This contest is the shortest in
point of time, when the value OF
the premiums are considered, that
has ever been held in this coun-
ty. 1t only lasts eight weeks

In Just exactly six weeks, or thfr-
ty-six working days the Great Pop

into history 1t will positively end
on July 20. This is the reason why
we are impres3ing the fact upon
you that you should work right
now and not lose minute. Don't
wait until some one else has been

the thirty-six days mean definite

this method you should be able to
get several clubs of ton naw sAb-

the special offer runs.
! Some contestants who have been
used to contests lasting three Oh

plenty of time to get started, but
such is not the case. The time

What of Your Child?
Parents, are you helping your
child win success in the pony con-

it will nevertheless make lasting

effect. IT it shold WIN? Well,
If it should win, it would perhaps
start your child upon successful
life; 1t would always have an OBJ
ject lesson in 1.-The Colonel to

incident UnpaIatable'

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 19.~-Discussing
ell, editor Of the Atlanta Constitution
and Democratic national committeeman
for Georgia. says.
1.-The Constitution has been reluctant
to believe that Governor Wilson, at d
crisis in his w and the party's career,
had taken a position inevitably sus-
ceptible TO %unenviable construction.
We maintained this hesitation no later
than yesterday, in an editorial COM
menting upon Harper's official an
n%ouncement, and expressing the hope
that In some way then unrevealed
these two men who had stood in such
intimate relations as political bene-
factor and beneficiary would be en-
abled to show the country that a pain
full situation grew out of a simple
misunderstanding. But that hope is
now complicated by the fact that
Henry Watterson, veteran editor and
publicist, friend TO both individuals
and a witness To the conference at
WIlItn lHe 1ONtlIlOI iHIOIIltd liS Gu
itor of Harper's that his support was
doing him an injury, c~orroborates
without qualification the reasons ad-
yanced by Harper's for taking down
Governor Wilson's name from its
masthead as Presidential candidate.
Colonel Watterson, who had beer
approached in Governor Wilson'S cause
by Colonel Harvey, states he shared the
hope held by the Constitution and al
Democrats informed of the relations be-
tween the principals that an under
standing and reconciliation vindieatine
the Governor could be effected. Colonel
Watterson also based his hope upon
what he, among the most accurately
informed of Americans regarding UNI
written political history. alleges to be
the fact hat except for Colonel Har.
vey he Governor Wilson, would not
be in the running at all
From whatever angle viewed the
whole incident is one of the most un-
palatable and ~deplorable that has de-
veloped in national politics"

Nebraska Eliminates
Wilson as Candidate

OMAHA, Jan. 19.-Mayor James
6. Dahlman issued a call yesterday
for a Statewide meeting of Ne
braska Democrats to confer on
presidential possibilities. The call
in part reads:
Realizing that the statements
of Colonel Watterson and Editor
Harvey have made the nomination
and election of Governor Wilson an
imposibility, all precinct, county
and district committeeman of the
Democratic party in Nebraska are
hereby invited to meet in Omaha,
at a date Don to be announced, to
talk matters over and take such
action as will benefit the party and
will prevent acrimonious dissen-
sions. which can only injure the
candidate who eventually is nomi-
mated.
1.-THE meeting is called not in the
interest of any particular candidate,
but of the party in general.
without the support of such men
as r now turning their backs
upon Governor Wilson. no Demo-
era can hope to be elected Presi-
dent of this country, and with the
elimination of Wilson as a posi-
bility there must of necessity be a
realignment of those Democrats
who once supported his candidacy"

(New York Tribune.)

tNew York Tribune)
1t is plainly Governor Wilson'S turn
to tell his side of the story. Colonel
Harvey has spoken. Colonel Waiter
son also has spoken, his tale putting
a slightly different construction on
what happened from that put by Col
onel Harvey's briefer and less detailed
statement in Harper's Weekly. Ac-
cording to Colonel Watterson. the re-
quest to the editor of that publication
TO conceal his raptures did not come
until the editor had asked the New
Jersey Governor whether those we'll
meant efforts were really harmful. But
Colonel Watterson apparently thinks
that Governor Wilson practically init
mated to his editorial boomer, before
the question was put. that his support
vas unweloome, by his cold, tyrannous
and autocratic name which Colonel
Watterson regards as more appropriate
i'm the schoolroom than in politics. Col
onel Watterson, needless to say, felt
after witnessing this pedagogical ex-
hibition very much like a grandmother
whom some impudent youngster had
tried to teach to suck eggs.
When, however, Governor Wilson
makes his statement 1t should contain
an explanation of his previous public
declaration on being asked why Colonel
Harvey had ceased celebrating his po-
liticaI availability. Upon that occasion
why did not Governor Wilson, the
champion of publicity, take the people
into his confidence? Why didn't he
tell exactly what happened? why didn't
he explain, IL his idea of what hap
pened agrees with Colonel Watterson's.
that upon Colonel Harvey's asking him
whether the support of Harper's Week
ly was helpful or otherwise he had
candidly told him that II was Injurious?
He might have added that he felt both
the question and the subsequent action
of Colonel Harvey to be proof of his
extraordinary devotion as a friend.
Why, instead Of this, did he try to mis-
lead the public as to what happened
by saying that Colonel Harvey ran
Harper's Weekly entirely upon his W
judgment?
The Governors statement, when 1t is
issued, should explain how he recon
ciled that utterance with the facts. for
his apparent lack of righteousness Is
really of more public importance now
than the precise degree of insTatitude
that he showed to his former friend.
Surely It could not have been mere
consideration for Colonel Harvsy's

CRITICISM AMONG FRIENDS.

fBrooklyn Citizen.)
The Ease of Governor Wilson dis
charging n of his friends is not ex-
actly like that of candidates who
ask certain of their supporters to
keep under cover. OF course. every
party manager has to have contribu-
tons; and, of course, no candidate
must have wall Street" But there is
seldom any difficulty about that. The
left hand does not know what the right
hand doeth.
Mr.. Wilson'S act is arousing criti-
cal comment among people who have
been friendly heretofore. This is quite
natural, for zone of them knows when
his turn will come next.
AS a rule, a man needs all the
friends he can get; and usually. the
older the better.

Wilson'S MAGNIFICENT Isolation

the race of pedagogues has been more
fortunate than that of others. But tht
meaning is clear. Few are able to
encounter the arrogant, ~self-satisfied
instructors of their not-to-be-regretted
youth without a sense of the old revul-
sion.
But DR.. Wilson has improved on the
methods of the schoolmasters. He has
no favorites, no promising boys. He
is not softened by the reflection, SO
and So knew and proclaimed how
great and brilliant / am" Result, his
present magnificent isolation. AS for
the State organizations that he thought
he carried round in his poeket-it
may be that, in spite OF his habits,
he is not quite so sure of it all now.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
IS FIRST CHOICE
Of PROGREss|vEs
Continued from First Page.)

of a row between the Roosevelt, Pro-
gressives and the LaFollette Progress
sives of New Jersey.
IF Roosevelt will permit his name
to be printed on the primary ticket
an overwhelming majority of the New
Jersey Progressive Republicans will
support him, and he will sweep the
State.
IF Roosevelt is not a candidate I
believe the Progressives will be solidly
united for LaFollette and he will poll
q surprisingly big vote in New Jersey.
La Toilette Well Enough Known.
There is nothing in the objection
that LaFollete is not well-known in
the East; the people know what he
stands for, and they will know about
him and his record before the primary
is held. Besides, LaFollette is better
known now throughout the country
than Lincoln was when he was nomi-
mated for President.
1.-The Progressives have not yet
agreed on a candidate for United States
senator, but we will agree before the
times comes for action.
Three Candidates for Senator.
$50 far only three Progressive candi-
dates are being considered-Everett
Colby, George l.. Record and James c.
Blauvelt. Record will have the en-
thusiastic support of Hudson county;
Colby is practically the unanimous
choice of the Essex Progressives, and
Blauvelt will have the solid backing
of Passaic. The Progressives in other
counties will. probably be divided. But,
when it comes to selecting the man.
the New Jersey Progressives will be
united-there will be only n Progress
sive candidate, and that will be the
Progressive who, 1t is agreed, will poll
the largest vote at the primaries. If
we cannot agree on Colby or Record or
Blauvelt, then we will find a candidate
we can agree upon.
All satisfactory to Osborne.
'The papers have referred to me as
n supporter of Record, and theoretically
as opposed to Colby. That is not cor
rect; either Colby or Record or Blau-
welt will be satisfactory to me as sena-
tor. 1t is in no sense a personal matter
with me-my concern Is not to get the
nomination for any personal favorite,
but to have the strongest Progressive
selected as our candidate for senator.
I'VE have a splendid chance to win
M we choose Il strongest man. The
senator came within q thousand votes
OF winning in 1910--we ought to poll a
much larger vote In 1872"

WILSON DIsGUsTED wATTERsoN.
New York Press

Colonel Watterson is a gentleman
whose word would go far in a ques-
ton of ~veracity as between him and
some o hers. and it must be said that
the K~entuckian's account of the in
terview with Colonel Harvey and Gov
Wilson goes a long way to con-
firm the growing impression that the
Jerseyman is not the kind Of stuff of
which Presidents are made. If the
editor of Harper's Weekly was griev-
ously wounded when his lido dis
charged him from the position of
trusted intimacy" he had held, Henry
Watterson was disgusted with the
revelation of DR.. Wilson's character
thus afforded.
