Elsewhere in this issue is printed
the address Of acceptance of Governor
Wilson of the Democratic nomination
for president. 1t was delivered yes
terday afternoon at Sea Girt with
representatives from every state in
the Union present.
The address dwelt largely with
a plea for the peoples cause.
which, as the Governor defines it, is
an unentangled government, a govern
ment that cannot be. used for private
purposes, either in the field of busi-
ness or in the field of politics; a
government that will not tolerate the
use of the organization of great
party to serve the personal aims and
ambitions of any individual, and that
will not permit legislation to be en-
ployed to further any private in
terests says the Philadelphia Ledger
independently.
With this conception of the peo-
pies cause no possible exception can
he taken, and Governor Wilson'S ut
terances will deepen the good impress
sion he has already made upon the
minds and hearts of the American
people The time may come during
the campaign, if the Roosevelt candi-
dacy should prove to be greater
menace to the stability and safety of
our fundamental governmental insti-
tutions than now seems possible, when
the sane citizenhip and sound patriot
ism of the United States, entirely
without regard to present party divi-
sions, will find it to be the paramount
duty to join in the support of Wilson.
The crisis is one that lifts the respon-
sibility of the patriotic citizen. above
any narrow lines of partisanship or of
personal preference, and if the safety
of the Republic demands, if the secur-
ity Of the Constitution requires, the
good sense of the country can be de-
pended upon to make a wise and
nrudent choice"

didate for denomination The an
nouncement came as a surprise, as
Congressman Wood had been so sue
cessful as a representative at Wash
ington that it was thought he would
run for another term. AS yet there
has been no discussion of the question
of a candidate to succeed him. The
Democratic candidate will be former
Assemblyman George S. LoMonte, Of
Somerset and there is talk that AS.
semblynlan John E. Gill, of this city,
will be the progressive candidate

1t is said that the followers of for
nler Postmaster Frank Wanser; of
Vineland, are out for State Senator
Griffith W. Lewis, of Burlington Coun-
ty, for the Republican nomination for
congress in the second district. Sena-
tor Lewis announced his candidacy
some time ago. Two year ago Frank
Wanser was turned down by Con-
gressman John j Gardner for re
appointment as postmaster of Vine
land, and it is said this accounts for
the Wanserites being opposed to Con-
gresham Gardner for nomination
Wanser is the son of Colonel Jarvis
Wanser, who formerly was comman-
dant of the Soldiers Home at Vineland
and was the Republican boss of the
town.
The fact that only 1887 candidates
for the position of election officers
passed the civil service test and be-
came eligible for appointment, has
led to a considerable number of vacan-
cies in some of the counties. In these
cases the vacancies will be filled by
the county judges making the selec-
tion from men nominated by the coun-
ty chairman and certifying their selec-
tion to the county board of elections,
the county board will then make the
appointments. This.is according to the
provisions of the Geran act
