, what he Is. All evil Is his enemy.
The influences that have opposed MIN
have demonstrated his availability,
and fitness on the one hand, and ex-
posed the unavailability and unfitness
OF some others on the other hand.
The influence that has opposed him
b1ghts and blasts any cause and any
person IL espouses That influence
has appealed TO the sordid low and
criminal. That influence fattens on
ignorance and avarice. The man that
accepts it's aid. so far as his public
usefulness Is concerned, would be
more fortunate had milestone been
tied about his neck and he had been
cast into the depths OF the sea. New
Jersey believes that the opposition TO
Governor Wilson, such as 1t, has
been, necessitates and secures his
| triumph.
Similar necessities, motives and
causes impel all men alike. The same
necessities, motives and causes wnich
draw. as by omnipotence. substan-
TALLY all New Jersey about this great
and good man. are -identicaly the
! same necessities, mo1ves and causes
that are in resistless motion IN every
State In the Union. Its solidarity
cannot be disintegrated. False argu-
ment falls broken against ia re-
volution of intelligent and patriotic
| millions Is the expression OF these
necessities, motives and causes.
Therefore. New Jersey argues that
Woodrow Wilson Is the only candi-
date who can not only make Demo
. cratic success q certainty, but se-
cure the electoral vote OF almost
every state In the Tnien. New JeF-
sew will indorse his nomination by
