Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-05-18

! The voters of New Jersey now asked
to express their belief that Governor
Wilson be changed into President Wilson
of the United Stntes will not vote at the
primaries without some thought as to
Professor Wilson'S neglect of duty In
office, his faithlessness to the people
that elected him Governor, and his lack
OF honesty In regard to-, the taking of
salary unearned.
| If any voter In New Jersey had clerk
absenting himself from his work as Pro
fessor Wilson Is absent from his work,
and If he found that such an absentee,
idle and dishonest clerk was nevertheless
getting full pay for the days on which
| he did not work WHAT WOULD THE
VOTER DO WITH SUCH A CLERK?
| He would kick him out of his office to
start with. And he would certainly not
! think of indorsing such man as Presi-
dent.
How many voters of New Jersey knowing
that Professor Wilson has constantly been
absent from his Office, knowing that he
has had sufficient influence and power to
get for himself the salary checks that the
law denies him, knowing that he has been
taking the peoples money while going
over the country seeking another office
and another salary--how many of the
voters of the State are going to express
their opinion that such a man ought to
be President?
You Judge a man BY WHAT HE DOES.
Only facts count.
II you judge Professor Wilson by what
he has done as Governor you are not
very apt to choose him as your candidate
for President of the United States
As Governor he has neglected the State;
he has shown absolute ignorance Of the
States needs and Indifference to State
problems. He has constantly been away
seeking to better his own condition, in
different to the condition of the State.
He has made a fool of the law which
says that the Governor shall not have his
salary when absent. He has taken his
salary from the men that should have
had 1t. he has been able to laugh at the
voters and the taxpayers getting their
money without working for it.
The question is, shall he now laugh at
the State of New Jersey and be able to
say to the bosses in his employ, to the
corporations that waht him, from the
Harvester Trust, UP and down
Don't worry about the little State of
New Jersey. Anything is good enough for
that State Anything is good enough for
the New Jersey voters. I haven't seen
much of them. haven't had much time
to bother with them. But you needn't
worry about them. ! can deliver them at
any time. New Jersey is all right,
don't even have to stay there to work.
Whether | am there or not | get the
money. I'll take care of New Jersey
That is how Professor Wilson thinks, at
least, as he wanders through the country
trying to collect elsewhere the delegates
that he needs.
viii the voters of New Jersey indorse
Professor Wilson'S opinion of New Jer-
sey? VIII they indorse his action In CIV
ing judgeship to Congressman Hughes,
allowing that gentleman to draw at the
same time the salary of a Congressman
and the salary of Judge and incident
ally TO BE ONE OF PROFESSOR WILL
SONS REPRESENTATIVES, AS A
DELEGATE AT BALTIMORE?
Or will the voters of New Jersey tell
Professor Wilson that when they hire a
man to work, whether 1t be to shovel
snow off their sidewalk or to work as
Governor of the State. THEY MEAN
THAT HE SHALL WORK?
The voter of New Jersey who shall vote
at the primaries to make Professor VIII
son President of the United States will
throw away his vote, in the first place
because Professor Wilson WON'T BE
President.
And the New Jersey voter who shall
cast his vote for Professor Wilson at the
primaries will vote TO make himself and
his State ridiculous Everybody through
the country has been seeing Professor
Wilson-except the inhabitants of NEW
JERSEY.
How many honest men in New Jersey
are going to cast their votes at the
primaries indorsing for the Presidency a
man sufficiently dishonest to cheat his
State by constant absences from the
State, and additionally dishonest in ae-
cepting and keeping for himself the
money, the salary THAT THE LAW
! SAYS HE SHALL NOT HAVE?
