H -
E. Mack. to share with the chairman
the responsibilities of his office.
Chief among the visitors today
from a standpoint of politics will be
Champ Clark, the defeated candidate
for the nomination. From quite an
other camp will come Charles r.
Crane of Chicago, a heavy contribu-
tor to the La Toilette campaign fund,
and one of his stanch supporters in
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination. He will be accompanied
by Charles Van Hise, President of
Wisconsin University, a friend of
the New Jersey executive.
Various interpretations are placed
upon the coming of these. Pro-
gressives from the Republican ranks
into the Democratic stronghold at Sea
Grit. 1t has neen rumored that Mr..
Crane has a message from La Fol-
lette which he seeks to present to
the Governor after Introduction by
the Wisconsin college president. Gov
ernor Wilson would not comment on
this tonight, as there was little ex-
cept fancy to substantiate 1t. It was
pointed out, however, hat although
Wilson and La Toilette spring from
opposing parties they are both Pro-
gressives who have a common foeNin
Theodore Roosevelt, and that as mat
tiers are. shaping the political lineup
this fall is likely to be a sharp one
between the colonel and the New
Jersey Governor. There is specula-
ton as to whether La Toilette might
not be willing to swing his following
toward the Wilson camp.
Representative James T, Lloyd. of
Missouri. of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee, called
at the Governors cottage yesterday
and suggested that there ought
to be a closer relation between his
committee and the National Demo-
cratic Committee than existed in the
last compaign, that there might be
no ~ces duplication of cam
paign work. The Governor concurred
in this wish. Mr.. Lloyd was accom-
panied by Colonel Robert E. Wing,
national committeeman from Louisi-
ana. Other callers of yesterday
were Judge William P. Martin and
Frank H. Sommer, of Newark,
neither of whom, however, conferred
with the Governor.
Governor Wilson said today the
matter being preached to him, that
he favored publication before election
of the names of all campaign contri-
butors. He adds, that such publicity
is in accordance with the views he
always has held.
Josephus Daniels, of North Caro-
lina,. said today: Former Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, jour
.eyed Thursday to Oyster Bay and
pledged a%ffiliation with the Bull
Ex-senator P%ettigrew, who
is best known as a Populist and a
Republican. and who is everything
except a Democrat, made a vain eff
fort to break into the Baltimore con-
vention. The National Democracy
to have any part of him, and
after being denied a seat as a dele
gate, he has cast his lot with the
Bull Moose. The Democracy is to be
congratulated
kilograms and letters of congratu-
lation continue to pour in upon Gov
ernor Wilson. M of the most APP
preciated congratulatory messages
received came from Richard Olney, of
Massachusetts, who was secretary of
under Grover Cleveland. Mr..
Olney wired: MY congratulations
On a well deserved victory of i'm
nense Importance to the country and
