ATAN7IETAM FIFTY YEARS AGO.

eN OMORROW will occur the fftieth anniversary of the great
ii battle of Antietam, which turned back the tide of Con
federate invasion by the defeat of General Lee. The
Army of the Potomac had been the football of Washington
politics. After the Peninsular campaign, which was ruined by
jealousy and intrigue at Washington, the vainglorious General
Pope took command of the army and led it to a disastrous de-
feat. Lee then marshaled his forces and crossed the Potomac
for the invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Mcclellan was
recalled to the command, the army was restored to fighting con-
dihon, the battles of South Mountain and Champions Gap were
fought and on September II the two armies faced each other
at Antietam. The whole North had meanwhile been aroused
and militia regiments were forwarded from several States. New
Jersey furnished her quota. These troops did not participate in
the battle, but were kept in the background as a second line OF
defense. Oily at Gettysburg and Spottsylvania were the losses
greater than at Antetam, our army losing 1866 men in killed,
wounded and missing and the Confederate loss being 1901. 1t
was a dearlybought victory for the Union army. Lee retreated
across the Potomac and the crippled victor did not follow.
Washington politics then resumed activity. Mcclellan was re-
moved and disaster attended our armies until General Grant,
coming from the West, invested with powers that defed political
intrigue, waded through the slaughter of Spottsylvania, the
Wilderness, Cold Harbor and the Petersburg assault to a final
victory at Appomattox.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. Ex-Governor

Des Moines, Ia, where he will speak
at the State Fair. His train was an
hour late. Governor Wilson will re-

cratic campaign in Ohio.
The governor was asked for a state
ment regarding the New York stu
alton, but he declined to say any,
thing at present, intimating that he
may have a statement to make later
on. He said, however, that 1t will be
impossible for him to make any
special effort to speak in the Empire
State, for he is booked solidly up to
the time of election.
The governor said the most i'm
portant speech of his present trip, as
far as he can determine now, will be
delivered at Columbus on Friday.

ROOSEVELT SEES
SWEEP IN WEST
Colonel Is Enthusiastic Over
Reception Accorded Him
on Stamping Tour.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-Entire-
ly satisfied with the reception accord
ed him in his swing through the
West and with the enthusiasm his
speeches have inspired, Colonel Roose-
welt today expressed himself in en-
thusiastic terms on the prospects of
his fight for the presidency.
ut looks like a clean sweep of the
West for the Progressives," he said.
The colonel is looking for complete
victory in these States: California,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Min
nesota, Iowa, North Dakota and Mis-
souri,. These are the only States
he has thus far touched, and he is
looking to bring about similar condi-
lions by his campaigning in Wiscon-
sin, Nevada and Montana.
The strenuous campaign which the
Progressive candidate has been con-
Quoting through the West will be re-
sumed today after the slight Interrupt
ton which 1t underwent yesterday,
Yesterday was the first day the for
mer President has spent entirely in
resting, and 1t will possibly be the
last until after election. When the
colonel comes East he will immediate
ly start stumping New York State.
Then he will go through Pennsyl-
vanla, Illinois and Ohio and finish in
New York city the night before cleo
ton, after devoting considerable time
to New England.

fuence will be felt in the framing OF
a platform.
The income tax law, it is promised,
will furnish food for deliberation
when the Democrats meet. Judge
John c. KarNl, the Democratic guber-
material nominee, is known to favor
the repeal of the law, and If the peo-
pie demand 1t, the enactment of q
new measure.

and Prohibition nominees are looked
upon as mere formalities to conform
with the law, rs their platforms were

1t is even predicted that the Senate,
on the count of members actually en-
titled to sit after the next inaugura-
ton day, will likely be Democratic
because of the number of Republicans
who will retire without their Legisla-
places. The Senate stands today Re-
publican by only eight majority.

GOV. WILSON Is ANGERED
BY SLOW=GOING SPECIAL


URBANA, O., on board Governor
Wilson's special car, Sept. 16.-"No
more private cars for me, unless bet
ter arrangements can be made" said
Governor Woodrow Wilson today,
with a trifle of irritation In his voice.
The Democratic candidates private
car, according to railroad rules, could
not be attached to the fast trains,
and, as a result, Governor Wilson was
forced to spend all day on the train,
when he might ~have<been in Chicago
early today. This fact was brought
home to the governor as he thought
of Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who
passed the candidate at Harrisburg
last night.
Just think of It'll" said Governor
Wilson. Senator Gore left New York
two hours after we did and Is In
Chicago this morning, where he can
finish his business and meet us going
back"
To add to the nominees discom-
future the private car went through a
series of maneuver in the railroad
yards at Columbus that were far from
pleasant. 1t was showed around in
short quick jerks which played havoc
with the breakfast table, where the
nominee was seated.
His train was two hours late when
leaving Columbus, and indications
were that the nominee would have
more difficulty in Chicago, where his
itinerary called for only hours
leeway in making connections with
the train that was to take him to
Sioux City, Ia, tonight.

TAFT PLEASED
WITH OHIO SLATE
Believes Selection of Mine
Workers President for Office
Will Strengthen Party.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 16.-Presi-
dent Taft learned with pleasure to-
day of the selection by Ohio Republi-
can of Thomas Lewis, former presl-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
as the party's candidate for secretary
of State. Word came from Ohio lead
ers that the entire State ticket is
made up of regular Republicans. The
addition of Lewis, the President was
told, adds great strength to the Re
publican lineup.
Plans for the Presidents next. rail-
road trip away from Beverly were
today under consideration. The Presi-
dent will leave next Sunday night fol-
Washington, where, on Monday, he
will address the Congress of Hygiene
and Demography.
Josiah Hicks, of Altoona, chairman
of the committee on arrangements
for the meeting there early next
week of the Civil War Governors AS
ISOLATION, was a caller today at Par
ramatta. MI. Taft is anxious to go
to Altoona or September "a on his
way back to Beverly, but Mr.. Hicks
told him that arrangements were al
most completed for his arrival there
on September 25.
Before starting for the golf links
the President looked over a big bunch
of kilograms and letters congratulate
ing him on his fifty-fifth birthday.
King George of England, the presi-
dent of Cuba and the presidents of
several Central American republics
were among those who sent such mes
sages. Many senators, congressman
and hundreds of friends sent their
greetings to the summer white house.
One communication was from a Bos-
ton mar named Taft, who said he was
IS years old last Friday, making him
just two days older than the Presi-
dent.
So many favorable reports of the
progress of his campaign have
reached President Taft within the
past few days that he is now not
only hopeful, he is confident of being
reelected,

Mr.. SMITH AIDED
BY CAMDEN SPLIT
Davis Says Former United
States Senator Is Strong
in South Jersey.

CAMDEN, Sept. 16.-Asked what
he thought of the contest between
former United states Senator James
Smith, jr., of Essex county; ex-Judge
Wescott, of Camden county, and
Judge Hughes, of Paterson, over the
United States senatorship, William
II. DAVIS, of Camden, a member of
the Democratic State Committee, re-
piled:
IT signed Wescott's petition and be-
lieve he will poll a large number OF
votes. They tell me some Of the
people up Broadway are for Hughes.
and, with what they call the Pro-
gressive vote split between Wescott
and Hughes, and 1 am told the sumo
conditions prevail all over the State,
Smith in my opinion will win"
strong in South Jersey.
Committeeman Davis stated that he
expected to do all in his power to
aid the Wescott candidacy, but de-
clared that former Senator Smith
would pofl a large vote throughout
South Jersey. In mentioning 1.-The
people up Broadway the committee

the Democratic Club, where the
Democratic executive committee
holds it's regular meetings. Speaking
of the local situation, Committeeman
Davis said:
Its a beautiful mess. 1 don't
know where l am or what is what.
Somebody is getting things politically
pretty well mixed up"
Under the circumstances it is evil
dent hat harmony does not prevail
in the ranks. of the Democratic party
in Camden. AS the time for the
casting of the ballots approaches the
breach appears to be widening 10
such an extent that it would not be
a surprise if the slate made by the
Democratic machine is smashed at
the primaries.
The Camden machine is backing
the candidacy of Governor Wilson In
the city, and as additional evidence
of how the feeling exists In the
donkey party" an anti-machine
man. once affiliated with the regu-
lars, last night said:
"If Judge Wescott Is elected sena-
tor he will no doubt do a lot of spar
ring on the floor Of the senate, but If
Smith wins he will hit somebody be-
tween the eyes at short notice. l am
for the fellow who will act quick.
Republicans Enjoy War.
Although they have trouble in their
own party, Camden Republicans are
jubilant over the merry war between
the Democrats. They believe thai
the fractional fight will not end at the
primaries, and expect to see a great
deal of cutting of tickets at the gen
eral election.
Little is heard in Camden about
the Progressive party. No candidates
for local offices have been named,
and it is believed that they will sup
port the Regular Republican nomi-
nees in the ward fights with few ex-
ceptions. In political circles it is be-
lieved hat the Progressive eandi-
dates for congress in the first dis
trict, and for surrogate in Camden
county, will be a big help to the
Democratic nominees.

WILSON'S FIRST CAMPAIGN TOUR.

OvERNOR WILSON'S anteconventon campaign in the
Mt Middle West was attended by large audiences and there
were cheerful predictions that he would carry every
Western State, with the possible exception of Missouri and
Kansas. As Speaker Clark did not bulge from Washington his
chances seemed to be small. In the sequel, however, the speaker
came out ahead in most of the States having open primaries and
secured the popular majority. Governor Wilson is now on the
first of a series of speaking tours as the Democratic candidate
and his progress will be watched with great interest as COM
pared with the tour that Roosevelt is now completing in the
far Western States. If Governor Wilson is greeted with as
much genuine fervor as his Progressive rival has met his chances
for election will indeed be good.
