in Democratic Ranks.
MAKES THREE SPEECHES
Greeted by Hundreds on Lawn Of
His Home at Seagirt.
JERSEY CLUB BEARS HIS NAME
Tells Hearers Men Who Are in
Search of Reform Are Turning
to Democracy.

| SEAGIRT n. J.. August 1O.-1n the
dusty road which fringes the lawn of the
! summer capital here, Gov. Woodrow
Wilson stood shaking hands today with
hundreds of democrats who serenaded
| him with brass bands. In all he made
| three campaign speeches
| First came the Hungarian National
Democratic Club of New YORK city. The
governor assured them he never had in
tended anything disrespectful in his
writings on foreigners and that he had
always felt high regard for European
people because of his long study of their
history The members of the delegation,
headed by Morris Cucknor of New York,
said they would support his candidacy.
The Brooklyn Democratic Club came
later in the day. To them the governor
said:
Il am compimented by your allegiance
and / want to assure you that while l
think this a very high personal compli-
ment, | take it to myself simply that l,
for the present, at any rate, represent the
earnest desires and purposes of the demo-
cratic party. And yet it seems to me
that We are standing in the presence of
something higher than allegiance to the
democratic party.
Willing to Show the Way.
''The country has been disappointed in
the republican party and it is turning to
the democratic party. That party is will
ing to show the way toward those things
which must be realized Some gentlemen
seem to find it easy to make personalities
out of politics. but it seems to me that
whenever that is done, politics are de-
based.
IL, ~f, form 70
now resorting to the democratic party.
because for my own part. 1 do not
know where else they will turn to ex-
pect results There is no dlscount1ng
the strength and serviceabil1ty OF
united party and the splendid part is
that the democratic party is United. The
party came out of the contest at the BAL
timore convention without personal feel
ing of any kind. l am delighted to be-
lieve that whoever we may have sup
ported for nomination, We are now glad
to work together.
Addresses Jersey Club.
To the Woodrow Wilson Club of
Orange, n. j., the governor made long
er speech in response to one by Judge
Daniel A Dugan. The governor remarked,
first, that he was glad to be introduced
by Judge Dugan, because It showed there
were good Irishmen among these Orange
men,
II was glad" said the governor. with
a laugh. ito see the north and south OF
Ireland brought together"
The governor thanked the Jersey delega
| ton for its visit.
You have tested my qualities, because
| YOU have known me at close range, he
said, land if you will be kind enough to
youch for me, perhaps the rest of the
| country will be credulous of your report
| New Jersey was known as the mother
| of trusts-a very troublesome and ques-
| tionable family-and ! had to spend my
| time outside of New Jersey assuring the
people of the Union that it was not the
| fault of the disposition of the people OF
| New Jersey that there were certain gen
| tlemen who had undertaken to carry ne
republican party in their pockets and to
| administer it independently of the rank
and file of the republicans of the state.
"And yet it would be hard. nowadays,
| to discriminate New Jersey from the rest
: of the United States, because everybody
| is sitting up and taking notice. New
Jersey is progressive, but the United
States also is progressive, and We have
| here merely delightful sample of the
people of the United States.
Under Peculiar Responsibility.
| Now those people are not bent upon
destroying anything but they are bent
upon setting everything in order they are
| bent upon justice, they are bent upon
seeing TO it that the people in general
are the partners of the government, as
| / was trying to show the other day. And
the democratic party is now placed under
| a peculiar responsibility. The democratic
party has to prove that it is the worthy
| instrument of that zeal on the part of
the people of the United States. If it
| doesn't prove it now ii will never be
| given another cham eto prove it, No
party that proves unfaithful to that ideal
will ever again be trusted by the people
| of America.
| And, therefore. we are standing at
turning point in politics: We must
make good go out of business. In
| the vernacular. it is case of put up or
| shut up because words going to be
! discounted and nothing will be hOnored
| except the actual carrying out Of such
| a program as sensible men may unite in
| for the common benefit"
