WOODROW WILSON FIAYs
STAND-PATTtRS IN TALK !

"I've Often Wondered What

He Says
WATTERSON UNANSWERED
Jersey Governor For Initiative
and Referendum, But Not
Recall of Judges

Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, accompanied by Dudley r..
Malone, assistant corporation counsel,
New York, and Walter Measday. sec
retary to the governor, arrived in De-
troit at 1850 o'clock, Thursday morn
ing, after being delayed over four
hours on account of a wreck. The
governor looked hale and hearty and
remarked that he was glad OF the de-
lay, because of 1t giving him q
chance o'fest.
Asked what ne had to say in re-
ply TO the statement Of Cox Henry
Watterson, Of Louisyiiie KY. that he
deserted Gov. Wilson because OF q
breach between the governor and Col.
George Harvey, adding that he had
hoped to find In Woodrow Wilson an
other Tilden, but had found him
rather a schoolmaster than states
man." Gov. Wilson said he was not
lyet ready to make statement. but
that he probably would make re-
ply later in the day.
Speaking of the referendum and
initiative, the governor said:
The direct legislative measures
have proven advantageous to Oregon.
| / have been forced TO surrender my
former opinion on the referendum and
initiative to American experiences
They are not radical, but rather con-
lscrvative measures. Legislation must
be prepared more carefully for the
initiative than for legislature.
| ~ do not believe In the recall or
judges, because 1t attacks the symp-
tom and not the disease: otherwise,
the recall works very we'll"
Gov. Wilson was met by reception
committee, which included, Alfred
Iucking, James Schermerhorn and
| President Milton A. McRae, of the
Board of Commerce. Immediately af-
ter his arrival he was taken to the
Wayne Gardens to address the mem
bers OF the Board OF Commerce and
their guests, the Michigan editors.
Following this address, Gov. VIII
son attended a conferences OF Michi-
gan Democratic leaders called Tor the
purpose OF Erecting a permanent or,

nomination.

MAYOR FAILS TO AROUSE
| ENTHUSIASM FOR PLAN
All He Gets From Factory
Hands in Discussing Franchise
Is Courteous Hearing

Mayor Thompson addressed about
250 out OF force of 700 men in the
plant OF the Hudson Motor Car Co.
Thursday neon, and while he was eeHr.
teously received and accorded re-
spectful hearing, the sentiment seem
ed to be against the ordinance. The
men applauded In perfunctory way
when the mayor concluded his 45-nin
ute talk and quietly resumed their
work, but some of them smiled sig
nifcantly as they turned away.
The mayor devoted his attention
chiefly to explaining the paving fea
lures OF the franchise, and the ques
tions asked had to do principally with
that phase Of the question. Many oi
the workmen are home-owners and
they wanted to know how the paving
was going to affect their taxes. The
mayor. as usual, made light Of this
burden.
Proctor X. Owens spoke at the De
Stoker Works. where he was informed
by the management that the senti
ment was equally divided among the
men. Mr.. Owens. howevergwas iiber
ally applauded, as he sailed intorths
mayors franchise. Mayor Thompson
he said, like the ID. u. R., had made
many promises but hadn't fulfilled
them. He compared the executive tc
Benedict Arnold and added:
He Is trying to deliver us to the
British bondholders of the ID. u. r.
At the conclusion of the speech the
men gathered around Mr.. Owens ano
shook hands with him. Many of them
declared they would vote against the
franchise.
A. b. du Pont, the street car expert
called in by Mayor Thompson dur
ing the secret negotiations with the
ID. u. r., and who has been brought
over from Cleveland once more to
help save the franchise from the de-
feat that seems inevitable, made the
astounding assertion, Thursday after
noon, that the city can still acquire
the property OF the ID. u. r. by con
demnation proceedings IL the fran.
chise Is adopted. This would amount
to revocation of the franchise and

The Swiss eagle is more powerful
than any American bird. The French
aviation officers stationed at Nice
which is within few miles of the
Alpine home of eagles, have trained
six great eagles. The officers have
constructed machines resembling aero
planes in shape, but supported by
balloons. To these they attach chick
ems, mice and all sorts of live prey
that the eagles love.
The aeroplane balloons are ther
sent up and the cables are let loose
With fierce cries and tapping of theil
wings they attack an aeroplane and
tear the living prey from it, In theil
eagerness they fight one another, and
the aeroplane is sometimes turned up
side down in their struggles. 1t is
inconceivable that any men in ar
aeroplane, even if there were three
or -four of them, could retain contro
of their machine in the face of such
an attack.
One after another the eagles at
tack all the aeroplane balloons unit
they are wrecked. Their trainers fee
certain that they will now attack rea
aeroplanes with men in them with the
same ferocity.
No one who has watched an eagle
only on the ground can have any con
ception of it's power. The bird is a,
a disadvantage on the ground, be
cause it was made to fly and not tt
walk, and because it does not develo1

ship, it needs room in which to ma

But In it's natural realm, the uppe,
air, the eagle will be capable of up
setting any flying machine. It cal
