al Leader of Party.
 Woodrow Wilson, Democratic Goy- ernor of New Jersey, and nominee of the Democratic party for President of the United States, was formally notified of his nomination at his sum- mer home at Sea Girt this week. the lawn in front of the Little White House and by the expressed wish of Governor Wilson there was an entire absence of the blue coated policeman.
 In his speech of acceptance Gov ernor Wilson spoke in part as fol lows:
 Need Common Counsel.
 we have got into trouble in recent years chiefly because large national questions which ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a number of persons as possible, because they touch every interest and the life of every class and region. have in fact been too often handled in private conference. They have been settled by very small, and often deliberately exclusive groups of men who undertook to speak for the whole nation, or, rather, for themselves in the terms of the whole nation-very honestly it may be, but very ignorant ly sometimes, and very short-sightedly too, poor substitute for genuine com mon counsel No group, of directors, economic, or political can speak for a people. They have neither the point of view nor the knowledge. Our diffi- culty is not that wicked and designing men have plotted against us, but that OUT common affairs have been deternI- ined upon too narrow view, and by too private or initiative. Our task now is to effect a great re-adjustment And get the forces of the whole people once more into play. We need no revolution; we need no excited change; we need only a new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel.
 The Tariff.
 '"The tariff question, as dealt with in our time at any rate, has not been business. It has been politics. Tariff schedules have been made up for the purpose of keeping as large a member as possible of the rich and influential manufacturers Of the country in a good humor with the republican party which desired their constant financial support. The tariff has become system of favorS, which the phraseology of the sched- ule was often deliberately contrived to conceal. Who, when you come down to the hard facts of the matter have been represented in recent years when our tariff schedules were being dis cussed and determined, not on the floor of congress, for that is not where they have been determined, but in the committee rooms and con ferences? That is the heart of the whole affair. Will you, can you, bring the whole people into the partnership or not?
 We do not ignore the fact that the business of a country like ours is eX- ceedingly sensitive to changes in leg islation of this kind. It has been built up, however ill advisedly, upon tariff schedules written in the way I have indicated, and it's foundations must not be too radically or too suddenly disturbed. When we act we should act with caution and prudence, like men who know what they are about, and not like those in love with the ory. It is obvious that the changes we make should be made only at such a rate and in such a way as will least interfere with the normal and healthful course of commerce and manufacture. But we shall not on that account act with timidity, as if we did not know our own minds for we are certain of our ground and of our object There should be an inn mediate revision, and it should be downward unhesitatingly and steadily downward.
 Conservation.
 The nation as a nation has grown immensely rich. She is justly proud of heli industries and of the genius of her men of affairs. They can master anything they set their minds to and we have been greatly stimulated un- der their leadership and command. Their laurels are many and very green We must accord them the great honors that are their due and we must preserve what they have built up for us. But what of the other side of the picture? It is not as easy for us to live as it used to be- Our money will not buy as much. High wages, even when we can get them yield us no great comfort. We used to be better off with less. because dollar could buy so much more. The majority of us have been disturbed to find ourselves growing poorer, even though our earnings were slowly increasing. Prices climb faster than we can push our earning S up. We know that they are not fixed by the competition of the mar ket, or by the ancient law of supply and demand which is to be found stated in all the primers of economics,
