the Harvey-Wilson break-involved a
betrayal of confidence.
That one big fact standing out Of
all the muck is that Governor Wilson
would not accept the money of Thomas
F. Ryan.
Moreover, there is possibility that
because of the source. the bitterness
coupled with Governor Wilson's silent
endurance of them. they may cause
revulsion of public sympathy in his
favor. 1t is also possible that his foes
shot their big guns too soon. Their
ammunition is now gone, and the con-
yention is still months away.
Clearing the ground of nonessentials
and trivialities. the really big things
remain as before. The foremost fact
regarding the Wilson candidacy is that
he is the most progressive of the Dem
ocratic candidates. This being so. he
could probably poll the largest progress
sive Republican vote. Here is the one
essential factor that in the end will
probably outweigh all the minor con-
siderations. None of these affairs over
which such tumult has been created
is supremely important in itself.
What if Governor Wilson did say five
years ago that Colonel Bryan should be
knocked into cooked hat? Bryan
apparently does not resent it. Why
should any one else?
What if he did tell Colonel George
Harvey that the advocacy of Harper's
Weekly was hurting his candidacy?
Harvey asked him. didn't he? And
Wilson told him the truth.

dangerously near or they would not try

Level headed people are not too much

calmly analyses them there is not so
much to them after all. But the fact
that the New Jersey governor is the

considered. Compared to these other

 This country belongs to the people who inhabit 1t, It is time to set the public welfare in the first place"

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR GIVES
 FORMAL ACCEPTANCE.
6OO0 PEOPLE ATTEND
Eight Democratic Governors With the Committee-Hear the Presidential
 Candidates Outline of His "Faith."

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 7-Slowly and with measured emphasis, Governor Woodrow Wilson today unfolded the fabric of his political beliefs in a speech formally accepting the demo- cratic nomination to the presidency.
 Establishing first what he termed his faith" he invoked the rule of right and of justice" to politics, pro ceeding in succession to show its ap- plication to the tariff, the antitrust question, the restoration of the mer chant marine, the development of wa terways, the conservation of natural resources, banking reforms and other issues of the day.
 Committee Represented Every State.
 It was a motley throng that gather ed at the summer capitol of New Jer- sey. Officially there was notifca- ton committee of 52. representing every state and territory in the Union and' with them came eight of the democratic governors.
 Senator elect Ollie James of Ken lucky officially informed Governor Wilson of the action of the Baltimore convention, in a speech frequently in terrupted by outbursts of applause On the left of Mir James was Cover nor Marshall, the presidential nominee, and on his right, Governor Wilson, Governor Dix of New York, Foss of Massachusetts, Baldwin of Connecticut, Donaghey of Arkansas, Plaisted of Maine. O'Neal of Alabama and Mann of Virginia sat near.
 Heard With Solemn Attention.
 With solemn attention the crowd listened to Governor Wilson's speech of acceptance. Though frequently a satirical remark brought laughter, Governor Wilson's exposition of his political doctrines was received with marked solemnity.
 The governor was plainly at ease at the beginning of his speech. He would have liked to discard the printed man. uscript from which he read, and-speak, as has been his won't, extemporane ously.
 This might be more interesting said the governor, digresslng for a mo- ment, If I didn't have to read it" An Epigram or Two.

 After the speech the crowd pressed | forward to meet the governor Alto gether he shook hands with more thar 5000 people, who filed by in steady line for more than an hour.
