GOVERNOR SOON TO
RESUME CAMPAIGN
With Progressive Leader in Ac-
tive Control of Fight, Wilson
Will Take Stump.

PRINCETON, Oct. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson will resume next
Monday in Philadelphia his speaking
campaign, which was interrupted
when Colonel Roosevelt was shot.
The Governor said today that the
c%olonel's recovery seemed so certain
that he was now arranging dates for
the remainder of the campaign.
Governor Wilson will make two adj
dresses in Philadelphia Monday, Octo-
Der 2S, one arranged by an indepen-
dent Republican organization of Will
son supporters at the Academy of
Music, and the other at a Democratic
rally at Convention Hall. Tuesday
and Wednesday Of next week the
Governor said he expected to spend
in campaigning for the legislative
ticket through New Jersey, in the
lature would be Democratic, SO as to
assure the election of William
Hughes, who was chosen in the Dem
ocratic primaries recently for United
States senator.
The governor will speak on Thurs
day, October 81, at Madison Square
Garden, New York, and probably will
end his campaign with a trip into
New York State. However. plans are
as yet indefinite in this connection.
The nominee had not expected to
go back INTO the campaign so soon,
but the engagements for him to speak
in Philadelphia at the Academy OF
Music was made over two months
ago, he said, and he had pledged him.
self at that time to speak.
"An honorable escape" said the
governor, seemed impossible. More
over, Colonel Roosevelt's. strength is
returning so rapidly that he SHOULD
be back in the campaign again next
week. OF course, If his health should
go down again I would have to cancel
even the Philadelphia dates, but the
colonel has such a superb physique
that he will hardly have any i'll eff
fects now from his injury

WILSON SCORED
BY G. 0. P. CLUBS
State League Convention Or
ganizes-Former Gov. Stokes
Praises Taft Administration.

TRENTON, Oct. 25.-Speaking be-
fore the convention of State League
of Republican Clubs in the Trent
Theatre here, former Governor e,
c.. Stokes declared that Wilson was
talking about trusts serene and
calm" while a storm of criticisms was
almost engulfng him. He said that
there was no necessity for any man
to leave the ranks of the Republican
party to be a Progressive, as there is
far more progressiveness with the old
organization than the Bull Moose
leaders would ever conceive.
President Taft was pointed out by
Mr.. Stokes as the man who had
lone more for the nation than any
of the opposing candidates could ever
accomplish, and that he was the
only person able to cope with and
understand the trust conditions of
the country.
The convention elected officers of
the State league, passed resolutions,
which had some peppery paragraphs
on the course of Governor Wilson as
the chief executive and heard
speeches from Senator John D.
Prince. John Hays Hammond, War
rem G.. Harding, of Ohio; former Con-
gresham j. Adam Bede, of Mime
sofa, and former Governor Edward G.
Stokes.
State Chairman Edmund w. Wake
lee called the convention to order at
2:30 o'clock. "If anybody thinks that
the Republican party in New Jersey
is dead" he said, "let this convention
be the answer. We are gathered to
declare anew our allegiance to the
Republican party. We are going to
hear some fine speeches, but nothing
said here will speak as loudly as your
presence"
On a call for the election of officers
of a State league of Republican clubs
Senator Austen Colgate was nomi-
mated by Benjamin F. Jones, of Es-
sex, and chosen unanimously. The
other officers chosen are as follows:
First vice-president, Emerson l..
Richards, of Atlantic; second vice
president. William f. Groves. Of
Union; third vice-president, former
speaker Hall u Va DCt 6Cbs
secretaries, Donald Mclean, of
Union, and Edward T. Moore. of
Passaic; treasurer, Lloyd w. Grover.
of Mercer.
Former Governor Stokes said that
the campaign for social uplift began
fifty years ago with the founding of
the Republican party and that the
chickering's of a single convention
were not going to destroy that party.
1t is Drawer, he said, to work out re-
form from within than to destroy
from without. He said that the pros
perity which the country enjoyed for
many years came under a tariff which
the Democratic platform this year
declares to be unconstitutional.
Senator Wakelee read a letter from
President Taft in which he said that
the prosperity of New Jersey depend
ed upon the maintenance of the tariff
and that he could not believe that the
people Of New Jersey would assist in
opening their markets to destructive
competition. as that was what the
election of a Democratic President
and a Democratic Congress meant.

DETECTIVES HUNT FOR
"ORIGINAL WILSON MAN

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Chairman
McCombs has engaged detectives to
discover the Original Wilson man."
His identity has been n mystery
twelve years. Even Governor Wilson
cannot find him. In a letter to Demo-
cratic headquarters, however, Gov
ernor Wilson says:
1.-The original Wilson man is uniden-
tilted, but he lives in Indiana. In 1900
or early in 1901, a man signing only
his initials wrote a letter. to the In
dianapolis News proposing me for the
presidency. He was absolutely the
first Wilson man. About that time i
was talking to Richard Watson Gill
der, who said:
Wilson, | understand you are sug-
gested for the presidency"
THE presidency of WHAT" I asked.
1.-The presidency of the United
States he replied. ".And 1t was

A SUPPOSED WIDOWS SURPRISE.

IN TRENTON woman who had collected the insurance on
IN the life of her husband, killed, as supposed, by an
automobile three months ago, has been naturally star
tied by a letter from her spouse, who, with a grim sense Of
humor. writes from Iowa: 81 am the man that was killed, but
am enjoying life" Now the woman who suddenly discovers
that she is not a widow is wondering who it was that she buried
and her curiosity is shared by the insurance company. it
appears, however, that the insurance money was only enough 10
paw for the funeral. If the policy had been for any considerable
sum the company would probably have taken a little more time
before paying it, but life underwriters can afford to bury the
wrong man once in awhile without reducing dividends.

LA TOILETTE SILENT

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 25.-Asked, in
view of the fact that he had publicly
announced that he would not vote for
Roosevelt, Taft or Wilson, If he in
tended to vote for Debs, Socialist can
didate for President, Senator La Fol-
lette smiled and said that he did not
care to answer.
Leading La Toilette Progressives OF
Wisconsin believe that the senator
leans toward Wilson, but that he does
not consider Wilson'S experience as
governor of New Jersey broad enough
to make him a tried and bullet-proof
Progressive. Close students Of politics
believe that La Follette's statement
has added to the chances of Roosevelt

APPALLING OUTLOOK IN THE BALKANS.

IT'D EPORTED massacres of Greeks in the interior of Turkey
Inn by Moslem fanatics, Infatuated by the war, suggest hor-
rors that may be enacted as the war progresses. 1t was
the boast of a malignant and a turbaned Turk" that if the
Crescent should be driven out of Europe it would only be amid
fire and slaughter, leaving a desert behind to be repeopled.
There are millions of Greeks and other Christians in the Turkish
sroyinces. There are many Mohammedans living in the Chris
San states, who are now safe from harm. Massacre in Turkey
would arouse racial and religious fury in Christian states, too.
and the Balkans would be a great slaughterpen, with both
armies refusing quarter and slaughtering their prisoners. When
The Turks entered Europe it was amid sickening scenes. Multi
fudes of men, women and children were put to the sword. In
The course of centuries the Turk has not changed in his nature.

Raps Mayor Gregory.

hthRS
To the Editor of the Evening STAR.
In your issue of October % Mayor
Gregory, of East Orange. is quoted as
saying before the Columbian Club, of
that city, that ST pledged a business
and economical administration. and l
believe such has been given East Or
ange." His words are very nice; his
pledge al all right, but his belief is
a very different matter.
He did not accomplish anything
from a business standpoint. His ad-
ministration was a penny-wise and
pound-foolish one. Here are the facts:
The 49, 900 on the s%cavenger contract
is admissible; but 1t must be under
stood the service performed was not
as much as by the former contract.
Possibly the present service is suf-
ficient.
AS to the engineering department
saving, I think Mayor Gregory is try
ing to hand the voters a gold brick.
Now, let's see. In the preceding ad-
ministration the engineers salary
was $1,000 a year. When Mayor
Gregory assumed office he appointed
an engineer at a salary of 81, 500 a
year, n gave this engineer two as
sistants. This is not saving, is it?
He says $4,000 was saved for street
sprinkling. Very true, but he fails
to tell his audience that the former
administration caused more than fifty
miles Of roads to be oiled to save this
expense. Mr.. Cardwell did this trick.
and in no way or can Mr..
Gregory claim it as his doings.
Now as to the thirteen-point raise
in taxes. 1 am informed that the
raise will be greater than this. Why?
Because the city has not been given
the business and economical admin
%istration" so claimed by Mr.. Gregory.
The Board of Education has eaten up
a lot of money, which, in my judg-
ment of conditions, Mayor Gregory
should have saved. He, as mayor, is
head OF this board, and allowing such
extravaganza to go on looks to me
like playing politics of the old school.
which he claims he is against. The
basement of the new high school will
reveal a part of this waste

NEW YORK. Oct. Ex-senator Jo-

The situation had changed in an
astonishing manner since the at

THE RULE OF THE o

A HAT is known as the rule Of the road has again be-
WV come a vexed question, on account of the new law
in France requiring vehicles to keep to the left in
stead of the right. Thus France adopts the English custom.
The law in America and most other countries is Keep to the
right The automobile is responsible for the change in France.
The idea is that a driver on the right of the seat can see better
what clearance he has and so avoid a collision if he passes
another vehicle to the left and so has it on his right. On the
other hand, if the automobile is what is called a left-drive, as
many European and a few Americanbuilt cars are, the keep
totheright rule would seem safer for the very same reason.
But, again, when an automobile or other fast vehicle overtakes
n slower one going in the same way, it passes to the left, and
ID that case the ~right-driye seat gives the clearer outlook. 1t
IS a puzzling matter to settle, and a commission appointed to
devise a uniform rule of the road would probably find a division
of expert TESTIMONY.

MIGRATORY GAME BIRDS.

After long hearings, the senate con- mittee on forest reservation and the protection of game is to report favor ably on d bill for the protection of migratory and insectivorous birds in this country. This has been urged by sportsmen from all sections of the country. who have voiced the general feeling that such course is a neces- sary thing to prevent the extermina- tlon of wild geese, wild swans, brant, wild ducks. snipe. blower, woodcock, rail and wild pigeons. So great has been the reduction in numbers of many of these birds that hatcheries have been established with a view to re- stocking the localities they frequent. Such birds pass through many states in their migrations from south to north and back again, not remaining permanently anywhere. It is a sad commentary on the thoughtlessness of the American people that some of these birds, including the wood duck are on the verge of extinction.
 Representatives from forty states advocated federal protection, and it is the purpose of the bill to put the matter under the agriculture depart ment, but it will not affect any state laws concerning migratory birds, To carry out the purpose of the act, the regulations to be prepared by the department, an appropriation of S10,000 is recommended in the bill.

Having kept quiet under the flood of abuse and misrepresentation heaped upon him until the safety of the na- ton and his party was seriously i'm Eoiyed, President Taft did not mince matters in his Boston address. He hit straight out from the shoulder set Ing forth the truths and backing them up with tLe words of the x-president expressed ln writing. He showed the douhle-face Of the Colonel in such dealings as the Harvester trust, the twisting around Of his Toledo speech, inc reciprocity question. It was an unpleasant task which the president had to perform, and he did it within inc dignity Of his office and with re- ETeL He did not resort to yitupera- Jion. but with his customary wisdom, saney and thoroughly took up the charges made by Mr. Roosevelt and carefully analysed each separately and at the conclusion, the souudness of his statements was apparent It will prove a check on the wild run of the ex- president showing with what venom he had made his plea to the people to place him back in the presidency. He has not only mlsrepresented the pres idauts statements and actions. but he has used those misrepresentations to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. His fight has been made to win at any cost, and the president took pains to place the stamp of falsenood on the claims of the ex-president. and have the campaign fought out on facts. l. meant the severance of close ties of friendship with the only living ex- president but the situation demanded it Like other occasions, when per- sonal disiikes had to be put aside the president never wavered in the duty for right Roosevelt will squirm and dodge the issues. it is to be expected. but no one endowed with his charac- terisdcs ought ever to have the temer- ity to refer Go the square deaT again.

ROOSEVELT AND RECIPROCITY.

How CleVerly Roosevelt was playing the game of politics in his speeches te the western farmers is shown by his various attitudes on reciprocity He has made a complete flop on this i'm partant question after having been asked by the president to eriticise it, and had done so favorably. In doing so, the ex-president said: Tt seems to me that what you propose to do with Canada is admirable from every standpoint. I firmly believe in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons There is no question that he fully understood what he had passed upon and what he was saying in upholding it, To then say
 after his campaign had opened, that he had reviewed the matter and changed his mind because he thought it unjust to the American farmers, he opens himself up for double criticism. Either he didn't care what his advice was to the president and sighted the attention he was called to give 1t, or he failed to have the American farm CT in mind except when he wanted his vote, Under the circumstances. it looks like the latter, and especially so in view of the fact that he not only advised the president of his ad- miration for it, but congratulated the people of Grand Rapids, in February, 191L upon the prospects, of closer re- lations with Canada He hailed it with delight, to denounce it later. It is only natural that it should be put forward by President Taft, as the lib- eraliJy of trade relations with other countries brought about in the past two years, has been accomplished by President Taft and not Roosevelt.
