WILSON Plan 4 N. Wise N St
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE THE
APOSTLE or REFORM, NOT
OF REVOLUTION.
he SEES INDUSTRIOUS ABUSES
Would Correct Them by Cutting On
the Vicious Tariff Favors Which
sj# Have Built Up Monopoiies and
y Trusts.
Gov Wilson is the apostle Of reform.

Gov. Wilson is the apostle OF reform,
not of revolution.
Gov. Wilson believes that the con-
stitution of the United States has been
misconstrued and perverted, not out
grown.
Gov. Wilson Is the only candidate
before the people today who at once
realizes that reforms are necessary,
and who proposes rational and consti-
Stutional means for effecting these re-
forms.
There are great, there are monstrous
abuses, even in this free land.
The government OF the United
States has done many things that it
ought not to have done; and has left
undone many things which it should
have strained every nerve to do.
The government of the United
States has built up bloated fortunes,
and granted to favored manufacturers
the power to tax the people; and at
the same time. the government has
failed-as every government always
fails--to keep In proper subsection the
monopolies it has created.
What shall be done to get rid Of
these abuses?
President Taft says in substance
that nothing much need be done. and
that whatever is done need not be
done In hurry. Next century will
do quite as we'll as now.
Mr.. Roosevelt says in substance
that everything must be done. and
that the only way to do it Is to throw
the constitution in the scrap-heap: and
make him practical dictator Of the
land, with the trusts and monopolies
as his associates and counselors.
Gov. Wilson makes neither of these
plumbers. 55
Gov. Wilson says that the first
thing to be done in correcting abuses
is to cut OF the favors which nourish
those abuses-the vicious tariff favors
which have built up monopolies and
trusts.
There Is nothing revolutionary
about that. But from the way every
trust In the land is rallying to the sup
port OF either Taft or Roosevelt. you
can see that the trust magnates think
Gov. Wilson's plan is likely to be ef-
fective.
Gov. Wilson says that competition
Is better regulator of prices than
q dozen government bureaus. He pro-
poses to restore competition by smash
ing the illegal combinations which
have killed competition.
Again, here is nothing revolutionary
but listen to the way the sugar trust,
and the steel trust. and the wooden
trust, and all the other trusts are
screaming against Wilson! s
Gov. Wilson knows that the general
form of our government needs no
changing. The agencies Of govern
ment need to be changed In spirit.
They need to be taken out Of the hands
of the interests and put in the hands
Of the people.
Gov. Wilson offers himself as the
peoples agent.
Gov. Wilson has proven in New Jer.
sey that an earnest, clear.headed man

WORK HEAPEO UP
FOR GOVERNOR
Questions Concerning November
Elections Already Beginning
TO Press for Answer.

When Governor Frear returns the
fret thing put before him will be mat
tcrs relating to the coming local elec-
tious in November. During his occu-
pancy of the Governor 5 chair, Secre-
tary Mott.Smith has managed to find
spare time enough to get all of the
numerous petitions in shape for final
consideration.
There will in all be six precincts cut
in two, adding six to the list and the
necessary plans and the data relating
to them have been abstracted and are
ready for the gubernatcrial scrutiny.
Ii will devolye upon Governor Frear
to issue proclamations making the
changes, which become necessary either
through over-crowding or by reason of
an area too large to handle convent
emily.
1t is to be doubted whether all of
the 365-day politicians, who are legion,
will know Just what's what next year.
The great register law and few others
passed by the last legislature make
some considerable changes. The Act
ing-Governor has compiled all the cleo
ton laws as they now stand and the
stenographer commenced work on them
yesterday in order to have them ready
by the time the Governor arrives. They
will be properly annotated.
The candidates hereafter will have
to file with their nomination papers the
name of the party which nominated
them. The party name will then appear
before their own name on the ballot,
although the names of the candidates
themselves will still be arranged alpha
betically instead of in rows by parties.
Another change caused by the pas
sage of the great register law is made
in the boards of registration, which
now lose their previous functions and
become simply courts to review appeals
from the decisions of the county clerks.
In case the clerk has refused to regis
ter anyone or registered one question
ably, action may be taken on it by the
board. 1t may also decide challenges.
Under the new law the registry of a
voter may be challenged at the time
he signs the great register.
At least thirty days before the elec-
ton is allowed the candidate to file
his nomination papers with the secre-
tary of the Territory. Last year the
thirtieth day fell on Sunday and Sec
retary Mott Smith refused to accept
the papers of one candidate when they
were turned in the next day. The case
was carried to the supreme court and
considerable oratory resulted
This year the thirtieth day before
the election again falls on Sunday,
as, of course, it will as long as election
day is set on specified day of the
week instead of specified day of the
month. This time the secretary has
decided to keep his Office open all day
Sunday but other legal entanglements
are expected, just the same.
