Princeton. n. J., Nov. 7.--Just be-
cause Woodrow Wilson is the Presi-
dent-elec of the United States he does
not, he asserts, intend to retire from
the fight he has waged for two years
for program of progressive legisla-
ton in New Jersey Mr.. Wilson said,
today, he would stay on the job at
Trenton" until he had carried out his
reforms but with Democratic Legis-
lature behind him this is likely to be
smooth process when the Legislature
convenes, Jan. l.
Though campaigning vigorously for
the Presidency, Governor Wilson con-
centrated earnest appeals in New Jer-
sey. Nothing gives him more satisfac-
ton than the fact that not only Is
New Jersey to be represented by two
Democrats in the United States Sem
ate. but for the first time in his adj
ministration as governor, both houses
of the Legislature will be Democratic.
A year ago he stumped the state to
obtain a Democratic Legislature but
was beaten.
The President elect admitted, today,
that the program of reform he had
in mind would be advanced by the fact
that as the future Executive OF the
country, nationwide attention prob
ably would be attracted by his policy
in the New Jersey Legislature
whatever we do in New Jersey"
| he said, will have the force of the
whole country behind it,
The Governor has not announced his
program for the next session of the
Legislature. but IT is likely that With

ONLY FIVE DISTRICTS LEFT.
Turkish Domain Is Much Smaller
Part of These Reported Captured.

London. Nov. 7.-Only five little dis
tricts now remain in the possession of
Turkey out of vast territory in Eu-
rope. which she has ruled for CEN
turtles. Even these five districts, COM
prising Constantinople. Adrianople,
SaIoniki, Monastir and Scutari, are
seriously menaced.
1t is reported that the great strong
hold of Saloniki has been evacuated
and that the Turkish army stationed
in the city has been withdrawn but
no confirmation of this has yet been
received. Which direction the retreat
ing army is supposed to have taken
was not mentioned in the report but
if Il is true that the Turks have
abandoned the city they must sooner
or later come into contact with one

is said to have been occupied by the
allied Balkan troops but this report
too, lacks confirmation.
Between the Bulgarian army and
Constantinople now stand only the
Tchatalja forts, which are held by an
army that has suffered series OF
crushing defeats and that has beer

last line of defence are reported al

Fall OF Adrianople
Being Suppressed?

London. Nov. S.--The correspondent
of the Daily Mail sends the following
from Bucharest:
II have just arrived from Sofia and
have good grounds for believing that
Adrianople has fallen, buts Bulgaria Is

should intervene before the capture of
Constantinople.
Extraordinary endeavors have been
made, since Monday. 10 prevent news

Wilson Will Stick to Job
OF Reform in New Jersey.

a short time, as soon as he takes a
brief vacation, he will call confer
ence of state leaders and legislative
program will be mapped out. The
Democratic state platform recon-
mends a constitutional convention.
1t is known that the Governor wants
to have the corporation laws OF the
state revised. The reform in this con-
nection, he declares. he never had an
opportunity of putting through be-
cause the Legislature was not with
him.
1t is reported also that the Cover

the state given the power to remove

by the Anti-Vice League of the state.
Governor Wilson Iamented the fact
that the statutes gave him no power
to compel the enforcement OF the state
laws in that connection. He told those
who made the complaint that 1t was
impossible to correct such local con-
ditions because he did not hold even
the potential power OF removal.

ARMIES RESTING.

London Nov. 1.-THE past "a hours
have brought little news of Importance
frem the seat of war. The report
that :Saloniki has been evacuated is
premature and a similar report con-
corning Monastir still is unconflrmed.
There is not authentic news of the
alleged defeat of the Turks before
Tchatalja. On the contrary, a Con-
stantinople dispatch sets forth the
Turkish claim, that there are no Bull
garians before Tehatalja, and that
both armies are resting The Turkish
reports regarding the progress of the
war, however, have been SO consist
emily misleading as to have little
value.
The present lull in news may mean
that some important action is proceed
ing. In the meantime diplomatic eff
forts to end the war are making no
progress. Everything tends to show
that almost irreconcilahle antagonism
will arise over the alteration of
Turkish territory. Seryia claims as her
share large part of Albania, includ-
ing the Adriatie ports of Durazzo,
Alessio and Sangiovanni Di Medua.
According to the Servian premier's
statement to the Paris Temps, the al
lies desire the partition of European
Turkey, leaving the fate of Constan-
tiHople To the decision of the Powers.
According to reports current in Berlin
the intention of the allies is to divide
Albania between Servia and Greece.
but an agreement already exists be-
tween Austria and Italy. which would
he supported by Germany, guarantee
ing the integrity and independence of
Albania and the Triple Alliance is de-
termined to prevent Servia at all costs
from reaching the Adriatie sea. 1t is
even asserted that the Triple Alliance
| Ifas agreed to make Albania independ-
ent with the Duke of the Ahruzzi as
King.
Another important meeting occurred
at Bucharest today, between the Rou-
lnanian premier and the Russian and
Austrian ministers 1t is reported that
the Poweds will, tomorrow, commu-
nicate to the Balkan states Turkey S

Servia is quite willing to favor eco

saying that the Balkan allies desired
Turkey to treat directly with them

We frequently see wagons
loaded with six bales of cotton
drawn by a double team on the
streets. These wagons come
from points along the good roads.
It would be impossible to draw
such loads any distance over an
average hill county road. While
six bales of cotton is not consid-
cred much load in some sections,
yet it is more than a load for
mud roads. The saving of time
is one great item in having good
roads, the other being the saving
of the team from the Eunusual
hardships which they are fre-
quently required to undergo In
the winter season two bales of
cotton is the average load
brought to town and during last
winter it was imI ossible to draw
an empty wagon over some roads

that could be hitched to it.
