Woodrow Wilson is not the candi-
date for the big high tariff-fostered
corporations, so they will contribute
nothing toward the necessary ex-
penses of his campaign.
Should they offer to contribute, he
would refuse their money and send II
bcak.
The corporations do not want a
president who is particular about
where campaign contributions come
from.
Therefore, they do not want Wood
row Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson is the candidate
of progress, which means that he
stands for fair play and square deal
fer all; special privileges for none.
The people must supply the Will
son campaign fund with their dollars
fifty-cent pieces, or whatever they can
afford to give.
You are urged to contribute, NJ
matter what the amount.

column the names and amounts given

Lively Debate in Senate

Washington. May 27-The Kilkenny cats, the uneven distribution of wealth, the latter as represented by Andrew Car negie, and Colonel Roosevelt's prospects of nomination, were mingled in a lively debate in the Senate today over MT. Hitchcock's resolution, calling for all in- the corporation tax returns. The re- turns, he said encouraged disposition toward imperialism, made more evident the disparity of wealth, had increased the lists of millionaires, and shown that pro- teeted interests had revenue of A billion dollars year over legitimate profits.
 Iron and steel manufacturers, MT Hitch cock declared were alone collecting s20o,- QUO. GOO more than their due. He referred to Andrew Carnegie as an example of an uneven distribution of wealth.
 Senator John Sharp Williams interjeeted that 1t was necessary for the democratic party to prepare to take charge of public affairs.
 After the two Kilkenny cats get through" said he, there won't be any republican party left and the democratic party will go in by default" He pre- dicted the nomination of Mir. Roosevelt, who he said was dissatisfied, "because he could not be both former president and president at the same time"
 The democrats are trembling in their very boots, for fear the former president will be nominated" retorted Senator Gal finger, who added that he would do all he could to prevent MT. Roosevelt's nom- inatlon.

 It was another day of big crowds and quick fire speeches. Colonel Roose- velt was late in reaching his train on leaving New York this morning, with the result that railroad schedules were disarranged for the rest of the day, and he did not reach Hoboken until long past the hour set.
 The rally In Princeton was invested with added interest because of the ac- ton of President Hibben of Princeton in stating that Alexander Hall might be used for the meeting provided Col onel Roosevelt refrained from attack ing President Taft. The colonel chose to speak elsewhere and made his ad dress to a crowd of students and townsfolk from the balcony of a hotel. He talked in a friendly, confidential way to the students with never ref erence to the President.

 ident of the United States in which assurances were given that action of the American government was merely measure of precaution and entirely disassociated from any question of in tervention To this President Gomez
 tonight replied as follows.
 q am exceedingly grateful for your cablegram, which is appeasing to Cuban patriotism, because of the assurance that the action of the government un- der your worthy presidency is limited to the observation of events in order to be ready should it be necessary to protect the lives and property of Amer lean citizens and morally to support the Cuban government without having to land American forces on our ter ritory unless both governments agree upon such an extreme necessity. Tt clearly shows the sincerity of the government and. the people of the United States as well as noble and friendly sentiments toward the govern ment and people of Cuba, who are de- termined to re-establish as soon as possible public peace, for which pur- chase they will not hesitate, no matter what sacrifices circumstances may im- pose upon them"
 The receipt of President Taft s' message declaring that the naval concentration at Key West and the dispatch of gunboats to Cuban waters were merely precaution- ary and in no way indicative of inten- ton to intervene was a source of much qualification to the Cuban government. President Gomez summoned the members of his cabinet and acquainted them with the text of the message, immediately drafting reply eulogistic of the attitude of the American President and people. The impression is general that the re- moval of the fear of the intervention will greatly strengthen popular support of the government. The newspapers express ex- treme qualification at the attitude of the Washington government.
 The settlement of the longshoremen' g strike has had the excellent effect of removing the danger of possible disorders in the city and assuring the government constant flow of resources from GUS toms receipts.

Ws assumed this great task, not for selfish ends, not for self aggrandizement or political mastery, but rather for the common benefit of the western world and of all mankind. To bring about results of the greatest good to all, the canal should be, and I am confident will be, the instrument of pro- ducing closer sympathy, a broader con- fidercs, and a greater degree of prac- tical and helpful correlation of the west ern nations in the several but identic ac- complishment of self-development."
 De Cana Cheered
 The Brazilian ambassador, who spoke directly after Secretary Knox was greeted with cheers, but startled the assemblage with a strong pro- test at the action of the United States government in recently seizing nearly a million bags of coffee belonging to the so-called Brazilian coffee trust be- cause of alleged violation of the anti- trust laws.
 At the conclusion of a lengthy ad- dress Ambassador De Cana declared his hope for a new era in commercial relations with the United States had received heavy blow when this coun- try indorsed the somewhat arbitrary and quite revolutionary doctrine of paying for other peoples merchandise not the price they asked for it but the price the United States, I mean the American merchants, want to pay for 1t. It Is a brand new doctrine and the United States seems disposed to en- force 1t even to the sacrifice of long standing international friendship. In their eagerness to establish their right to meddle with the property of a for eign state certain officials of this gov ernment went so far as to proclaim before an American court of justice the forfeiture of the sovereignty of that foreign state and this with an un- thoughtfulness of the consideration due a friendly state which comes within the boundaries of international dis courtesy.
