Is The Strongest Candidate
10 The East
Says Newark Man Who Re.
turns From A Trip
Newark Advocated


That the political feeling in the
East leans confidently and strongly
toward Woodrow Wilson, as the sue
cessful candidate for presidential hon.
ors in the coming election, is the con-
viction Of an Advocate representative,
after an interview with j. r. Fitzgib-
bon, of this city, who has but recently
returned from a motor trip through
the New England states.
Mr.. Fitzgibbon's trip, which COW
cred distance of over two thousand
miles, took him through the states Of
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, New
York. Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, and Vermont. The tour
was of three weeks duration, and in
almost every state the party visited
the capital. intermediate stops were
made in smaller towns and villages
and Mr.. Fitzgibbon, who is a close stu
dent OF politics and its bearing on the
daily life Of the people went to con-
siderable length to secure an unbiased
expression of the political feelings in
almost every locality.
The sum total OF his observations,
as stated TO the Advocate man this
morning is that the candidacy of Gov
ernor Wilson is more than popular in
the eastern states, while the undlgni-
fed methods of Taft and Roosevelt in
their scramble fer nomination, coupled
with the past performances of the two
men, turned food of adverse critic
ism in their direction.
In hotel lobbies, in barber shops,
and in garages, where men are in
clined to gather and discuss the po.
lit'cal situation. Mr.. Fftzgibbon said
that almost without exception the pre-
dictions were that Wilson would tri-
umph in startling fashion.
In answer to an inquiry as to the
in New York state he said:
There is very little Bull Moose
sentiment in the state outside of New
York City. the majority OF the people
being firm in the conviction that
Roosevelt's whole purpose in his cam
paign Is to give vent to personal
spleen. In some localities the Rough
Riders candidacy is not even taken
seriously but looked npon as re.
vengeful effort on the part of Roose-
welt to split the party that has re-
pudiated him."
In regard to the manner in which
the citizens of the localities through
which he passed had received Govern.
or Wilson's speech Of acceptance, Mr.
Fitzgibbon said that It was looked up
on as a most forceful and dignified
document. distinctly in keeping with
the doctrines of the party, and indica
tive of the deep thinking and high
purposes of the man who framed 1t up
He stated that thinking men through
out eastern states regarded 1t as one
of the most Illuminating and import
ant political utterances of modern
times.
I'm short" said Mr.. Fitzgibbon
Governor Wilson's speech, Of accept
ance is looked upon as splendidly
strong, conservative, sane and bust
ness like, and the feeling throughout
the east is that the voters will Offer
him tremendous testimonial Of con
fidence and support at the polls in
November"

testimony presented by both sides, the
mayor took the case under advise
ment.
The prosecuting witness, Mrs. Hen

that told by the defendant. Mrs. Hen

her front porch Sunday evening when
Mrs. Indstrode came out of her house

the street and cursed her. saying she
would give her a sound drubbing."
Mrs. Henley said that her husband
heard the profanity and coming out
of the house, ordered Mrs. Indstrode
to leave his premises. She did so.
That Mrs. Henley had told people
in that neighborhood that she, Mrs.
Indstrode. had set fire to her own
household goods in order to collect in
