WHY WILSON CARRIES THE STATE.

oTaHE great and overwhelming advantage of Governor Wilson
IL in the SHINY attended Democratic primaries in New Jr-
sy was the fact that his name alone was on the primary
ticket, other presidential candidates having courteously kept out
of the State. That reduced the opposition to Wilson to merely
a negaton. The preferential vote is wholly for Wilson for the
reason that the voter had no other candidate to vote for. That
feature of the primary is therefore an utter farce. It has been
well said that you cannot oppose a candidate for election with
out an opposition candidate, and yet that was successfully done
in Essex. Wilson had the immense advantage yesterday of not
being confronted by a personality. The contest therefore had to
be made on uninstructed delegates, free to vote for any candidate
in the national convection. An uninstructed delegate candidate
represents only an indefinite quantity. There is no name behind
him to appeal to the sentiment of the voter. With these advan-
tages Wilson had the enormous aid Of that provision inserted in
the Geran law DISTINGUISHING a multitude of Democratic voters
for the party primary, for it eliminated from the election the
elements that were strongest in opposition to him. AS Mr.. Taft
did not scrupe to have the federal service used in his favor,
Wilson made similar use of the executive patronage at his com
mand. Added to this was the command of the party machinery
through the State committee. When Speaker Clark withdrew
his name from the Democratic primary ticket it looked like a
hopeless task to make any Roadway against the Wilson candi-
dacy.. And yet in the face of all these formidable agencies,
seemingly impossible to overcome, Essex, true to her Democratic
traditions, sturdiy voted for delegates who will resolutely op-
pose the Wilson candidacy at Baltimore. If Speaker Clarks
name had been placed on the Democratic primary ticket, the
result of the State primary would have had an entirely different
aspect. Clarks. great popularity had been attested in many
other States, and his name would have been the needed ralying
point for the thousands of Democrats who either kept away
from the polls or indiferently voted for Wilson as the only can
didate in sight. All that Governor Wilson secured by this bar
rem victory is a q~uasi-state Endorsement, which will be taken at
not possess the unfair advantages that won for him the State
majority yesterday. His candidacy then will only help to fur
nish the setting for the scene In the nomination of the Demo
cratic standard-bearer in the presidential election.

FINISH OF THE TAFT CANDIDACY

Ier HE defeat of President Taft in the Republican primaries in
Ii New jersey yesterday completes his defeat for the nomi-
nation at Chicago. The most obstinate Taft adherent
must now admit that the vast preponderance of Republican
sentiment is against a second term for Taft and that his nomi-
nation at Chicago is hopeless. Mr.. Taft made his own appeal
to the Republican voters of New Jersey. He spent six days
In the State, visited nearly every part of it, made scores of
speeches in which he pleaded almost pathetically for support
and in every speech held up his principal opponent as unworthy
to hold the Office of President. Mr.. Taft prolonged his campaign
up to the very hour of the election. He was heard by many
thousands of people and they duly weighed his words. These
people also gave audience to Roosevelt. And their verdict is
that Mr.. Taft should not be nominated for another term. The
verdict carries with it condemnation of the Taft administration
policies and acts. 1t may be claimed that the Republican party
in New Jersey, as in other States where there has been a free
expression of the party judgment, has decided against Taft
rather than in favor of Roosevelt, but even with that view of the
result it loses none of its meaning and sting. The New Jersey
Republican primary yesterday was watched with the keenest
interest in all the States, and particularly by other State dele
gates credited to Taft and VIGOROUSLY wavering and uncertain
in their allegiance to hin 1t was the final test. The unin
structed delegates, always ready to climb upon the band-wagon
saw their cue in the New Jersey returns. Southern delegates
controlled by federal offoe-holders anxious to retain their jobs
could not fail TO interpret their duty at Chicago in the light of a
result that fairly cut all the ground from beneath the Taft can
didacy. And Manager McKiney's slate of delegates may as well
be wiped off. They are not there.

absented herself from school all one

its aromatic surface a what ap-

also volunteered that her brother, who

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CANDIDATE.

@S, S It is now inevitable that Roosevelt will be the choice of
IN the Chicago convention, it remains for the Democratic
national convention, one week later, to name a candidate
to oppose hin The fierce fires of opposition to Roosevelt that
famed in his path to the nomination cannot be extinguished in
November. While the Taft administration will be deserted by
many of its most prominent supporters, the President and his
friends smarting under defeat and bitter with resentment, will
give scant aid, if any, to the presidential candidate while de-
voting their energies to the election of Republican candidates for
Congress. The Democratic opportunity is the nomination of a
man whose candidacy will be responsive to the great popular
sentiment and not repelent to the great conservative class, a
candidate who can command the support of the great number of
Republicans who feel that they cannot vote for Roosevelt. The
best wisdom of the Democratic party must be in requisition now.

MEMORIAL DAY PREPARATION.

IT Y the turmoil of the presidential nominating primaries, which,
so far as New Jersey is concerned, was continued almost to
the very eve of Memorial Day, preparations for the annual
tribute to the nations dead have almost been lost sight of. There
has been little mention of Memorial Day in the daily press, but
the preparations for its celebration have been going ON in the
quiet of committee rooms and in the Grand Army posts. Never
tbeless the celebration will lack none of it's usual observance.
1t is proposed now to institute a nationwide fve1minute period
of rest and silence at noon, when all thought be turned to
memories of the men who fought and won the great war for
the preservation Of the Union. The idea is eminently appropri,
ate and worthy Of adoption.
