meeting IL was unanimously voted TO go
in for n large Increase In membership
and several plans were discussed N was
early concluded that some concessions
must be made to new members. In order
10 make the campaign short and decisive.
Two plans for reduction OF admission
fees and dues were presented TO the hoard
OF governors. which IN turn presented the
question 10 tho membership at large. Al
A big MONDAY meeting II was voted TO
reduce the admission feet 10 s25 for resi-
dent membership for 81 period OF sixty
days, beginning April l. and to return
the dues To $40 per quarter provided a
total OF 1860 resident and 80 non resident
memberships was reached The club
then had 9i0 resident and 100 non-resi
dent members-a total OF 1860. II also
WIS voted Mt this meeting To permanently
reduce the nom resident admission fee 10
$40 and the monthly dues to 81 30.
Then, with the help OF President Arm

Democrats see the collapse of the

the withdrawal of support by George
Harvey. of Harper's Weekly, and the
statement of Colonel Henry Watterson,
of the Courier-Journal. The sentiment
in the State is crystallized last night
by Mayor James Dahlman, who says
THE end of the Woodrow Wilson
Presidential boom has come. The West
will never stand for Wilson, since he
has shown himself such a narrow in
CRATE. He is the example OF a school
cache in politics, the idealist in bust
ness. Sensible men will think twice
before they give him their support. He

Wilson Blundered,'
Say Penna. Leaders

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Jan. 1S.-GoV-
ernor Woodrow Wilson's Willingness u
sacrifice the friendship of Colonel
George Harvey, of Harper's Weekly
in his ambition to become the nominee
for President on the Democratic ticket
reacted among his following of friends
here. Some of those who were loudest
in his praise have now turned upon
him and declare that in sacrificing
friends he has gone the limit in a mad
political race.
James Fl. Shea, a Democratic leader
who will hav considerable to say in
the selection of national delegates and
who was a warm friend of Wilson's,
yesterday declared: 81 cannot see what
Governor Wilson means in throwing
owe the support of a publication like
Harper's. Surely it could not be in his
way and Colonel Harvey was not a load
about his neck. This Is the most ser
ious blunder Governor Wilson a yet
made and it is bound to hurt his
chances of becoming the Presidential
nominee. That he should refuse to ac-
cept h services of an old friend like
Colonel Harvey, a man who has made
him politically, is the height of absurd
ity to me. His friends are naturally
disappointed that he should sacrifice
friendship of years standing to gain a
grip on the nomination. 1t is this
thought that hurts
Mayor John V. Kosek. who has been
a party leader for the last SIX years,
had the following to say concerning the
act of Governor Wilson: 81 always
found it the proper thing to stand by
friends.
Governor Wilson should dc the same
thing, even though it meant his undo
ins. If his friends have made him, he
-s~hessltEand with them. Colonel Hars
vey was certainly his maker POLITICAL
ly and there can be no excuse for turn
ing down such friendship. Ingrati-
tude surely is not an asset in a po-
litical wa and it is no qualification
for an ideal President. Governor Will
son has seriously blundered and it will
hurt him with his friends not only
here, but those who have put their
shoulders to the wheel and carried him
along in the race for the nomination.

In9ratitude Of Gov. Wilson
Shown by His Deserti0ns

with a great shout of reputation
showed him the door.
Fails to Remember Friends.
In this Mr.. Wilson but acted upon
his own mugwump ideals. The mug
wump. who is a Pharisee, teaches that
no one not a demasogue aver remem,
bers his friends.
Mr.. Wilson knew Mr.. Smith had
been his friend; had, brick by brick
and stone by stone, builded him into
that Governorship, and yet, disregard
ing every thought of friendship, every
memory of what he owed, Mr. Wilson
incontinently showed Mr.. Smith the
door. Mr.. Harvey should have fore
seen that Smith door-showing what
to happen to his friend.
The mental moral structure of Mr..
Wilson, TO say the least, must be pc
culiar. He denounces the recall, the
initiative and the referendum as be-
comes the president Of a conservative
college. Bitten of a desire to become
the President of a radical people he
declares for the recall, the referendum
n the initiative and forgets all that
he taught.

POSSE In LOCOMOTIVE
CATCHES HIGHWAYMAN.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Jan. B.--Rail-
readers It Pittston yesterday took a
locomotive and captured a highway
nan who was cornered and given the
alternative of surrendering, jumping
into the river or meeting death on the
rail.
Lewis Carr was the highwayman.
With revolver and mask he EN-
deavored to relieve Thomas Shally, d
~railroader. of his money while return
ing from york. Shally is a powerful
man and with a we'll directed blow
brought Carr to the ground and ran to
safety.
Carr started across a railroad bridge.
Before he could reach the end the To-
connective was upon it. The engine
slowed down and Carr crept to the
side. There was not room for him
and the engine n he decided to sur
render.
Carr was taken back to the railroad
yards, where a mob soon formed and
threatened to lynch him, but he was
hustled TO the Pittston lookup.

JERSEY FARMERS MEET;
PAST YEAR PROSPEROUS.

TRENTON, Jan. ~1s.-Farmers from
many parts of the State assembled
at the State House yesterday to attend
the thirty-nintb annual meeting of the
New Jersey State Board of Agriculture,
which began a three-day session yes
terday. The preliminary session was
devoted to calling the roll of delegates
and hearing reports OF committees and
officers.
In the report of Secretary Franklin
Dye it was shown that Notwithstanding
the ~unfavorable weather last year the
total yield of the farms of the State
exceeded that of the previous year by
nearly $4,000, 900. In 1910 the yield was
estimated at $63, S11, 500, while last year
ii reached a total of $67. 715, s72. The in
crease was due to the fact thai the
higher prices more Than made up for

county, where it was thought the

the Roosevelt men predict with GER
tainty that Roosevelt will be the choice
of this State when ii to a show
down.
OF interest IN this connection is the
conversation held between Colonel
Roosevelt and Assemblyman Theodore
L. Bierck, of Hudson county, recently.
Mr.. Bierck says that in answer to his
question whether the colonel would
be a candidate. Colonel Roosevelt
asked him what he would do as q loyal
Republican II he found hat he was
his party's choice. When Mr.. Bierok
answered hat he would feel it his
duty to accept the nomination under
the circumstances, Mr.. Roosevelt
laughed and did not say anything fur
Mr.. Bierck regards this as an
indication that the former President
would consent to be a candidate If
chosen by a majority of his party.
