DINNER SPEAKERS
ASSA|L GOVERNOR

fAhh, May zA.-GoVernor
Wilson was numerically fayed by
speakers at the banquet of the Champ
Clark Club of this city at the Hotel
Plaza last night.
George w. Young, of Deal, candidate
for uninstructed delegate-at-large from
the Third Congressional District, the first
speaker, said:
81 recently made up my mind that Coy
ernor Wilson is not a good Democrat.
that he is not the kind hat has the
interests of the party at heart. When
| made this announcement was attacked
by those who said that Senator Smith
was paying my way. This is untrue.
From the time when l went to work in
Colgate's soap factory at So u week l
have always been able to pay my own
way.
strength is owing to Champ Clark. He
is a man who keeps his pledges. He is
clear-headed and warm-hearted, as 1t is
necessary for a man to oe to win the
confidence of all the people Of the United
States. ABOVE all he Is grateful"
That's more than Woodrow Wilson
ever was,'' interrupted a voice from one
of the side tables.
"My friend" said Mr.. Young in re
proof, at Is unnecessary for us to decry
any Democrat, no matter what sort of a
Democrat he may be. in order to elect
Champ Clark. That Is the sort OF busi-
ness we must leave to the Republican
party, and it is a pitlable spectacle, in
deed, to see two great Republicans In
dulging in a country wide campaign of
m~ud-slinging. No candidate in the Dem
ocratic field can or wOuld say anything
against Mr.. Underhill, Mr.. Marshall or
Mr.. Harmon.
LAS a 6elegate-at-large I am going o,
Baltimore uninstructed. l do not intend
TO go to a convention tagged for a dead
one.' l want to represent the State. to
do as the people think l ought to do, not
as someone else tells me to do"
samuel Schleimer, of New Brunswick,
had this to say:
Can't Stand for Wilson.
when a man fools me once 1t is his
fault; when he fools me the second time
1t Is my own fault. That is why / can
not stand a man who has one kind of
talk for New Jersey, another kind for
Georgia and still another kind for Cali
fornia.
Speaking In Georgia recently Governor
Wilson said: You must remember | am
not a New Jerseyite, but q Southerner,'
"A classmate of Governor Wilson told
me when he was first being DOOMED for
Governor not to place too much Deepen
dence on him.
''Since then l have frequently con
sldered the perfect truth of the adnge as
the twig is bent so is the tree inclined
Governor Wilson has not the slightest
chance of occupying the Presidential
chair. If such a thing should ever hap
pen, however, don't fear but that his
cabinet will be composed of men from
China and Japan"
Speaking of Governor Wilson o. C.
B%ogardus. of Matawan, said:
"A man has a perfect right to break
his word, he has a perfect right to tell
untruths, he. has a perfect right to lie."
But" objected one Of the diners,
what kind of a Governor does a man
like that maker"
Mr.. Bogardus told Of serving on the
State Board of Assessors last summer.
He requested Governor Wilson, he said,
to be relieved from his duties so he
might go abroad with his wife. The
Governor put him off time and time
again, he declared. until 1t was too late
to sail, then adjusted matters SO he
might leave.
The opening address of Charles A.
Cook. of Asbury Park, who was toast
master, was short.
The people do not want to vote for n
king" he said. They want to send
uninstructed delegates to the conven-
ton. feeling they will act according to
the needs of the State"
Other speakers were John Matthews,
of Newark; Judge Simon Hahn, of New
ak, and Thomas p. Fay. of Long
Branch.
