POKE FUN AT GOV. WILSON
All in Good Humor at the Sen
ators' Dinner for Him.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. !

Atlantic city Feb. There We're no set
speeches prepared to complete the dinner
and aid the digestion of Governor Wilson
and tho New Jersey Senators tonight.
Most of the talks were in a humorous vein,
and a good deal of fun was flung at the
Governor on his Presidential cunning trip
for delegates.
The Governor though somewhat tired
out by his Southern trip and attendance
upon the publishers dinner in Philadelphia
last night. was quick In getting back at
his tormentors For the first time in many
years every member OF tho New Jersey
Senate was present at Governors din
ner.
The table upon which the banquet was
served was arranged in the form of a re-
production of the state of New Jersey. Th.'
boundary lines Of each county were clearly
defined. and the Senator's. represented y
small figures. were shown standing in theic
own districts and presenting senate bills
upon the particular hobby which each -
backing before the Legislature.
4 larger figure representing the Cover
nor, stood at Trenton. and in the near dis
tauce was shown n beautifully modelled
White House, exactly similar To the stru"t-
IRE at Washington A number of strings
fioated from the hands Of the figure rep
rescnting Governor Wilson TO the White
House and this clever feature was the sub
ject Of much good natured raillery as the
Senator's and Governor Wilson fled into
the banquet hall OF the Marlborough len-
helm and took their seats.
The country ana intervening sections be-
tween New Jersey and Washington were
filed i'm with floral decorations and scenery,
making altogether a decidedly novel ar

Senator La Toilette also attacked the
trusts and the Supreme Court OF the
United States for the antitrust decis-
ions He urged absolute prohibition vi
combinations, and said the tariH Id"
should be brought down to the diliei

Governor Wilson, who sat to the rlshl
Of Senator La Toilette and saw anu
heard the Wisconsin man talk hiihssIi
to death" I'm a political sense, was prop
ably the most patient and respectful
auditor. . For a time he made notes Oh
the points in the Senator's speech, but
finally dessted. fitting his chair ana
slowly swinging back and forth put
never once relaxing his bearing OF at

wilson's face did not appear to grow
deeper as Senator La Toilette became
more and more involved in the bad
graces of his hearers.
Others might lmpatiently consult theT
watches. as scores did In plain view OF
the Senator from Wisconsin. but the
former president of Princeton University
let fall no word, gave no sign, that ne
was wearied.
Senator La Toilette had paid a gra-
cious compliment to Governor Wilson by
hoping" that II Democrat had to be
elected II would be the Governor OF New
Jersey. The Senator had also heartily
congratulated the Governor at the eni
Of his speech, and the latter man was
evidently determined not to be outdone
i'm matter of courtesy.
