SAYS WILSON HAS
NOT KEPT TRUST
."No Concern Would Stand for
What Jersey Does" De-
cIares Lawyer

Samuel ]. Macdonald, In an open let-
Ter gives his reasons for no wishing
N become q member of the Lawyers
woodrow Wilson Club. Mr.. Macdonald,
who is a wel1-known OF the
bar. declares that the Governor has
mt kent faith with the people of New
Jersey. He says in part:
ut seemed to me that IT
was time the facts OF me
governors blindness to principle
were set forth. and I made my response
IN the invitation of the Lawyers
woodrow Wilson Club an open letter,
for. look at It any way you will. Gov
ernor Wilson has not treated the people
Of this State rightly. He made an
earnest campaign for his present ofiioe
and promised that he would 4 1t Tor
the beneft of the State. In his oath Of
office he promised. too. that he would
diligently and faithfully perform the
duties to which he had been called. but
II would seem that no had forgotten
all about it.
1T do not know why any man should
regard that oath as merely perfume
tory. The Governor apparently has
viewed 1t as not binding. But when
he entered upon the Office Of Governor
he really entered into a contract with
the people of the State OF New Jersey.
He gave his word that he would have
their best interests at heart for three
years. In a sense, of course. the mat
ter resolves itself into an academic
question, but it isn't an abstract thing
that instead Of proceeding with his
duty in a quiet, sincere way. the Gov
ernor should have had 1t evidently in
mind, even when he took hat oath TO
use it only as a stepping stone.
mo private corporation anywhere
would stand from It's general manager
what his State has been and Is called
upon to stand from It's general man
ager-the Governor. Suppose you
hired a man to run your business for
s10,O 0 a year and he devoted nearly
all his time to interviewing people in
the endeavor to get a Job that paid
more? Would you consider that loyal
service? Would you say that that
man was doing the right thing by you!
IF az man Is to make a good Gov
ernor, IL he is to do even a. small part
IN duNdIlCluB Iu6 lHtercStS VI HIS ot1ec,
he cannot do 1t by imagining that the
State won't suffer when he is not pay
ing attention to 1t. 1t is his business
to know the State, to understand what
is needed in this section and that. and
to study long and carefully in making
his appointments.
'-The whole thing sums w to this
That the Governor has been a Cover
nor In name only and that the State OF
New Jersey has beer allowed to drift
without a man directing its business
because woodrow Wilson has failed in
what he promised the people Of this
State. And he is stopping at nothing
in his endeavor to reach the pinnacle
which he has set for himself"

GOV. ALDR|CK IS
OUT FOR COLONEL
Declares Nebraska Delegation
Will Be Solid for Roosevelt
at Convention.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Another Gov
ernor-Chester H. Aldrich, of Me-
braska-has Joined the Roosevelt
boomers and is actively engaged IN
swinging to the coloners support the
men out his way who name delegates
to national conventions. Governor
Aldrich has sen word to Governor w.
r. Stubs, of Kansas, who is stopping
here, that Nebraska wants the colonel
and that there will certainly be a solid
Roosevelt delegation at the national
convention.
Governor Stubbs had no more state
ments to issue, but he consented to
boom generally as he tucked one leg
under him on a solid sofa. A fragile
chair had creaked CONTINUOUSLY, SO the
big Kansan moved to the sofa as a
precautionary measure. He talked for
a quarter Of an hour and the gi5t of
his talk was that the colonel boom is
moving like a Kansas tornado.
IT am not at liberty to give out the
telegram I received from Governor
Aldrich," said Governor Stubs. but
It was a strong one. He believes that
Colonel Roosevelt will a the sup
port of the whole Missouri Valley.
Governor Aldrich commands much in
fuence in his state and he will work
actively for the colonel"

Italians Are Incensed Over
Attack by Governor Wilson.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson's attack upon the i'm
migrants from Southern Italy. Hun
gary and Poland, contained in the fifth
volume of his book, "History of the
American People, brought forth a tor
rem of Indignation yesterday . from
representative citizens of this city in
all walks of life.
Not only did Governor Wilson, in
his book. say people coming from the
part of Europe mentioned were unde-
Bira ole as citizens, but he classed them
below The Chinese, not only as work
men. but n the matter of intelligence.
How can such a man appeal to the
Hungarian citizen for his support?'
demanded the Rev. c. L.. Orbach, prest-
lent of the Slavok Press, the leading
publication of its kind in this u
try, who is always doing his utmost
for his fellow countrymen. Amy
Hungarian who has an atom of self
respect. after reading that book, will
not vote for aim. Regardless of his
attack upon our people, any man who
shows prejudice in the matter of
creed, race or nationality is not fit for
the Presidency.
Tile says our people are unsSilled. l
do not know what DIR. Wilson'S defni-
ton of skilled is, but I believe that
if he viii ask Andrew Carnegie to
w~hoso~jabors he is thankful for the
success of his steel mills he will quick
~ respond that it is to the Poles and
Hungarians.

CITY PURCHASES TREES
IN NORTHERN NEW YORK.

James H. Walker, of the Shade Tree
Commission, returned today from Gene
va and Rochester, N. Y. where he went
to make some purchases of trees and
to get prices by which he commission
would be guided. Mr.. Walker reports
that there is a scarcity of big trees
and hat it will have to be necessary
to put those that may be purchased In
nurseries for a year or two.
The city gives the Shade Tree Com
mission the right to use evera acres
Of land on a tract it owns in South
Orange, where the trees may be nursed
to full growth. In this n the com
mission saves a great deal of money,
1t buys young trees at a small price
and disposes of them at a good profit.

Wilson Calls Italians
Lower Than Cinnamon

Nov, there came multitudes
os men of the lowest class from
the south of italy and men of n
meanest sort out of Hungary and
Poland, men out of the ranks
where there was neither skill o
energy, nor any initiative OF
, quick intelligence, and they came
N numbers, which increased from
year to year, as If the countries
of the south of Europe were dis
burdening themselves Of the more
sordid and hapless elements of
their population.
1.-THE Chinese were more to be
desired as workingmen, II not as
citizens, than most of the coarse
crew that came crowding in
every year at the Eastern ports.
They had. no doubt, many an
unsavory habit, but it was their
skill. their intelligence, their
hardy power of labor, their knack
of succeeding and driving duller
rivals out rather than their alien
habits, that made the Chinese
feared and hated and led to their
exclusion at the prayer of the
men whom they were likely to
displace, should they multiply.
The u likely fellows who came
in at our Eastern ports were
tolerated because they usurped
no place but the very lowest in
the scale of labor"

tory of the American People,"

"WILSON HATES ITALIANS,
BUT ASKS THEIR VOTES"

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Replying to
Governor Wilson's attack on the people
of Southern Italy in his History of
the American People Frank l.. Fru-
gone editor of the Bolletino Della
Sierra, the official Italian organ of New
York, said yesterday:
THE statement made by Governor
Wilson that from the cities of Southern
Italy come thousands of men of talent,
worthless, dirty and despicable. is not
only a foolish statement, but a gross
libel on the italian people here and in
Italy.
This poor student and historian does
not know. or perhaps does not wish to
know, that from the cities of Southern
Italy comes thousands of men of talent,
and the work that they are doing is
reflected all owe the world as well as
in America.
Governor Wilson has not studied
history right, or he would know that
the Italians that have come here, with
a few exceptions, are the best element
of the Italian roce.'

many delegates to the National Demo-

will anchor in the bay and provide
sleeping quarters for the $500 New

their intention of attending the gath

BY sleeping on board the boats the
braves will escape much of the mid

will have plenty of room. A great deal
of money will be saved also. The
Tammany men will carry from New
York their own supply of food and
