VIII
have received invitations.
The governor said that next Mon
day morning he would confer with
Vice-Chairman McAdoo in New York
and as many members of the national
committee as could be gathered for
common counsel. The plan of speak
ing engagements will be arranged at
hat time, although the governor ex-
planned that his advisers already were
unanimously opposed to a swing
around the circle or stumplng tour
of any kind. Out of 200 letters re-
ceived from people who were not
politicians It's suggested hat the gov
ernor conduct "a dignified, stay-at-
home campaign"
There will not be any large num-
Der of speeches away from New Jer-
sey,'' said Governor Wilson today.
Still nobody knows h the level
opments of the campaign will be. 1t
is the general judgment that this is
the most effective way to conduct
this campaign. From my general cor
respondence l find that a great ma
iority of the people believe that
ought not to make any great num-
Der of speeches. The country is tired
of stumping tours. The arguments
on the other side come from men
active in politics. They are horri-
fed that the usual program viii not
be followed in this campaign.
my private judgment is that ex-
tended stamping tours are not the
most effective method of conducting
a campaign. I may make a consid-
cradle number of speeches, but as for
going about and ~canvassing the coun-
try I have no such intention"
The Governor also pointed out that
the man who drew the biggest crowds
did not always get the most votes
The Governor explained that he prob
ably would be unable to travel far
away liOIn N6M oCloCy tdh Ills
duties as Governor required him tC
be in close touch with State affairs
For the present the Governors en-
gagements are: August 20, Williams
Grove, Pa, picnic of Pennsylvania
State Changers; September 4, dinner
by Workingmen's Woodrow Wilson
League of. New York: Sentember 10
American Spanish War eVterans at
Atlantic City. N. j.: September Il,
New York State Fair at Syracuse,
N. Y.
The Governor is watching the devel-
opment of the Penrose-Archbold dis
closures in connection with the Roose-
welt campaign. He declined to com
ment on them, but it is, probable that
he will have something to say on the
subject in future speeches.

Eyes, we're rivals" she continued,
"and 1 suppose each of us will think

I think it's fine to offer prizes to

"Do I think We'll start on time?
Well, l just know it. You see, if we

The band referred to, reader, is the

ming of my story. And don't you
wish that there was a band with a
motto, mo money, no playee," at
the head of every parade? How many
aching feet would not ache and how
many sweet tempers would continue
to be sweet. A parade that starts on
time, whether every one is in line
or not That's worth taking a ride
to Belleville to see. Don't you think
so?

Scaine, Mrs. William Otter. Miss Ida

Hamilton, of Nyack, has just pur-
chased the historic house at Van

parties of Washington's forces going
up and down the river. The general
himself often visited the place. A
party of troops guarding the British
spy Major Andre took breakfast in
the room to the right of the porch on
their way to West Point on the

$500, 000, 900 bushels; the hay crop is
heavy and other crops are all good.
That's the answer to that"
Mr.. Wilson was naturally a little
perplexed at what the Daily Mail
could be driving at in going so con-
trary to facts. If the crops had been
poor in America and the English
newspaper correspondent, for pur-
poses of his own wished to
ate and make matters appear worse.

bearing of American crops abroad

new. But to select a year when
crops are breaking all records for
prosperity and blithely say there are
no crops at all is beyond compre-
hension here.

York Cotton Exchange, laughed at
the London report. He said he cot

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-James

make a record as an accurate fore
caster of American crops. The

synopsis of what the Daily Mail was
telling its readers about there being
no crops to move in America this
year. He did not get any further

Then he added.

ously yesterday afternoon when our reyered stall
