NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.- Il feel
that have arrived in American poll
ties"
This was the humorous utterance
today of Governor Woodrow Wilson,
the Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, during short talk he gave to re-
porters who awoke him at his hotel.
After he hal talked to the reporters
he went back to bed, tired out with
his long New England campaign and
expecting to be up late tonight at the
dinner to be given to National cham
bers of commerce.
Discussing his New England invas-
ion the governor said: II feel immense
ly gratified and encouraged by my re-
ceptions in New England. l was es-
pecially impressed with the fact that
everywhere that great crowds with
whom l came in contact and the peo-
pie whom l met personally seemed to
take it for, granted that the Demo
cratic ticket would be elected. That
struck me as being remarkably sig
nificant. The size and enthusiasm OF
the crowds that wanted to hear me
speak and see me also impressed me
and it was gratifying to find it SO in
teresting.
There can be no doubt that they are
thinking seriously; that they are anx-
ious to find out what 1 had to say"
Dodaes Ono Question.
4'Of course youafeel that the Demo
cratic ticket will win?' it was sug-
gested.
Il have not allowed myself to form
the prompt answer. 'It. will be the
same to me whether win or lose-I
shall keep on fighting for a principle.
However, feel that have arrived in
American politics. When I was can
didate for governor of New Jersey
thought had arrived when a stranger
in a campaign crowd slapped me on
the back and exclaimed How are you,
Doc?
81 felt surer Of it the other day, when
switchman in overalls called out to
me when stood on the rear platform
of the private car: You're all right
Woody Now l know it, for some
body in the audience at Bridgeport
cried out in the middle of my speech
Say, you're all right, kid"
The governor and his party enter
tanned several ladies on his private
car Federal from Bridgeport to Stat
ford last night. There ere Mrs.
Homer s. Cummings. wife of the ma
tional committeeman Of Connecticut
and two of her friends. The ladies
were escorted through the car on a
sightseeing expedition by the governor
himself who remarked that "all the
to make it perfect"
Looks to me as If it needed the
touch of a feminine broom" retorted
Mrs. Cummings.
Local committees from all the towns
in which the governor spoke had been
overseeing the car, boarding it miles
in advance of their own towns to as
sure their candidate that he would get
fitting reception and scattering cigar
ashes and cigaret butts and burned
matches all over the plush carpet.
The governor will rest in Seagirt to-
morrow. He goes to Atlantic City on
Monday to attend a convention and
on Tuesday he will attend the New Jer.
sey Democratic committee at Trenton.
Then he will leave in the morning and
board his private car for Denver, Colo,
on his second Western tour.
