ing Receptions.

1000 people last night in the First
Regiment Armory, appealed to the
voters to support Congressman Me-
Coy, Townsend and Kinkead, took is
sue with President Taft, defended the
administration of Grover Cleveland
and plead for a Democratic congress
to work with him in Washington if
he should be elected President.
The Governor made the same APP
peal at meetings in Montclair and
Orange. Long before the scheduled
hour the crowd began to gather at
the Newark rally. Mayor Haussling
was introduced as chairman by City
Counsel James r. Nugent.
"a gathering like this shows which
way the wind is blowing said the
mayor. as he introduced Congress-
man Mccoy. 81 feel honored to pre-
side over this meeting where we do
honor to the next President of the
United States" said he.
Other speakers who preceded the
Governor were Congressman Kinkead
and Judge William Hughes. ST be-
lieve this great crowd is present pri-
marily to g honor to the next Presi-
dent" SO Mr.. Kinkead, "and
secondly to testify to it's loyalty to
the present chief executive of New
ark, Mayor Haussling. l am con-
vinced that the efforts to defeat
Mayor Haussling by besmirching the
fair name of the city Is going to fail"
Governor Wilson said in part:
81 am here upon a national errand.
This is the closing week of the great
national campaign. / come here not
as a candidate for the Presidency,
but to point out to you some of the
things that you must do If you want
to control the government of the
United States"
1.-THE object i have in view is to be
serviceable to the people of the United
States and ~serviceable to dear old
New Jersey In putting the control OF
the government back into the hands
of the rank and file of America. But,
I said, you will observe, the govern
ment of the United States. ! did not
say merely the Presidency of the
United States. l meant not only the
House of Representatives. for we
have got that now, and W. are going
to keep II. ] am not at his point
going to stop to commend to you the
record of the member of Congress
from this district. All l have to say
Is that the members of Congress for,
whom some portions of the county of
Essex are going to vote will bear a
verv close scrutiny of their records.
"They have fought and voted k
true supporters of Democratic policy,
and the best thing that a man can get
to speak for him is his record, not his
professions. l, therefore, invite you
to look at the records of Mr.. Mccoy
and Mr.. Kinkead and Mr.. Townsend,
and then I know what you will do;
YOU will send them back to Washing
tom.
"By slow degrees the tide of Demo-
cratic control has been coming on.
There is no doubt what the people or
the United States think oil purpose.
But they have not yet got thai cita-
del WllCn llt5 III tht
d thing and the last thing for
the people to get is the Senate OF the
| United States. Therefore, | have come
here by assignment OF the National
committee chiefly to speak for the
Essex Democratic legislative ticket.
You may think that by going to the
nolls at the primaries you settled II
that William Hughes is going to be
our next Senator. l find a great many
people talking as If it were all owe
| since the primaries.
"NYhy, the primaries, ] am sorry to
saw. do not elect Senators of the
United states. They merely desig-
nate party candidates; and therefore
if YOU are going to ave William
Hughes in the Senate of the United
States, you must have IA Democratic
majority il the legislature of New
Jersey. These gentlemen who are
candidates for the Democratic repre-
s~entation from the county of ESSEX
have again and again in the mos
explicit and solemn to me in
dividually and to their party pledged
themselves to vote for William
Hughes for Senator. Therefore, 1t is
my duty and my privilege to come
and say 10 you what two years age
In said to you with regard to the State
of Now Jersey.
81 said: DO not send me to Tren-
ton with a hostile Legislature Now
l say: DO not send me to Washing
ton with a hostile Legislature. See
to it that the Democratic team Is
solid and complete, so that we can
put this thing through-~this 9reat
enterprise of restoring the govern
ment t. the people which we have
undertaken
But some people have dificultie:
in their minds. They say in the
first place: oh, yes, that is all very
well: but there was "A grade crossing
bill, which you did not sign Yes
there was. Did you ever read it
No man with any knowledge o
physical possibilities or of business
could have originated or signed tina
grade crossing bill. 1t would have
been impossible of performance. +
would have broken down, it woult
have discredited the very thing. w,
were trying TO do; and 1 have al
along supported. and will always
support, a business-like and practi
cable elimination of grade crossings
in the state OF New Jersey.
IT read on very high authority |
the Democrats were put in power
there would be a panic in the United
