WILSON IS STRCkG
WILL GET MANY DELEGATES
FROM NEW ENGLAND.
Eugene 4. Reed, New Hampshire
Democrat, Thinks That Wilson
Could Carry That State.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson will have
tie support Of the large majority OF
ithe delegates from the New England
States to the Democratic national
convention for the nomination for
the pres Notwithstanding the
candidacy Oh .ov. ross Of Massachu-
setts, is the opinio nof ugene A.
Reed, members Of the Democratic ma
tional committee from New Hamp-
shire.
while, in my opinion, the dele
gates to the Democratic rational
convention from New Hampshire will
not be instructed for any candidate" "
said Mr.. Reed, VINO halls from Man
chester, n. H., "they will be found,
first, last and all the time for the
nomination of Gov. woodrow Will
sen Of New Jersey. / believe that
over so per cent Of the Democrats in
my State at the present time are
earnestly in favor of Gov. Wilson'S
nomination. OF course, l realize
that Gov. Foss Of Massachusetts has
scme strength in tie New England
States, particularly in his own, yet
do not believe ttat he will be the
choice for president Of this section
o! the country Gov. Wilson is the
man Of the hour. II the Democrats
unite on his candidacy, there is not
tie least doubt in my mind that he
will be elected president. I believe,
also, that we will have more than a
fighting chance 20 carry New Hamp-
shire at the next election.
"The people Of New Hampshire
have grown tired Of being ruled as
they have been r11ed and with an
iron hand, too, by the railroad in
tcrests. represented by the Republi-
can party. If the Democratic party
would only give Us 4 little assistance
ii'stead of leaving us to our own re-
sources, New Hampshire, in my opin-
ion, would be found in the Demo
cratic column. Governor Wilson
should come up to our state and get
acquainted with cur people. I will
e, arantee him a handshake with
o:er 100000 people il he will come
to Manchester some time during the
meeting Of the constitutional con-
vention in New Hampshire early next
spring. Oar voters have long ad-
n:ired him for his courage, his inde-
pendence aad his sound ideas on all
public questions. They are not afraid
to intrust the affairs of the nation
to him. They know him to be hon
est and fearless, and feel confident
that he will be selected as the stand
ard bearer Of our party by the next
Democratic national convention.
"For three times I have been a
Supporter of William Jennings Bryan
for the presidency. / have known
him intimately for many years. When
he says he is not going to be a can
didate again, take him at rs word.
That he will bolt the Democratic
convention if a man to his liking is
not nominated is the last thing that
he contemplates doing. With Wood
row Wilson in the saddle, I am con-
fdent that Mr.. Pryan will take Off
his coat and work for the New Jer-
sey governor just as hard and as sin
c>rely as he did for his own election
or the three occasions he was the
party's candidate for president.
Woodrow Wilson represents every
thing that a gooa Democrat should
represent. New Hampshire is for
him. body and soul. and look for
lis nomination on the first ballot as
the choice Of his party for resident y
