opecl2i 10 Inc bulletin.
New York, Oct. 2i.--rhe biggest
factor in the existing campaign
equation is the business man. Ills
vote IL going to determine who Is TO
be the next president Of the United
States.
At the present time Gov. Wilson is
his favorite. He has lost faith, II
not in the sincerity, at least in the
efficiency of the Taft campaign He
can not swallow the doctrine of re-
call of judicial decisions promulgated
by the bull moose. IIfsaconversion
to Wilson has been brought about by
slow process of intellectual reason
ing, but is none the less sincere on
that account.
Gov. Wilson's faculty of reduc-
ing the most complex question OF
policy to concrete declarations Of
fact has revealed him to the busi-
ness men as broad-guaged, big
Drained statesman, who possesses an
efficient grasp upon current affairs
and activities.
There Is good deal OF similarity
between the present campaign and
the. campaign Of 1896, with the sit
uation eof parties reversed, from flle
standpoint Of the business man
Sixteen years ago the business
man deserted the Democratic party
because Of It's adherence to the doc
trine of l6 TO /. He voted for Me-
Kinley, There never has been a
shadow of doubt in the mind Of any
body familiar with the history of
that memorable battle that the bus
mess man turned the tide of victory
.oward Mckinley.
Throughout the intervening years
he has maintained all alliance of In
terest with .he Republican party
and has contributed more TO the sue
essivc defeats of Democracy than
any otnef single influence
Now Turns Away for Relief.
Now he is turning to the Demo-
cratic party for relief and succor and
his cooperation and support will en-
able Democracy to score a nation-
wide victory The business man Is
not talking about what he is going
to do. He is more tactiturn and re-
served than he ever was known to
he In past campaigns But he is
watchful and observant
Until very recently he was the un-
certain element in the campaign
Republicans and Bull
Moosers tried in vain to ascertain
what he proposed to do aud all three
claimed him as their own.
When he did begin 10 reveal what
was going on in his mind the Re-
publicans became panic stricken and
he Bull Moose speechless. 1t Is be-
coming clearer every day that Gov.
Wilson will recruit the greatest vote
that ever has been drawn from the
ranks Of business in the United
states.
He has himself to thank for this.
lis speeches upon business topics
have displayed breadth Of sympa-
thetic understanding that have ap-
oealed powerfully TO business men,
Vt has not been necessary for him to
resort TO tricks OF speech or sophis-
tries to win confdenc, and esteem.
The simple fact is that Gov. Will
son probably possesses a more inti-
nate knowledge of modern business
han any man who has run for the
presidency in n generation. He is
4 great business man himself.
His conduct of the business side of
Princeton was a remarkable demon
stration of his powers, and won him
the admiration of his board of trus-
tees, nearly all of whom are bnsi-
ness men OF nationwide distinction.
Business Efficiency az Governor.
When he became governor OF New
Jersey he instituted simple, efficient
business methods in the several de-
uartments Of the state government
and brought them UP to higher
state OF efficiency than they had
attained in the history of
the state.
He introduced economies. sabsti-
