In his campaign for governor of New

were borne ont by the logic of events.
In 1912 he was both wise and right in
choosing to fight the peoples battle

FOR CONGR ESS.

for representative in congress. Judge
Long is an excellent candidate. He
has a we'll earned reputation for serv
ing the people well rs II legislator He
Is leader that leads Alright He
stands for the people against monopoly
and therefore believes in compelling
competition between corporations. and
not in legalizing the CREST aggregations

equal rights for all before the law. To
this end he favors an immediate down
ward revision of the tariff not a
radical, disturbing program. but a
determined course of restoring normal
conditions in all lines of industrial
activity. In n word. he would cut out
special privileges,
Elect Judge Long. He is we'll fitted

turns, to tell that most remarkable
and effective campaign has been waged
in behalf of Wilson and Marsha, l.
From the beginning it was forciblt

movement in favor of the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson lay in its sponta

1t was home made. In many parts of
the country Democrats, few or many
gathered together in his interests; bat
they together of their own accord, and
without instigation from outside par

A PLEASING CONTRAST.

The manner in which the campaign
for the election Of Governor Wilson is
carried on presents "A pleasing contrast
with the ways and methods pursued by
the adherents Of President Taft and Of
Former President Roosevelt
Gov. Wilson bears himself admira-
bly, In plain speech, to use his own
words, he states very simply and
directly why he is seeking to be Prcsi
dent Of the United States. He abuses
no one He puts at the front the ques
ton Of the tariff and the question Of
the trusts, and shows that the govern
ment il not free because it grants
special favors TO particular classes by
means of the tariff. He has faith in
the people, and appeals to them to
make their government free that it may
be strong.
How different is the campaign that
is being carried on for the re election
of President Taft An address issued
by the Republican committee is before
us. In this address, the Democratic
candidate for President is repeatedly
and designedly alluded to as Professor
Wilson, and the more than foolish as
sertion made that ito vote for Professor
Wilson and the Democratic party is to
risk bringing back the panic and the
hard times of 1893 under the Wilson
tariff law" This address is only n
sample of the literature that is being
sent out in Taft's behalf. II shows that
the Republican party has become the
reactionary party and must be over
thrown.
The independent voter, and his tribe
has greatly increased, - knows that
there IL an irrepressibe conflict going
on between the forces which make for
progress and the forces Of retrogres
sion. Party ties are no longer ties that
bind There are men who want to be
shown. There are thousands of indie
pendent Republicans who will not fol.
low nor be led by their party managers
this year. They Zee in the course which
the Democracy Of the nation il pursu
ing the hope of brighter and better
era in politics and in the admnistra-
ton of the affairs of government They
know that If the government IL to be
strong 1t must be free from those who
would use 1t to bestow special privel-
eyes upon the few to the hurt of the
many. People realize that NJ condi'
tons in tho various activities of life are
continually changing, 80 must there be
wiser and wider application of the
principles of government to meet the
changed and changing conditions, that
the rightn of the whole people may be
conserved.
Truly, there is turning away from
the political abuses of the past and the
present; and, with our candidate for
President, we thank God and will take
