statement cit is Wall street VS.. Will
son. woodrow Wilson's character,
temperament, preparation and fitness
is above the high average of Amerl-
can Presidents. He is Christian, a
scholar and a fearless citizen.
Republicans can vote for Wilson
without leaving their party or bolt
ing. The real Republican party has
no candidate for President, this year.
There has been no nomination. The
action of the political free hooters at
Chicago is not binding upon the Re
publican party even if for the mo-
ment they are bearing aloft its stolen
ensign"

GOVERNOR DIX
Insures Wilson's Support in His State
-Gratified With Convention Returns.

New York, July 3.-Before leaving
for Albany, this afternoon. Gov. Dix
repeated that he was very much graft
fled at the way the convention at Bal
timore turned out and added that he
would do everything possible to insure
Gov. Wilson's support in this state
and accomplish his election.
1T will be hard fought campaign,
said the governor, but l believe our
party has the issues which will be APP
proved by the people.
Il do not see how Col Roosevelt
can do anything but continue his
third party movement In that event
it will surely result in benefit to the
Democratic party. And in this con-
nection | want to say that the Demo-
cratic party is dominated by principles
rather than the man. Mr.. Bryan is
eliminated
The governor said he believed he
was entitled to denomination and
thought il certain that the Democratic
state ticket will be eleced.

OVER-CONFIDENT?
Some Democrats May Be Disappoint-
ed Before Thanksgiving.

Baltimore, July 3.-Members of the
Democratic National committee indi-
Gated. today, that the plan and scope
of the Presidential campaign in the in
te=est of Governor Woodrow Wilson
will in a measure depend on whether
or not a third party is formed by Col.
Roosevelt.
The committeeman who depart, to-
morrow, to pay their respects to the
Democratic nominee at Sea Grit, n. j.,
discussed informally, tonight, the out
look for Gov. Wilson's candidacy 1t
was suggested that as Wilson was a
Progressive. Col Roosevelt might,
within the next few weeks, announce
the abandonment of his plan for Il
Progressive party.
whether Roosevelt forms a third
party or not" remarked Chairman
Mack, 1.-The Democratic ticket as it is
now constituted. viii appeal to both
Conservatives and Progressiyes with
i'm our ranks, and with the Republican
vote divided success for Wilson and
Marshall is assured
The committeeman say that while
the coming campaign will be discussed
with Gov. Wilson. tomorrow, it Is eX-
tremely unlikely that any well-defined
plan of action will be adopted for some
time. The subcommittee appointed by
Chairman Mack to confer with the
nominee naming of the new National
chairman and desirability of forming
a campaign committee as a board of
strategy will talk with Mr.. Wilson. to-
morrow. Announcement is to be made,
later. when full meeting of the Ma
tional committee will be called to take
definite action. The full National COM
mittce meeting to name a chairman
and outline plan of campaign and es-
tablish headquarters will probably be
helo in Chicago or some other central
point.
The general opinion here. tonight. is
that William F. McCombe of New
York, or A. Mitchell Palmer, congress-
man from Pennsylvania, will be chosen
head of the committee to conduct the
Wilson campaign.
Practically all of the delegates have
departed for their homes and, tonight,
Baltimore hears only the echoes of the
National committee which finished it's
work, early today.
