CERTAIN THAT
WILSON IS
COMING

(By United Press Leased Wire.y
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Gover-
nor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, the democratic nominee
for presidents intends to strength
en- his fences in the Middle West.
This much was made certain
here today at a conference at ma
tiOnal democratic headquarters
attended by Wilson and a number
of his political advisers, includin
Rudolph Spreckels of San Fran
cisco. Following the conference
it was admitted that Wilson's
western trip opening at Sioux
City, Iowa, would be expected. but
just how far, has not been de-
termined.
Governor Wilson may follow
in the wake of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt's western trip. This
trip, it Is understood, will not be
made In the one to be started at
Sioux Cit, September II, but may
be made in one that is to follow.
Governor Wilson was fairly
mobbed here today at the opening
of the tariff exhibition. The crowd
was so big that an overflow meet
ing was held in Union Square.
Governor Wilson in his speech
maintained that the present tarifr
meant fewer jobs for the workers
and putting the control of the
output of industries in the hands
of a favored few.

The whole plan OF Randolph Mason

young Winfield Gerry. He slipped his

Presently Judge Hacker closed the
volume and returned it to the table.
Then he spoke to Stratton. You seem

decision of the United States circuit
