WILSON LETS
 VOTERS JUDGE
 HIS CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate Would Not StOop to Personalities For Any Political Effect
Believes Rank and File of Americans Demand Dignity in High Office Holders

Copyright 1912 by the United Press.J
 Princeton, N J., Oct. Ex-Governor Wilson agrees with President TafE that personalities have no place in a Presidential campaign. He made this very plain in an exclusive interview granted the United Press today fn which he discussed the questIons an swered by President Taft in hsg inter view with the United Press cofrespon- dent at Beverly, yesterday.
 The Democratic candidate made ft clear, also, that he believes the vo4erw are satisfied with the manner i'm which paign. Governor Wilson beIIeves the rank. and file of Americans demand dignity in their high office hoIders-
 Governor Wilson, he was aaEed. Show do you believe Presidential cam paigns should be conducted2,,
 "I hope that I have made it very clear, said the candidate, ''by tho way in which I have conducted my own campaign how I think can1pafen1 ought to be conducted. think they should be conducted and directed Bv a very frank and open discussion of fhe issues involved, of the interests to be served and of the available means of doing what is proposed. This should be regarded as a very great and Heri- ous matter of national life and busi- ness.''
 sfWhat is the effect of personaHnss in a Presidential campaign2,'
 'tThe effect of personalities in a Pre- idential campaign Is not only to in- ject bitterness but to obscure the is- sues In my opinion, personaItiies have no place in such contests It is of course, important to discuss the public record of candidates in order to test the soundness. of their posi- tion and judge their capacity to do what they propose doing, but that is a. very different matter from indulgine iu To excite mere pre5u- dice against the individuals you are opposing is to show your own weak ness.''
 DO the people still look for dignity in high office?"
 seI think the people do look for dig nifty in high office and are deeply and disappointed when they do not find it.''

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
 QUALITIES AS TYPIsT

J., Oct. 22-Gov- VII son has qualified an accomplislle1 typewriter as well as an expert steu- ographer and he was able to go Co Trenton today to attend to State buHl- ness with a mass of accumulated bus mess here all cleaned up. The Cow ernor had dictated to his stenORraph- e. nearly all day yesterday He then dismissed the young stenographer who had to go to Trenton to write out hiB notes. He had several hours on hlg hands and after reading his letterE he would jot down the answers in short hand and then turn to his old type writer and transcribe his own notes and address the envelopes, sign the let stamps.
 Governor Wilson uses a, tZpewriter with an old style keyboard which no modern typist understands.
 ''The keyboard on the modern type writer" he said, must have been in- vented by left handed man. All the letters that you use the most are on the wrong side"

New York, Oct 22-Sensations fol- lowed each other rapidly in the trial of Police Lieut.. Charles Becker, accus- cd of the murder of Herman Rosen- thai, gambler, today Just before noon, Attorney John F. Mcintyre sud denly electrified the court by rising in his place and saying:
 '-The defendant rests-''
 Justice Golf seemed amazed as did the district attorney, the latter, how ever, being plainly much disappo1nt- ed because he had expected Becker to take the stand in his own behalf ana had made the most elaborate prepara- Tfonss for his cross examination. Jus fioe Golf was plainly more concerned about another phase of the case.

 As he continued with his dennonstra- tions of the practical side of railroad ing, Coroner Phelan evinced such a lively interest that he himself grapsed a pick and attacked one of the ties which the witness had indicated as practically rotten. The tie gave way beneath the blows and the decayed fragments were turned over to the keeping of the deputy sheriff.
 Everett maintained that under his regime the track conditions were diff ferent. He said he hadn't the least bit of wonder that accidents should happen under present conditions. Coroner Phelan questioned Everett las to the efficiency of the various kinds of ties, also as to the merits of the two systems, one of spik1ng, the oth- CT of boIting the rails to the ties. Everett's familiarity and readiness in all phases of this sort of work made him a most interesting witness.
 The inquest was conducted for the most part in the open, the coroner, with the stenographer always at his side, walking about the tracks, sur- rounded by the railroad men and oth- CTS in interest.

Special to The Farmer.)

 Westport, Oct. 22-George E. Everett, the discharged track foreman, for 30 years until very recently in charge of the section where the Westport wreck occurred, greeted Coroner Phelan's ar rival for the resumption of his inquest today with story that his activity in the inquest, and his sensational testi- nnony, have led railroadrnen to take active steps against him. Rotten rail- road ties crumbled today beneath the hands of both the coroner and Ever cit.
 Everett told the coroner that while Norwalk 60 Wlestport to look over the condition of the roadbed. he encoun- section adjoining to the west that section of the readhed where the wreck of Got 3 took place, and that Smith had made show of violence towards him. He frankly told the cor onar that he had wa1k~d the tracks for the purpose of examination. of condi- tions of the roadbed. When he met Smith he said the latter was sitting on the bank beside the track reading a newspaper. As he approached. Smith, who has known him for some time, wards him seized him by the shoulder
 Get out of here,'' is what he says Smith told him. what do you want on the tracks here? You worked for
 
 traitor Then, he says, Smith gave him a shove to send him on the way.
 Everett said he felt he had a right to be on the tracks and went along further until reaching the section in cluding the scene of the catastrophe, he encountered the present foreman, Bartley Gordon, who engaged him in I conversation.
 Everett says Gordon told him that as result of Everett's testimony last Saturday orders had been issued by the roadmaster, George A DeMore, to keep Everett off the tracks, and to have him arrested if he insisted on trespassing.
 A group of railroad officials, includ- ing DeMore, heard Everett's story. The coroner expressed regret that such an incident should mar the proceedings, and DeMore denied that he had given any such order as Everett said Gordon Eclained to have received. In the dis cusgion that followed, the railroad men and the coroner took up the ad- visibility of questioning Smith as to the incident and this course may be followed before night.
 Sensational as was the testimony of Everett before the coroner on Satur- day, when he told of the rotten ties and defective roadbed, it proved even more thrilling today.
 TO substantiate his claim that rot ten ties were in large part responsible for the giving of the tracks and the derailment of the i'll fated train, he pulled from the ties. with his bare hands, spikes that were driven into
