WILSON TO SPEAK
AGAINST SMITH
Fight Over New Jersey Senatorship
Likely to Be Warm-No
Dates Announced.
ARE WORRYING OVER DIX

Seagirt. y. J., Sept. Gov. Woodrow
Wilson to-day expressed himself as
pleased with the Progressive party S
nomination of Oscar Stratus for Governor
of New York State. Commenting on II.
the Democratic Presidential candidate
said:
They have put out an admirable
ticket and an admirable platform. Mr..
Stratus nomination is admirable. 1t puts
us on our mettle.
DO YOU mean that shows the necessity
of nominating progressives on the Demo-
cratic tickets in all States?
THAT goes without saying" he re-
piled.
Gov. Wilson to-day received a contribu-
ton of 81 each from T. o. Gillum ana his
nine SONG, who compose baseball team
in Madison Mills. Va
The Governor has not arranged the
dates upor which he will speak in the
primary fight for United States Senator
from New Jersey aguins. James Smith.
Friends have within ne last few days
told Gov. Wilson that Tammany Han
proposes TO nominate Dix, and that II
the plan is carried out Dix will be beaten
by lnO. coo, and that Wilson's plurality In
the State will be considerably lowered.
MrAdoo SugEe<tcd.
Gov. Wilson'S friends would like to
see William c. McAdoO nominated. They
are merely putting him forth. however,
as the type OF man they want. and as
a matter of fact. any one of half a
dozen good men who could be named
would be satisfactory 10 them.
One of Gov Wilson's friends here Of
fcred to-day to bet 10 to that Dix viii
not be renominated; that II Leader Muir
ply attempts 10 force his nomination
the convention will get away from him.
The gentleman in question. however, has
no evidence on which to base his state
rnent. The wish was father to the
thought.
Gov Wilson is preparing some hot
shot to fire at ex-senator James Smith.
ir who has entered the race for United
States Senator from New Jersey against
three of the Governors friends. The
Governor has not decided when he will
GsIiyer his speeches against Smith
Asked where he would probably speak,
he replied: That will depend wholly on
circumstances"
The speech that the Governor is to de-
liver at the New York Press Club on
Monday night will be an analysis of
the three platforms and candidates for
the Presidency, with an argument
showing why the Democratic nominee is
best equipped to carry out progressive
programme.

WILLIAM WENT TO HOSPITAL.
Started Out to Buy shoes, but Stop.
ped for Lemonade.

William Hamilton, colored, was warm
when he left his home at I22 Temple
Court Northwest, last night. and started
downtown to buy a pair of shoes. In
fact, the humidity was so great that or
binary beverages did not appeal to him
and he stopped at the lemonade stand
Of Steve Chanconas, in Pennsylvania
Avenue. between Sixth and Seventh
Streets Northwest, and ordere a glass.
But the lemonade didn't appeal to Will
lam, and he complained to Steve. Steve
prides himself on his lemonade, and he
told William he didn't know good lem
onade when ne saw ii. William picked
up a lemon and handed 1t to Steve.
Donna you banda me da lem, YOU
black man. said Steve. An argument
followed. William swung and Steve
landed a lemon squeezer between Will
iam's eyes. William took the cuont.
and was removed to Emergency Hos
pital.

to the State Department yesterday that
the newspaper abuse directed at him. fol-

quiet In Havana, Mr.. Gibson stated.
This report Is accepted here as strong
indication of the effect which the activi-
ties OF President Gomez and the Cuban

the agitation against Mr.. Gibson and the

Gibson attack. officials to-day declined

sent 10 President Gomez in reply to the
communication from the Cuban Execu-
tive regarding the Gibson incident The

that in the early days Of Bull Mooseism
any general desertion would hurt.
Within the last day or two there were
evidences that the Standpatters also are
waiting upon news as coming from
Beverly to the effect that the President
would not regard IL as complimentary
to be beaten in Maine. Kinds and such
of the other Republican leaders as have
the courage to mention Tafts name
favorably. are doing what they can TO
help the Roosevelt men in the State
fight and tonight even some confident
claims Of a partial victory were put
forth by the Evening Express. which
is the Portland organ OF the temporary
allies.
Democrats Wide Awake.
Up to date the Democrats have been
more wide awake and aggressive than
the Republicans. Getting into power
after many years gave them heart and
courage. They took leaf out of the
Hale Republican book and made prepa-
rations to get out the vote. even though
1t cose something 10 do it. Formerly
the cause OF Democracy seemed so
hopeless that everybody ran when a
campaign treasurer went through the
highways crying Now is the time to
subscribe"
1t costs money to get out the vote
in Maine. The Maine farmer sits tight
on election day and waits till some
body drives up in a placarded convey
ance and takes him to the polls. II
no conveyance turns up he continues
to get in his hay or pile up the empty
tin cans in the back yard of his sum
mer clearinghouse No amount of
oratory can get him interested in n
campaign unless somebody Is inter
ested in him to the extent of driving
him into town TO discharge his civic
duty.
Get All Vehicles.
This year the Democrats have the
money TO do this. Horses and automo-
biles are ready to go for the voters. and
when tonight there was sudden awak-
en!ng of the Republicans they found that
most of the available conveyances were
hired. and had TO pick up all sorts of
rigs to use Monday In the interests of
Taft, Roosevelt, the State ticket, and
patriotism.
Counting by the returns of recent cleo
tiohs. the Republicans and Bull Moosers
together outnumber the Democrats. But
an alliance OF men who have left off
hating each other Tonight and intend to
return to that amusement on the morrow
is pretty shaky. Present indications are
that the fight is anybody's, with Demo-
Gratis having just a shade the best Of 1t.
owing to their possession Of the offices
and the inspiration that Offices bring.
The instant the last returns are in the
alliance will be resolved into its original
elements. For Presidential electors there
will be a three-cornered fight and a hot
one. The national value of Mondays
returns is, of course, its bearing on that
fight II united, the Bull Moosers and
the Republicans cannot affect the Demo-
cratic strength, divided they will make
but a feeble showing. and an over
whelming vote for Wilson and Marshall
will destroy Names value as one of the
oldest and most dependable cradles Of
Republicanism in the nation.
