ALLUDES BRIEFLY
 TO THE NEW PARTY
But as Long as the Demo cratic Party Survives the Governor Really Sc e s Nothing for Other Pro gressives to Do

SEAGIRT. Aug. 17.-Governor Will son at the New Jersey day celebration welcomed the women of the nation into the field of politics. as he stood before hundreds of women who had gathered to organize woman's Will son and Marshall league of New Jer- sey The governor declared that the entry of women into politics would make the country's politics the same pattern with our life a thing de- voutly to be wished.
 The governor in his main speech at noon. aprOpos of the celebration, dis cussed the reform laws of the state but digressed once into reference to the third party which he elaborated in a statement issued tonight
 What the governor said in his speech was: "I suppose you know the force that is behind the new party that has recently been formed-the sO-called progressive party. It is a force of discomfort with the regular parties in the United States. It is d feeling that men have gone into blind alleys and hove come out often enough and they purpose to find an open road for themselves"
 Tn his statement explaining that reference the governor said tonight that independent forces had utterly failed to get control of the republican party but had absolutely proved their ascendancy and their entire control within the democratic party; that the people had found that they could make use of the democratic party as a pro- per medium for their purposes. This he said seemed to him the most ob- vious and most encouraging circum- stances in our politics.
 The particular significance in the governors speech was his warning tC the people that the same bosses, over thrown two years ago were planning to restore the "old order of things in New Jersey immediately upon his .eXile from office.
 If I could be of any service to you you have only to say the word anC II won't try to leave you. Yet l an not in the least anxious as to Wha will happen in New Jersey if I should leave you, and I have to leave VOL by the second Tuesday of January 1914; but I am never going to dis blieve again in the power of this grea commonwealth to take care of itsel and to insist upon the purity and in tegrity of the public spirit in the con duct of it's affairs"
 To the women the governor recon mended participation in politics be cause he said, they were in contac with the high cost of living and tn pocket book. "When the last word i said about politics., said Wilson, 'i is merely the life of all of us iron
 point of view of what can be accom- plished by legislation for the admin istration of public office I think | is artificial to divide life up int section It is all of one piece thoug you cannot attend tn all pieces a once.
 l And so. when women who are in s imany respects at heart life to beg1 l to take an interest in politics the
 you know that all lines of sympathy
 intelligence and comprehension ar going to be interlaced in a way i
 which they have never been interlace 1 before so that our politics will be O
 the same pattern with our lives. seems to me it is devoutly to b i wished"
