dudley Field Malone. assistant corpo-

O'Gorman, yesterday discussed Gov
ernor Wilson's availability as a candt.
date and his strength in New York
State.
Gorernor woodrow Wilson," said MIR.
Malone. is the most available and the
strongest OF all the candidates for the
Democratic nomination. He not only
can poll the full strength OF the Dem
ocratic vote. but he Is the only Dem
ocrutic candidate who can sweep the
Middle Western and Western Republic
can states into the Democratic column
lie has absolute assurance Of the sup
port OF the New England States the
recent Watterson controversy has made
woodrow Wilson stronger than he has
ever been heretofore, because the whole
episode merely proved that even a per-
honai friend could not control him or
his candidacy by money from question
able sources. New York has known
Governor Wilson for years, and he n;
now the Governor of our ncighboring
State OF New Jersey. where he has
made such wonderful record of con-
structive craftsmanship. The control
ling factor In New York State is the
independent vote. which Governor vii.
VII alone can at
:ract. Because of the fact that the
Did Guard In the Republican party in
Hew York is IL full control of the Re-
publican machinery, man like Wood
row Wilson would attract the full in
dependent and Democratic vote.
"AH elements of the party seem 10
stand in substantial support Of Wood
row Wilson, because not only Is Mr..
bryan favorable TO his candidacy, but
those three brilliant members of Gro
rer Cleveland's Cabinet-Hokc Smith.
II Georgia.: Don Dickinson, Of 'Michi-
gan. and Richard olney. OF Massachu
tetts-have publicly pledged THAR sup
port to the Wilson cause. This Is
great augury OF Democratic harmony
and success. New York State will be
found in the very from, rank of Gov
crnor Wilson's support, and we look

Presidents, and tho State II which
Woodrow Wilson was born. 10 take no.
only valiant part. but the leadership,
