 At this moment Joseph P. Tumully, the governors secretary, announced the forty-third ballot.
 "Six hundred and two for you. gov ernor." he said 'It looks like busl. ness." the governor answered.

SKETCH OF WILSON'S LIFE

That project which did not succeed was to establish the quad" system for undergraduates. It was resented by the alumni as an attack on the student club and the opposition became so strong that the president was asked i by the board of trustees to withdraw his proposal.
 Preceptional Plan Succeeds.
 The successful innovation was the preceptional ystem. That called for tthe appointment O. 90 teachers or pre- ceptors to be added to the faculty at an increased cost to the university of S100,0O0 a year But the alumni SO 1 thoroughly approved the plan that they told the president to go ahead and as- sured him that the money, for the salar Yies would be forthcoming.
 The plan succeeded. This precepto- rial system by which each student gets the benefit of personal contact with a teacher. Is referred to by the presidents admirers as the best thing he had done in the field eff education.
 When Mir. Wilson. after % years of service as an educator, resigned tho presidency of Princeton fin 1910. to &C., cept the nomination for governor of 1 New Jersey there was a general ten dency to look askanCe at the school master in politics" However he was carried into office on the radical anti Republican wave that swept so many states
 Mir. Wilson was elected by plurality of 49,000 votes. He was the first Demo cratic governor in Now Jersey for 16 years. This brought the former col 1 lege president prominently into na- tional politics.
 What Platform Pledged.
 His platform pledged his party to enactment of workmen's compensa- tion act reform of election laws of the state. a corrupt practices act and public utilities commission bill. All these measures were written into the statute books of New Jersey during the first year of Governor Wilson's term. While his success in obtaining the passage of these measures served to bring him more prominently before the nation it was his fight to obtain the election of James F. Maritime to the United States senate to succeed Senator John Kean. which probably focused the most widespread a;ten- tion upon the New Jersey governor
 In his election speeches, Gov. VII son has given the pledge:
 fThe people of the state will be the boss the only boss
 When James Smith Jr., leader of the state machine" which nominated Gov. Wilson, let II be known after the election that he expected the senato- rial toga, tho governor espoused the cause of Mir. Maritime, the candidate chosen in the popular primary. Gov. Wilson won his fight.
 Of New Jerseys 2S delegates to Bal Itimore 24 were pledged to Wilson.

obtained at Baltimore could, after all, be obtained only by the support of men like Taggart in Indiana and MT. Sulli- van of Illinois, and the success of the candidate at the polls without regard to his personality would be condition ed, not only upon the hearty support of Mir. Taggart and Mir. Sullivan and their colleagues, but would, also, be conditioned upon those men in carry ing their several state tickets and in perpetuating themselves in control of the Demoratic party

 where he was baptized as Thomas Woodrow Wilson. He dropped the Thomas about the time he accepted his l first book.
 | MT. Wilson cannot, like many an of 1 lice seeker, appeal to the sentimental ity of the public by an account of a self-made mans rise from poverty His
 father and grandfather were educat-
 ed men, prominent in their communi- | ,ies and, though not rich, were able to give the aspiring young scholars liber- al education.
 It was not toward scholarship, how
 ever, that his earliest pmbtions led him. While in college he resolved to
 become a public man. To that end he
 studied law and hung out his shingle. But his legal practice was not lucra- tive, and after IS months of it, he gave it up and with it, for years to come, his desire for office.
 HIS Idtilti, iilC lAVN' JOSNpi nus SiS' Wilson, moved to Georgia when Wood
 row was two years old and later preached in various churches in North
 and South Carolina.
 Entered College at 17.
 Young Wilson entered Davidson col lege at the age of r. After two years, he entered Princeton, from which he
 was graduated in 1879. He then stud jed law in the University of Virginia, receiving the degree Of bachelor of
 laws in 1882. He received the degree
 of bachelor of philosophy from Johns
 Hopkins university in 1886, that of doctor of laws from Wake Forest uni yersity, North Carolina. in 1887, and
 that of doctor of literature from Yale
 university at it's bi-centennial eelebra-
 tion Professor Wilson occupied the
 position of adjunct professor of his
 tory in Bryn Mawr college and after
 ward was professor of history and DO litcal reformcry at West Ryan univer-
 sity. In 1890 he became professor of
 Jurisprudence and political reformery
 at Princeton. In 1895, the title of his
 chair was changed to that of professor
 If Jurisprudence.
 Professor Wilson became the thir- 5eenth in the roll of presidents of Princeton in 1902, and the first layman
 to hold this office, all his prcdeces- sors having been Presbyterian clergy men He is, however, ruling elder in the Second Presbyterian church Of
 Princeton. As professor. he was
 very popular and his elective classes always were among the largest. During his administration at Prince

 he not only failed but alienated the
 support of large body of alumni, of

to argue for their own method of
propagation. But of late years many
eminent rosarians have pronounced
themselves in favor of budded plants,
A prominent firm of rose-growers at
Rochester, N. Y, that is known the
world over for the excellence of its
roses, -concretely expressed this con-
viction as follows:
We find many varieties of roses
grown on this stock (Manetti) adapt
themselves to a greater range of eli
mate and soil, bloom more profusely,
endure better the heat of the summer
and make far stronger plants than If
grown from their own roots. Many
object to budded roses on account of
the suckers they sometimes throw
out; but if proper attention is paid to
the planting, this will rarely be an
annoyance. Budded roses should be
planted sufficiently deep, so that the
junction of the bud with the stock is
from two to three inches below the
surface of the earth. If despite this
precaution, a wild shoot should hap
and foliage of the stock are so distinct
that it is readily recognized by the
most inexperienced amateur and is
easily removed.
Another authority on this subject
goes even further and contends that
many fine varieties of the queenly
flower are utterly worthless unless
they are budded My own experience
comedies with that referred to above.
Moreover, I found that 1t is possible,
as rule, to replace budded roses
more cheaply than those grown on
their own roots, which Is another
point in their favor, particularly in
localities where many roses are liable
to be winter-killed.
Roses may be grown to perfection
In ordinary garden soil, provided they
are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca-
ton, away from the roots of large
trees, for these will absorb all the life
sustaining nutrition of the soil, where
as young trees and dwarf shrubbery
do no harm. If the soil Is naturally
poor, however, it is advisable to lay a
substantial foundation for future good
results, by substituting a quantity of
loan, sand and fertilizer in the fol-
lowing proportions:
To each wheelbarrOw load of loan
which, by the way, may be readily
obtained under the sod of the field or
by the roadside-add one-third of its
bulk of well-rotted stable manure and
some sand, If that constituent should
be lacking.

oughly mixed by being spaded to

Rosa, as she was termed by Dean
Hole, the man who had roses in his

roots penetrate deeply when they have
chance, but it should be remem-

stagnant soil, hence good drainage is
essential.
The question naturally presents It.
