SAYS WILSON IS
A SURE WINNER

dominates Woodrow Wilson, governor
of New Jersey, as their choice for the
presidency of the United States they
will have laid the cornerstone of the
foundation of success at the fall cleo
ton.
No public official today stands so
near and so close to the people of New
Jersey as does Governor Wilson, and
II nominated and elected he VIII be
the peoples president, just as he is
the peoples governor in the state of
New Jersey.
Governor Wilson's personality was a
big asset when he ran for governor In
1910, and when during his campaign
tour he made any promise to his audi
ences they believed him, as was shown
by the big majority which vas given
him on election day.
His opponents during the campaign
called him "a schoolmaster' and said
he was mo politician They were
right. He proved himself "a school
master" of the highest class, for he
educated the voters so that they Knew
the difference between right and
wrong, and they placed their conf
dence in him by eIecting him as gov
ernor, and as the state executive he
has not abused that confidence.
He proved himself mot a politician
but instead a statesman and a man,
for he kept his promise to the people,
and ever since his Inauguration his en-
tire efforts have been in behalf of the
people.
That his efforts In behalf of the PEG
pie have peer appreciated was shown
by the resolutions passed by the New
Jersey State Federation of Labor at its
convention held In Trenton, n. j., on
Feb. 10, 1912. in which union la
Dor praises Governor Wilson for
active part In the passing OF legislative
acts for the betterment of conditions
for the laboring class.
Governor Wilson is also a stanch
advocate of tariff revision, and the tar
tff will play a dominant part in the
coming presidential campaign. The
people are beginning to see through
the old Republican cry of Protection
TO American industries and now real
lie that what 1t really means is PRO
lection to the trusts that have been
gradually creating a monopoly by fast
crushing out the smaller competitor.
Ask the average intelligent working
man today how much he Is saving IN
der the high protective tariff, and he
will nine times out of ten inform you
that II can hardly make enough to live
on, let alone lay any money aside
And he tells you the truth, and he Is
beginning to learn that the cause of
his not being able to save Is because
the paying of the high tariff is com
Ing u of his pocket indirectly. The
people are awakening to the fact that
what they want is a tariff revision, a
-tarisss aHfUDaG only and not a tariff

son said, 1--WE are to act upon the fun
damental principles of the Democratic
party, not free trade, but tariff for rev
enue."
1.-THE interests do not want Wilson
nominated because they see in his
nomination his election. Already In
tiuences are being brought to bear to
keep him from being nominated, as is
shown by false and scurrilous lltera
ture that is being sent out from Wash
ington and Chicago, which contains
the most barefaced lies about Gov
eruor Wilson. The fact that they are
not signed nor have anything on them
to show who sent them should prove
to the recipients that the articles are
nothing but a tissue OF lies.
No matter who the Republicans may
nominate, whether it be Taft or king
Teddy Ill.," If the Democratic party
dominates Governor Woodrow Wilson
he will lead them ON to victory, for he
has proved to the people that he can
and will represent the people and not
the special interests.
Ever since his election as governor
OF New Jersey he has proved himself
open and above board in the business
actions Of the state, believing that the
business of the state should not be
tTahz ,teI secret, but that the citi-
zcns of New Jersey are entitled to
know what Is being done. Governor
Wilson is Democracy itself. Repub-
llcan newspapers and even some Dem
ocratic bosses created an impression
that Governor Wilson when he was
first elected was q man who held him.
self nlOOf from his fellow men, but to
the thousands of people who have met
him personally and shaken hands with
him they have found him, not a dema-
gogue. but instead really "a peoples
governor for, no matter how lowly IN
life a mans station may be, he will re.
reive the same kindly greeting and
hearty h~andshake as the man of big
business affairs.
That Governor Wilson Is popular
with the people of New Jersey is shown
by the unsuccessful attempts that have
been Inade throughout the state to ere
ate opposition to him. Take, for in
stance, Camden county, a Republic
an stronghold, where Governor Wilson
cut the big Republican majority near
ly in half. A few weeks ago former
State Chairman Jim Nugent visited
Camden and invited a number of Dem
ocratic leaders to a dinner in an eff
fort to put out a 'feeler" as to the
sentiment against Wilson, which had
been rppDrtp1 as strong but instead
