traps SINCERITY
Of GOV. WILSON
Borden D. Whiting Attacks
Candidate on State and Ma
tionaI Issues.

METUCHEN, Oct. 18.-Making his
only campaign speech in New Jersey,
Borden D. Whiting, of East Orange,
spoke at a big Progressive rally in
the Metuchen High School auditorium
last night.
Charles A.. Bloomfield introduced
Mr.. Whiting as the man whom New
Jersey had chosen for member of the
National Committee of the Repub-
lican party after turning down for
mer Governor Murphy, but that Mr..
whiting had for the good of hui
manity quit this berth to join the
Progressive party. Mr.. Whiting said
my experience in the Republican Ma
tional Committee vas certainly very
brief, for I literally walked right in
and turned around and walked right
out again."
He said: According to the news
papers you Progressives down here in
the Third district have been having a
little trouble over the selection of a
congressional candidate. The trouble
is that you had two real Progress
sives, both willing and anxious to
serve you. and that is a very healthy
sign"
Mr.. Whiting paid his respects to
Governor Wilson. He said in part:
81 take it hat in these days of
fundamental and epoch-making
change the acid test t o apply to a
party leader is hal of sincerity. If
there is fair reason to question his po-
litical integrity we cannot in this Sc
rious crisis in our history accept and
follow his leadership. And | protest
at the very outset, and with no eff
fort to mince my words. that there
is some justification for inquirpg into
the sincerity of the Wilson campaign.
The Democratic party has three ir-
reconcilable ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
atism, ~personified in Harmon of Ohio;
characterization, personified in Bryan
of Nebraska, and ul~tra-bossism, per-
sonifed in Murphy, Taggert and Sui
Ivan. Under nj conception of sim
certify can an honest campaign be
waged this year by a union of those
three elements.
"In the second place. notwithstand-
ing Governor Wilson'S estimable pri-
ate life, his scholarship and intel
lectuality, we have fair reason to in
uuire into the political integrity of
the Democratic candidate himself.

ETY. and for her charitable work, was

virgins says, the police could have
captured Pash.
THAT is not the first time that the
City Hospital has delayed sending
us information we need,p said Wrig-
gins today. Both the hospital and
DR.. Lowrey were most negligent. Had
we been informed of the attack when
DR.. Lowrey was summoned to attend
Forgosh we might have arrested his
assailant Immediately. Physicians
should learn to make immediate re-
ports to the police of cases where
violence has been used.
Hospital CuIpabIe, says Captain.
"There is less excuse for the hos
pital. 1t is a public institution,
where cases in which the police are
interested are brought in every day,
and the authorities should know just
what to do in any and under all con-
ditions."
superintendent Talbot, of the City
Hospital, denied today that the in
stitution was in any way to blame.
I'VE did our part" he said. For
one thing, the nan did not die until
5 o'clock, and at $3.50 we notified the
county physicians office. 1t may be
that the county physician was not IN
his office when we sent the message,
and that word was not brought to
the police Immediately for that rea-
son. We are only too willing to CO.

party believed in equal suffrage, she
bers of the party and help the Pro-
gressive cause.
At the conclusion of Miss Rich
ards's remarks Colonel James w.
Howard made a motion that the
newly elected officers appoint a nomi-
mating committee to name fifteen
members to act as a board of trus-
tees, six of which should be women.
The motion was carried. The COM
mittee will be announced at the next
meeting.
The speaker of the evening was
Harold Bouton, of Jersey City, who
is the Progressive candidate from the
Eighth Congressional District. Mr..
Bouton, who is also the president of
the Peoples Institute, in Jersey City,
confined his remarks to the ucces
of the Progressive party since it's or
%ganization and its advantages to the
working man. Mr.. Bouton also al
luded to the tide of unrest, that he
said, had spread over the country; of
the difficulties between capital and
labor, and wound up by saying that
It remained for the new and pro-
gressive party to right the conditions
that now existed. .s
The speaker said he hoped to see
laws simplifed and all court cases
tried in shorter time, thus giving
employer and employee a chance to
right their wrongs in a seasonable
time. In conclusion he praised Col
onel Roosevelt and Governor john
son.
Before the meeting closed a tele-
gram was sent to Colonel Roosevelt
wishing him a speedy recovery.
