received at Cape May
Wildwood and Burlington,
where he spoke. but ne declared he
was not seeking the SURFACES OF the
people in his own behalf. but for two
the Democratic Legisia-
ture and a Democratic United states
Senator to assist the cause OF the
party in the nation
Wants No Pedestal.
Il am not standing alone. ne SAID
cratic party; / cannot. as President or
as Governor. do anything but what
great bodies Of free men assist me TO
do. and il they are Wilson men in Cape
Nav County they Will vote the Demo
cratic ticket. II you cannot vote ior
these gentlemen for the Legislature
do not vote for me. ] am not a canci-
date for a pedestal l am not Can
didate to be set UP in lonely dignity.
TO suffer the intolerable disappointment
of being left alone. unable 10 90 the
great things which the American peo-
pie will expect OF me. II they honor
me- with taeir SUFFRAGE II you cannot
back me up DO not pat me up al Dy
myself and then desert me. II you be-
lieve IN me. make II possible for me TO
do something. No man in a great
Commonwealth or In a great nation can
do anything by himself except talk, and
IL my voice comes back to me ! snail
continue to talk. But talking Ii not
business unless 1t means that men are
going TO be drawn together by the
public discussion OF great questions
into a common. cooperative. Irresist-
ibIe force.
DO not elect me captain unless you
are going to give me team For II
I am captain and either OF these Re-
publican scrub teams Is put alongside
OF me. 7 cannot do anything at all
What leave with yo,. therefore is this
Il is a team or aothiEg-
Is that a bargain You will go back
on me or You will go back on your
Governor If you vote for me and do
not give me a team Therefore my
bargain. my exhortation, to you to-day
is: go to the polls and vote by this
rule-either give him a team or vote
for somebody else
Only Ose Orkspi.stBsa.
1T is not possible in the next two
years or the next four years fjr either
branch of the Republican party to get
such strength or such extended organ
ization or so many men in ONCE as to
control the several branches Of the Fed
eral government. There IL only one
organization big en,ugh. united
enough. clear enough In purpose, to
do that and that is the Democratic
organization. and what do you think
Of the Democratic organization?
"You have seen a sample Of its SER
vice in the State Of New Jersey. Has
IL dealt candidly with you? Has il
tried to carry out the things that
you voted fer again and again before
you voted for II in 1910? The Demo-
cratic party did not have anything
new to offer YOU in 1919. II had only
those things that both parties had
beer promising you for generation
Amos: 5vs TIE difference was that
you voted for the Democrats in 1910.
and they carried out the program
which you had voted for in other in
stances ard commanded the Ecp1bii-
can party TO carry out and they had
rot carried out. Tia; Is the plain
record Of the State. The Democratic
party in New Jersey has served you
according &c its word. and has redeem
o! every promise thar .; made.
Vow. IL happens tina: the Demo-
cratic party Ia tie nation is led by
the same man who led the Democrats
in New jersey. and ! am not aware
Of having changed my point Of view
or my purposes IN the slightest de-
gree"
