FOR WILSON IN THIS fTA1E
Is HONORED.
SIGNED 10000 letters
Over FIFTY Pounds of Telegrams Yet
10 BE Answered by Democratic
Candidate.

SEAGlRT, n. j., July l7.-The dem
ocratlc campaign committee, which
VIII direct the coming presidential
campaign, will be selected here tomor-
row in part, II not in whole, by GOV
ernor Wilson and National Chairman
McCombs, In consultation with the
nine leaders whom the governor has
invited TO confer with him.
The men whom the governor has
invited to come to Seagirt and upon
whose advice he win lean heavily In
making his choice are:
Robert s. Hudspeth, national COM
Ttteeman from New Jersey; Josephus
Daniels, national committeeman from
North Carolina; Willard Salisbury ma
tlOnal committeeman from Delaware;
A. Mitchell Palmer. national commit
teeman from Pennsylvania; Joseph Il.
Davies, national committeeman from
Wisconsin, secretary Of the democratic
national committee; Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, Senator O'Gorman Of New
York, Representative Burleson of
Texas and William G. McAdoo of New
York.
While the power Of appointment Of
the campaign committee is vested In
Mr.. McCombs, IL Is understood he will
but act as the medium, and that the
actual appointments will be made by
Governor Wilson. Whether the per-
sonnel of the committee Is to be made
pTalic tomorrow or not depends solely
upon the celerlty with which Governor
Wilson and his ten advisers complete
their task. The appointments VIII not
be made known piecemeal unless the
governor changes his present intention,
but will be announced as whole.
Governor Wilson expects to meet
his guests about o'clock In the aft
ernoon at his summer residence. In
addition to the personnel OF the com
mittee. he plans to discuss with them
in n pbroad sense the organization Of
the campaign.
Governor Wilson signed his ten
thousandth letter today in answer to
admirers who have showered him with
congratulations by mail, and thereby
caught up with the letters awaiting
his attention. There are still more
than fifty pounds of unanswered tele-
grams. estimated at 10000 in number.
The senders of these also will receive
his personal thanks.
Among the letters received by Gov
Wilson recently have been fifty or
so asking him If he really did abolish
the civil marriage ceremony in New
Jersey.
The governor wondered at first how
anyone could have gotten an impress
sion that he did but recalled the Mar
tin act, passed recently by the leglsla-
turo, eliminating from the half dozen
or so grades Of civil officers who may
officfate at marriages the justices OF
the peace. A great light broke upon
him and he replied to each letter say
ing that he did not abolish civil mar
riages, but that the passage of the act
merely put an end to abuses of their
power by justices and that there were
still any number Of Jersey mayors, al
dermen, magistrates, recorders and the
like who We're fully empowered and
perfectly willing to marry any couple
properly licensed who s\1uld apply to
them

re- United States district attorney, rel

In an opinion given tonight Judge

OF the opinion that neither registra-
uon nor election officers can claim

Judge Taylor calls attention to the

election officers of Klngfisher county
on charges of conspiracy to prevent
negroes from voting for congressman.
During the trial of this case, Federal
Judge Cotteral held the grandfather

THE application OF such laws to ne
groes,' says Judge Taylor, RAISES n
federal question, the decision of WHICH
by federal court Is TO be preferred
To decision by a state court and
where the election officers act In good
Faith In enforcing the law they are
not crminally liable for their conduct.
but this question Of good faith must

Beall and Quinn, who were convict

circuit court of appeals, where the
question Of the validity of the law Is
now pending. Taylor holds that In the
meantime the federal courts decision
has preference.
Attorney General Charles J. West
gave an opinion last Friday that reg
istratlon and election officers can en-
force the provisions of the grandfather

MAhIuNGTON July H. Senator
O'Gorman of New York charged in
the senate today that railroad lntlu-
,rnce was behind Great BriHin's pro.
test against the Panama Canal bill
and he Joined with Senator Lodge IN
declaring the United States possessed
full rights under the British treaty
to give free passage 10 ships Of AM
eucan register. These two ships
marked the debate In the scnutc on

60 American ships Mr. Lodge favored
"A bin to rebate the tolls TO American
ships. however while Senator O'Gor-
man declared the United States poss-
essed the fun right TO give American
vessels free passage If desired, Seua
tor Lodge conceded that If the case
went to the Hague court the United
States probably would lose.
The support today for the provision
giving free passagr TO American ships
against which Great Britain has pro
tested, was more emphatic than at
any time since the senate began con-
sideratlon of the bill. Mr.. O'Gorman,
Senator Cummins and uthers said If
the United States had to construe the
treaty literally I'm giving the ships OF
all nations equal treatment. II would
by other terms of the treaty be pre-
vented from defending the canal In
case of war.
"lf foreign fleet appeared AT the
end of the canal" said Senator Reed
of Missouri. the United States would
have no right under such a construc-
ton of the treaty to take any stems
against IT, Senator Burton of ohio.
who made the first speech in favor
of the British theory declared the war
department would suspend operation
of the treaty. Senator McCumber in
a speech against the free provisions
confided ii was his belief that the
canal would have To remain neutral
even in time of war and THAI the
United States would be forbidden by
the Hay Pauncefote treaty from taxi
ing any measures to blockade or use
the canal for its own protection.

PRESIDENT FORCES
WON'T COMPROMISE
TAFT TALKS STRAIGHT FROM
SHOULDER TO DELEGATION
FROM THE WEST.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-President
Taft will fight Colonel Roosevelt and
the leaders of the third party move
ment for every presidential elector
who runs on the republican ballot un-

The fight will be carried in every
state where third party leaders hope to
have republican electors vote for Mr..
Roosevelt. Regular republicans In
touch with the president, the repub-
lican national committee and the
Taft leaders will begin at once a
campaign to make sure that electors
voted for on the republican ticket
will stand by that ticket In the cleo
toral college.
Suggestions of compromise, said to
have been taken to the White House
got no hearing from the president.

tion of South Dakota men that he
would listen to nothing of that kind
He believes that men who appear on
and are voted for on republican tick
cts are bound to vote for the repub-
lican nominee.
No plan of action has been devised
In states like South Dakota, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, where the Roose-
welt leaders have expressed the view
that the electors now on the repub-
lican ticket would line up for the
colonel. but callers who talked with
Mr.. Taft today were convinced that
he would fight the plan to the end.
Senator Gamble and representative
Burke. of South Dakota, took state
delegation to the White House today,
and after the conference with the
president, the delegation left for New
Y York. where the case will be taken
