SEA GIRT, Sept. 23.-At 1885 o'clock

hauling down the official flag that
flew from the top of the iagpole on
the lawn between brass
Mr.. Malone donned his raincoat and
ran out into the yard, the men flee

The flag is the property of the State,

SILENCE CAUSES WORRY

PITMAN, Sept. 23.-Silence of the
Progressives in the primary campaign
in Gloucester county has caused not a
little uneasiness among the stand
pat Republican leaders, who are fear
full Of what the silence may portend.
Calculations of the machine men in
the party have been altogether upset
by this uncertain quantity of the Bull
Moose vote, and 1t is expected to play
an important part in the choice of
candidates for some of the county
offices at Tuesdays primary election.
Unlike the new party followers in
some of the other counties, the Glou-
cester county Bull Moosers have not
as yet placed any candidates in the
field. They are laying low and await
ing the outcome of the primaries,
their leaders explain, before launch
ing out into the campaign.

N. Y. CONVENTION
TO Be 'UND0SSED?'
Delegates to G. O. P. Meeting
Declare Bull Moose Party
Is Losing Strength.

SARATOGA. N. Y, Sept. 23.-The
air is full of booms as the delegates
to the Republican state convention
drift into this place. The nomina-
ton of a candidate for Governor,
however, Is overshadowed by the
question of the adoption of a plat
form.
William Barnes, jr., arrived yester-
day and established himself at cot
tage rs, Of the United States Hotel,
where he received visits from the
leaders.
He exressed himself as ~favoring an
Embossed convention, saying:
"The delegates will u this con-
vention. There is no man who could
control 1t If he wanted to-
Barnes's friends. however, believe
that he will not stick too closely to
the text of this declaration if too
many progressive planks are insert
ed in the platform. 1t Is understood
that William M. WINS, who came
here last night, will make the tenta-
tive draft of the platform.
Delegates arriving from all parts
of the State say that the Bull Moose
movement is losing strength. This,
they say. gives them not so much
encouragement as the fact that
Charles F. Murphy is in charge at
Syracuse and is advocating the re-
nomination of Governor Dix.

7. R. WILL INVADE
SOUTHERN STATES
CoIonel's Day of Rest Is Very
Busy-Starts Missouri
Campaign.

PITTSBURGH. Kan, Sept. 23.-
day. Colonel Roosevelt took up the
campaign again today. making his
first speech in Pittsburgh. He ar
rived here early today after a nights
run from Euporia, to remain for three
days.
A large crowd gathered in the pub
lie square to hear Colonel Roosevelt
speak. Men climbed trees and tele-
phone poles and a crowd of boys
swarmed on top of a threshing ma
chine. In the crush one woman
tainted.
Colonel Roosevelt defended the re-
call of judicial decisions. He also re-
ferred to his tilt last spring with
Congressman Campbell, OF Kansas.
after the congressman expressed the
opinion hat the colonel was appeal
ing to the bleachers."
ITO invert language that has been
given some fame in YOU own dis
trict," said Colonel Roosevelt, I'VE
intended hat the people shall not
merely sit IN the b~leachers and look
at the game; we intend Athat the
people shall run the game. We be-
lieve it should not be a game be-
tween two gangs of professionals, but
the people should say who shall
play"
A brief stop at Arcadia was ar
ranged and the rest of the day will
be spent in Missouri, with speeches
at Liberal, Lamar, Ashgrove, SPRING
field. Aurora, Monet and Joplin.
Colonel Roosevelt's transcontinental
tour is nearing Its close. From Mis-
souri, he will strike into the South,
speaking in Oklahoma, Arkansas.
Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina. Thence
he will go to New York, reaching
there October 2, and after a short
rest will leave on a weeks trip into
the Middle West.
The colonel said that he felt bully"
and was enjoying the trip. In spite
of the strain of the campaign his
throat is in better condition, his ply
sicians say, than when he left New
York.
The colonel's rest yesterday was
only comparative. In reality he was
quite busy. for even after attending
church in the morning he was forced
to give a stand-up reception to two
or three hundred persons who had
worshipped with him. The afternoon
wass spent writing letters and die
tating speeches to his stenographers
and into monographs. Four speeches
on labor and trust conditions were
prepared in this manner.

H|LLES ATTACKS
WILSON'S BELIEFS
Declares Governor BeIittle5
Lincoln and Is Not in Favor
of American Institutions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-charles D.
Hilles. chairman of the Republican
National Committee. has called at
tention apropos of the fftieth ami
versary of the emancipation procla-
nation. to a certain passage in Woods
row Wilson'S History of the Ameri+1
can People" which he considered TO-
be uncomplimentary to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln n an indica"
tioa of the Democratic candidates
lack of sympathy with a soedly part
of the country's citizenship.
1T was on September %, 1862" said
Mr.. Hflles. that President Lincoln
issued a proc amatioa giving formal
notice that unless the Southern states
returned to their allegiance to the
Union within 100 days he would de-
clare the slaves within their borders
free. and it was on January J. 1904,
following that a definite proclama-
ton of emancipation was issued.
"Cf this GROWING event Of the
career of the immortal Lincoln Wood
row Wilson says in his History or
the American People, written forty
years afterward;
1.-The proclamation, Wnth ,aiAp,
was no law. out only his Lineosn -
deliberate declaration of policy thr
himself and for his party; ana
changed, as he meant hat it should
change. the whole air of the struggle
and of politics as we'll
ut is safe to say that not even the
most radical unreconstructed South
ern man would attribute to Lincoln
motive. which 1t remained for the
historian Woodrow Wilson alone to
discover. thai Lincoln abolished slaV-
cry to further his own political ann
billions and those OF his poiiticai
party.

already at hand that Woodrow Will

WILSON TO ENTER
NEW YORK FIGHT
Believed He Will Come Out
Against the denomination
of Governor Dix.
IFrom a star Correspondent. ]

SEA GRIT, Sept. Ex-senator
O'Gorman, of New York, came here
from Bay Head today to consult with
Governor Wilson, presumably with
the intention of urging the Governor
to take a hand in the New York State
situation. He was too late, however,
for Wilson had left on the 1922 train
on his way to Scranton. Pa, where
he will speak tonight at the Demo-
cratic notification ceremonies.
William A. McAdoo. vice-chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, was also disappointed in his en-
deavor to see the Governor and get
him to come out publicly against the
denomination of Governor Dix.
The Governor has carefully re-
Trained from making any remarks
that would tend to show his inten-
ton regarding New York, but the fact
that O'Gorman and McAdoo, his two
chief associates in the Empire State,
have been asking him to step In and
help them in their efforts to thwart
the denomination of Governor Dix. 1T
is believed, will result in Wilson
taking up their n of the fight.
AS 1t is. the New York situation has
made such an impression on the Gov
ernor that he was unable to spend
yesterday as he has spent the pre-
ceding Sundays, far removed from all
thoughts of politics. He spent the
afternoon in his automobile with Dud-
ley Field Malone. Senator O'Gorman's
so~n-in-law. Whether the necessity of
the Governor intervening in New
York was pressed during this ride
could not be learned.
In the light of Governor Wilson'S
attitude regarding New York, a state
ment OF Senator O'Gorman yesterday
is regarded as particularly significant.
Senator O'Gorman, although not a
delegate, is going to the convention
to fight for Governor Wilson, he
said.
II believe that Democrats in their
wisdom will name a ticket at SYRIA
cuse which will appeal to and secure
the support of Governor Wilson and
all Progressive Democrats" he added.

STOKES TAKES FLING
AT STATE G. O. P. MEN

M~ILLvILLE.. Sept. 2S.-On his
usual weekend visit to his home III
this city former Governor Stokes was
discussing the political situation with
some of his friends when someone re-
called his reelection to the vice
Craftsmanship of the Republican
State Committee the other day, which
had been preceded by the announce
ment from some of the party mar
ayers that "Stokes Is all right now"
The former governor smiled over
the statement, and said, with a CLINT
of the eyes: well, I'm not asking for
a certificate of character, but l never
denied that l was all right But
they have been a long time finding 1t
out, haven't they? However, their
repentance is better late than never.

THE LEGISLATOR WHO SEES HIS DUTY.

MVO man of any common sense wants to see a repetition
AN of the experiences of 1893 and would lend a hand to
bring it about. Looking back to that period he could
have no vindctiveness against any member of Congress who
sought at that time to avert a disaster, especially to the indus.
trial interests of his own State. Nor can his judgment of that
member of Congress be influenced by the adverse criticism and
Muse of free trade newspapers in New York that have pursued
the national legislator who refused to sacrifice his States in.
hustrial interests to a destructive revenue bill. At the last SEES.
sion one New Jersey congressman refused to abide by his party
caucus action on the battleship question. He stood out for two
battleships. He wa faithful to the sentiment of his ION.
stituents. Is that a blot upon his record? His constituents will
renOminate him tomorrow.

CERTIFY TO
7. RS ELECTORS
Pennsylvania Fight May Go to
court-McAfee Finds for
Taft Followers.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-From
reports received from different Sec
tons of the State 1t is evident that
the action of the Taft and Sherman
Business Mems Committee in calling
upon Secretary of the Commonwealth
McAfee to refuse to certify any cam
didate for presidential electors on the
Republican ticket who shall not de-
clare for Taft, fell as a bomb in the
camp of the Finn BullsMoosers.
Secretary McAfee has not replied
to Chairman Howard b. French's
letter, but it is known hat he has
had legal advice directing him that
under the provisions of the Pennsyl-
vania statutes, which require that
the names of Taft and Sherman shall
be printed above the names of the
electors, he would not be warranted
in certifying to the county commits
sioners the names of any but Taft
supporters for electors on the Repub-
liean ticket. Ns
If the agreement between the Taft
managers and Finn and his asso-
ciates regarding the withdrawal of
the Roosevelt electors shall not be
carried out and Secretary McAfee
shall refuse to certify Bull Moose men
as Republican electors, the whole
matter will be thrown into the courts
and the regular Republicans hold
that they will then stand more than
an even chance to win out.
Senator James P. McNichol. chair
man of the committee of the Repub-
lican City Committee, which, with
State Chairman Wassen, has been
carrying on negotiations with Will
lam Finn and others, reiterated his
belief that Finn will play fair, not
outstanding what some of his asso-
ciates may advise.
The committee has not one upon
record even for the nominees of the
Republican national convention. Ac-
ton has been deferred because 1t
was not desired to indorse the Finn
men on the State ticket until there
shall be assurances that there is to
be "a square DEAL in the matter of
the presidential electors.

NO RECOGNITION OF CHINA,

NAV HY our government has refused to recognize the new
WY republic in China, while recognition has been given
by other nations, is one of the mysteries of Washing
ton craftsmanship that seems to find its explanation in "dollar
diplomacy the diplomacy that is conducted principally in the
interest of Wall Street. The China Society of America now
makes an earnest appeal to President Taft for prompt recogni.
ton. 1t asks that the protracted delay, coincident with the
negotiations of a 100000 900 loan, shall be ended. a delay, SAYS
the society's letter, that not only prevents the prosperity and
development of the country but that menaces its very life by
threatening the maintenance of the integrity of its territory
Congress passed a joint resolution by unanimous vote recon-
nending recognition. Mr.. Taft has thus far ignored the wishes
of Congress. Why?
