| five years of service as an educator
resigned the presidency of Prince
ton in 1910 to accept the nomination
for Governor Of New Jersey, there
was general tendency to look ask
ance at the schoolmaster in poll
tics" However, he was carried
into office on the radical anti-Re-
publican wave that swept so many
| States.
Wilson was elected by majority
Of $4,000 votes. He was the first
Democratic Governor in New Jersey
for sixteen years. This brought the
former college president PROMINENT
ly into national politics. His plat
form pledges his party to the eracl-
ment Of Workmen' compensation
act, reform of the election laws Of
the State which would make direct
nominations possible, corrupt
practices act and a public utilities
commission bill. All these meas
ures We're written into the statute
books Of New Jersey during the
first year of Governor Wilson's term
in spite of the fact that the lower
house of the State legislature was
Republican.
PEOPLE THE ONLY BOSS.
While his success in obtaining the
passage of these measures served to
bring him more prominently before
the nation it was his fight to obtain
the election Of James Z. Martin to
the United States senate to succeed
Senator John Kean, which caused
the most widespread attention upon
the New jersey governor. In his pre-
election speeches Governor Wilson
had given the pledge:
'The people of the state will be

A Striking Series OF Dates.

Anybody VINO is inclined to be po-
litically superstitions is invited to
consider this curious chain OF events
in the history Of the Republican
party and its ancestors:
Twenty years ago. 1892, was the
year of the great Populist bolt which
defeated Harrison and elected Cicve-
land.
Twenty years before that, 1872,
was the year Of the Liberal RepubE-
can bolt which failed to defeat
Grant but which cost the Republi-
cans the House Of Representatives in
1874 and led to the Tiden campaign
of 1876.
Twenty years before that, 1859,
was the year the Whig party went
down to its death. Il was the de-
struction of the Whig party that
brought about the organization OF
the Republican party.
Twenty years before that. 1882,
the National Republican party col
lapsed, and the Whig party was
built upon its ruins.
Twenty years before that, 1912,
the Federalist party made ifs last
formidable appearance IN a national
campaign.
1t is a striking series of dates: 1912

The keeneSt Struggle in FOrty.fOur
Years.

Not since 1868 has another demo-
cratic national convention required
more than five ballots to nominate a
candidate for president.
In 1903 Bryan was nominated on
the first ballot. In 1904 Parker was
nominated on the first ballot. In
1900 Bryan was nominated on the
first ballot. In 1896 Bryan was
nominated on the fifth ballot in the
most turbulent convention the dem
ocratic party had held since 1860.
In 1892 Cleveland was nominated
on the first ballot, and he was named
on the first ballot in 1888. In 1884,
when he was first a candidate for
president, the second ballot deter
mined the nomination In 1880
Hancock was named by the changes
that took place after the second bal
lot had been taken and before the
result was announced. In 1876 Ill
den was named on the second ballot,
and in 1872 Greeley, who had been
nominated by the liberal republl-
cans, was indorsed on the first bal
| lot.
In 1868 there were twenty-five
ballots taken before a nomination
was reached. On that ballot ONO
gave twenty-one votes to Horatlo
Seymour. Those were all the votes
cast for him, but before the result
could be announced the convention
had stampeded to Seymour and ne
was nominated.

democratic party has had IN forty

PRESIDENT OF PRINCETON.

Professor Wilson became the thir-
teenth of the roll of presidents at
Princeton in 1902 and the first lay
man to hold this office, all his prede-
cessors having been Presbyterian
clergymen. He is, however. a rul-
ing elder in the Second Presbyterian
church of Princeton. AS profss-
sor ne was very popular and his
elective classes were always among
the largest.
During his administration at
Princeton DR.. Wilson made two at
tempts to change materially the
character of American education.
In one project he not only failed but
alienated the support of a large
body of alumni. Of many Of the
trustees, and some of his co-workers
on the teaching staff. That project,
which did not succeed, was to es-
tablish the quad" system for un-
der-graduates. 1t was resented by
the alumni as an attack on the stu
dent clubs and the opposition be-
came so strong that the president
was asked by the board of trustees
TO withdraw his proposal.
The successful innovation was the
nreceptorial system. That called
for the appointment of fifty teach
ers or preceptors, to be added to
the faculty at an increased cost to
the University of 100000 a year.
But the alumni SO thoroughly ap-
nroved the plan that they told the
nros;dent to 90 ahead and assured
him that the money for the salaries
would be forthcoming.
The plan succeeded. This precep-
+orial system, by which each stu
dent GETS the benefit of personal
contact with a teacher, is referred
to bv the presidents admirers as
the hest thing he has done in the
field Of education.

GOV. WOODROW WILSON:
SKETCH OF HIS CAREER,
The Democratic Presidential Nominee.
Son OF an Eminent Presbyterian
Minister, and Was Born in the
State OF Virginia In 1856.

Trenton, N j., July Woodrow
Wilson, the Democratic party s nom
inee for President of the United
States, was born in 1856 in Virginia,
where he was baptized by Thomas
Woodrow Wilson. He dropped the
Thomas about the time that he COM
pleted his first book.
Mr.. Wilson cannot, ike many an
otficeseeker, appeal to the senti-
mentality of the public by an ac-
count of self-made mans rise from
poverty. His father and grand
father were educated men, promi-
nent in their communities, and,
while not rich, were able to give the
aspiring young scholar a liberal ed
ucation.
1t was not toward scholarship,
however, that his earliest ambitions
led him. While in college he re-
solved to become public man. To
that end he studied law and hung
out his shingle. But his legal prac-
tice was not lucrative, and after
eighteen months Of it he gave it up,
and with it. for years to come, his
desire for office.
BROUGHT TO GEORGIA A BABY.
His father. Rev. Joseph Ruggles
Wilson, moved to Georgia when
Woodrow was two years old, and
later preached in various churches
in North and South Carolina.
Young Wilson entered Davidson
College at the age of seventeen.
After two years he entered Prince
ton, from which be was graduated
in 1879. He then studied law at the
University OF Virginia, receiving
the degree Of Bachelor of Laws in
1882 He received the degree of
Bachelor Of Philosophy from Johns
Hopkins University in 1886; that Of
Doctor Of Laws from Wake Forest
University, North Carolina, in 1897,
and that Of Doctor of Literature
from Yale University at its bi-cen-
tennial celebration.
Professor Wilson occupied the DO
sition of adjunct professor of history
in Bryn Mawr College, and was af-
terwards professor of history and
political economy in Wesleyan
University. In 1890 he became pro-
fessor of jurisprudence and political
economy at Princeton. In 1895 the
title of his chair was changed to that
of professor of Jurisprudence, and
upon it's endowment he became Nc
Cormick professor Of jurisprudence
and politics.
Professor Wilson also for several
years gave a course of lectures in
Johns Hopkins University. He
gained fame also as lecturer and
writer. His work entitled "The
State" and his Life Of George
Washington" are among his best
known writings.

area of the state that supplies sOud
grazing during the entire year.
Over the greater portion of the
state the farmers should plan to
harvest sufHcient feed to carry their
live stock through December. january
and February. If this is not done, cat
tie become emaciated during the win
ter season. When animals become so
emaeiated that they can hardly get up
after lying down, they are In such a
condition that It takes about as many
months to recuperate as Ii did to get
run down. The best part Of the sum
mer season is PAST before the animals
really get into good thriving. condition
In fact they have hardly recovered
from their experiences of the past VIM
ter when they again encounter the
same difficulties. With such treatment
is 1t any wonder we have a poor grade
of stock? This kind Of treatment is
bad enough for the older animals, but
for the younger stock 1t Is a wonder
that they keep alive through the first
winter.
Another drawback to the live stock
industry in Florida is the Texas fever
tick. There is hardly any other dis
ease that our live stock lie subject to
that will cause as much loss. 1t is
one OF the main factors in retarding
the Improvement of our cattle. Flor
ida is not alone In this trouble. e
most of our southern states have the
same difficulty to contend with. But
nearly all the southern states except
Florida have taken upa the subject OF
tick eradication.
The. results obtained in other states
should be enough to convince all of us
of the benefits to be derived from
freeing our state from fever ticks, and
when we ct length have made up our
minds to begin work Of tick eradica-
tion in Florida, every farmer and
stockfnan should be willing to do his
rart towards helping to free the state
