citizens declares the New York man
innocent or guilty of slashing his

Trenton, n. J., March 22. 1919.
Frank L. Mayes, Editor Journal, PEN
sacola, Fla
DursIg the campaign preceding the
nomination for Governor In 1910. The
Times published a statement that the
records on file in the Mercer county
clerks once showed that Governor
Wilson had not voted In 1908.
A subsequent investigation disclosed
the fact that this information had
been obtained from an incomplete
placed on file by the election officers
Of the first precinct OF Princeton. The
complete record as shown In the cor
rect polling book disclosed the fact
that Governor Wilson had voted IN
1908 and that his name was duly
checked on by the election board.
This record showing that the gov
ernor did vote Is now In the hands
of the county clerk OF this county, who
is Republican. There can be no
question as to its accuracy. The cleo
ton officers placed the incomplete
record on file by mistake. It was
simply a part OF their outside records
and was unomciaL The election ON
GERS are willing to make affidavit that
they remember Governor Wilson being
at the polls and voting.
When the story first appeared the
governor made the emphatic declara-
tion that he had voted in 1908 and
says he voted for Bryan and Kern.
Charles H. Gallagher is the only
member Of the Democratic state com
mittee who stood BY the deposed
chairman, James r. Nugent, In fight
ing the governor. He has been unable
thus far TO get a Democrat Of any
kind TO stand for delegate against the
governor in this district and he dare
not stand himself. He Is entirely dis
credited politically here.
