until young Wilson's college days at the
University of Virginia, when he had
grown to young manhood and frequently
visited Staunton. The chief attraction

young men OF the Virginia schools was

His liking for ships and things Of the
sea. which developed when he was a
small boy, made the port of Wilmington
very fascinating and he spent many hours
q week idling along the waterfront and
listening to the tales of sailor folk. II
was here for the first line in his life that
Wilson manifested q liking for social
events.
For q year he dreamed and brushed
up on Latin and Greek and in the fall OF
1878 he went to Princeton. He didn't

forty-first man in his class.
The members of the class OF 70 recall
Wilson as young man with u liking fer
political science and great interest in
things political who gave up as much Of
his time as he could spare from his studies
in fitting himself for the thing that he
seemed to like the best.
While at college Wilson learned short
hand and had the advantage over some OF
his classmates whom he engaged in debate
by making stenographic notes Of points
made by them.
Gov. Wilson was married in 1885 to Miss
Helen Louise Arson Of Savannah. Ga.
Mrs. Wilson ia intensely interested in her
husbands career and is said to know as
much about inside politics as many OF
the cleverest politicians in the country.
She doesn't like publicity.
The Governor has three daughters.
Margaret. Jessie and Eleanor. each OF
whom has her own particular hobby.
Miss Margaret Wilson is 20 and bears
strong resemblance to her father She
is musician. Miss Jessie Wilson is Is
and is devoted to settlement and religious
work. Miss Eleanor Wilson. who is 2i.
inherited her mothers liking for things
artistic and is student at the Academy
OF Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
Gov. Wilson retained Princeton as his
home town after giving up the presidency
OF Princeton University to become Gov
ernor of New Jersey. He moved from tho
presidents house to u fine residence in
Cleveland lane. The home life of the
Wilson's is ideal. and the Governor has
often said he is never happier .han when
he Is permitted to escape from the affairs
OF state to enjoy the society OF his family.

a. young man. Dr. Fraser said among
other things:
This occasion does not call for poit-
ical speech. 1t is merely a time of re-
joicing and mutual congrat ulation that

fellow citizens. upon this Lotable occa-
tion in our history.
We do not misunderstood each other.
We do not rejoice merely beca use Wood
row Wilson was born in Staunton nor
because he Is Democrat. but we are
elated beyond all expression that one
who was born in our town and has party
affiliation with us has proved himself
before all the world to be so eminently
capable and worthy to be the Chief Magis-
trate of this nation. If he had been chosen
to this honor and had been incompetent
to be a President We would have hung
our heads in modification at the thought
that he was native OF our town. II
having received the honor he had been
unworthy of it we would have hidden
our faces in shame at the mention of his
having been born here. But it is because
he il both capable and worthy that we
are proud to acclaim him native OF our
city.
I'VE have many good reasons for our
admiration for Gov. Wilson. We admire
him because Of his scholarly mastery
Of the science Of government. We have

against that view.
We admire him also because OF his

BRIGHT SAYINGS BY

An anecdote showing the sense OF
humor that may slumber In even the
dullest Of brains. Is told by Franklin B.
kirkbride. secretary Of the board of
managers Of Letchworth Village for tho
segregation OF the feeble minded and
Iepileptics in New York State:
A party was motoring through tho
woodlands near the settlement. one OF
the women In the party remarked upon
a series Of signs upon the trees OF what
seemed the park of u large estate.
"Letchworth Village, No Trespassing,"
She wondered whose land they were on.
Soon a young fellow was sccn walking
slowly along. gardening tools in hand.
One Of the men of the party asked of
him:
who lives on this place."
"Fools lives here, Some is on the
pay roll and some amt" was the reply
made by tho young fellow. who turned
out to be one Of the inmates of the VIII

Staunton has soon little of Gov. Wilson
since those carr hiys. but the town is
as proud Of hi- achievements as though
he had spent his whole life there. just as
soon as he was elected Governor of New
Jersey city officials and personal friends
wired their congratulations and the fol-
lowing night the Staunton Woodrow Will

cratic Presidential nomination. was
formed. The charter membership num-

of this club. which is said to be the first
and only original Woodrow Wilson club
in tho United States Mr.. Cochran was
. one Of Wilson's most active supporters in
the Virginia delegation at Baltimore.
Staunton has played a rather prominent
part in Wilson's campaign for the Presi-
dental nomination. On the occasion of
his speech to the Virginia Legislature
last spring Staunton sent a band OF sew
eral hundred men to whoop things up for
him. The town also gave him an in
structed delegation from city and county
TO tne Stdte cOnNeHtlOn, IOuSHt ValIdIltly
but unsuccessfully for an instructed
delegation from Virginia and sent a crowd
OF Wilson rooters with an enormous
orange and black banner to Baltimore.
These rooters tried to place their banner
on the stage OF the convention and the
scrap that followed formed part Of the
convention.
Following the big demonstration in
Staunton the night that Wilson was
nominated Wilson banner was strung
across the principal business street of the
city. This was many hours before Gov

mated for second place on the Democratic
ticket. Yet the next morning Staunton
awoke to the fact that the banner by q
curious coincidence united the drug
stores Of the Messrs Wilson on one side
Of the street and W. G. Marshall on the
other. They now have it "Wilson and
Marshall. Druggists and Presidents"

OF Gov Wilson'S childhood was passed
