Entering the hall at gil o'clock, after
! speaking before an enthusiastic audience
in the Bronx. the Democratic candidate
stood for an hour and three minutes at
the railing of the speakers platform walt
ing for the demonstration to end
| Starting with the first shouts from the
| doorway when Governor Wilson arrived
| by automobile from the Bronx meeting,
the Madison Square outbreak defied his
! utmost efforts to quell it. The govern
or's motions for quiet brought only re-
| newed cheers.
| Chants of I'VE want Wilson," shook
the hall, and twice when the cheering
had slightly subsidized it was started with
| renewed vjgor by young women who
| forced their way to the front of the
! front of the speakers stand and inspired
the crowd to fresh efforts.

people are about to make one of the most
vital choices of their lives. From one
ocean to the other. men are becoming
aware that in less than a week the com

81 know from the reports coming from
all parts of the country that the new party
| has not come from the Democrats. There
! fore, 1t must be made up of those Repub-

and programs.
| "An men have to do is to realize that
| the common enterprises OF life are the
enterprises of politics; that a man is not
voting an abstract political creed, but Is
voting q program Of justice and of right
when he votes at the polls,
Scores Rash Promises.
| You have got to have a vital organi-
zation of purpose spreading throughout

great project of emancipation, and the
| only possible chance of having a great
united organization after the 4th of March
next is to vote the Democratic ticket

people what he is not ready to perform.
The case is made up; the case is before

~ myself do not doubt the verdict, but
/ want to say to you that IL the verdict
shall be that the people OF the United
States have voted upon their individual
convictions as free men, 1, for my part
am ready to accept the verdict, whether

believe in the things that l believe in and
purpose the things that I purpose, it
will be of no avail II you elevate me to
the isolated and lonely office"
At the big rally in the Bronx Governor
Wilson took occasion to reply to the talk
OF his opponents that the prosperity Of
the country would be affected by his cleo
ton. He pointed to the betting odds
in wall street, so largely IN FAVOR OF
Democratic success. This was what he
called his answer in a nutshell" show
ing he declared, that there is not the
slightest prospect Of any check in the
countrys prosperity The only way the
prosperity OF the country could be in
jured, he said, was by the deliberate eff
forts of Wall Street.
1.-THE gentlemen in Wall Street do not
bet to l on their own destruction. and
they do not go to their business smiling
and complacent when they expect a de-
LUCE next week" was his way of put
