sor of New Jersey: What Manner Of
Man Is This?'
"At the present time the lacorlhsA
men of this country are being asfso
by Mr.. Woodrow Wilson to give hin
their support; and before doing 50
would e well to consider the lid
of man he is.
,oThere was a time when Mr.. WI son
was glad to receive the support and
assistance Of Hon. James Smith, H..
of New Jersey. and his offense !
offenses they were, with which M.
Wilson now charges him, were With
out protest from Wilson. but he was
not then governor of the State or can-t
didate for the presidency of the
United : States. Mr.. Smith expended
none and time in the interest of ar.
Wilson, and was mainly responsible
for his elevation and success in pof-
ties. Now. with base ingratitude. he
assails Smith. The same is true, likes

of the workingman. advocating a pro-
teetive tariff, and Mr.. Wilson knew
this in 1910. when he was accepting
all kinds of assistance from him. We

the people and their servant. yet, on
the same day, without warrant or au-
thority of law, thrust into prison siX-
teen of the representatives of the
people. and did it all in the name or

was the stepping-stone whereby he
made himself emperor by overthrow

their liberties and ~denouncing former
friends. and for the crime of 1851 per-
retrated by him he receivd his pun
ishment at Sedan in 1871. and there's
after died exiled. disgraced and 3b-
horred by all true lovers of liberty.
