 o'clock in an automobile for Mineola.
 As Roosevelt stepped to the stage under the tent in $Nineola the crowd |of 1,200 set up ae7ofd Cheer. Those back of the platform a frail affair, raised two feet from the turf, climb ed on it to get a glimpse of him. The weight was too great for the flimsy supporters and while the ex-president stood at the front edge of the plat form lowing in acknowledgment of the cheers the stage gave way with a snap.
 When the crash came Roosevelt was thrown backwards and clutched the back of a, chair with his right hand saving himself from falling.
 Roosevelt scrambled back up the incline to the railing and with, a broad smile, raised his hand.
 He didn't wait any time to get into his speech While it had been expect ed that he would talk only half an hour he got warmed up and spoke for an hour and 25 minutes. He talked on the national issues, laying parti- cular stress upon his judicial recall theory. The Colonel rode back to Sagamore Hill from Mineola in his automobile and after dinner went down into the village to the opera house. Red fire lit up the road and bands played as he drove up to the theater door where he delivered an other speech.

There was DO doubt of the temper of the audi i ences. They made it clear that they felt that the fight was won and tomof- row would tell the story ef the elec- tion of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. The governor himself said that he felt the victory for the entire Democratic party was assured.
 Governor Wilson came to Pasaic l primarily in the interest of Robert G. Brepner, Democratic candidate for congress, and to speak as we'll for William Hughes who DOW holds the seat in Congress that MT. Bremner aspres to fill. Mr. Hughes is the candidate for United States Senator from New Jersey.
 Governor Wilson did not, however, confine himself to the local ticket. He made some splendid arguments for thu election of the national ticket and an appeal that the United States Senate as well as the House of Representa- tives shall be made Democratic to up- hold his hand as president.
