GOLFERS COMES OUT IN
SUPPORT OF ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The an
niuncement hat Golfers Weekly will
support Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency has created a profound
impression here.
Robert j. Collier, owner of the
Weekly, has made public an editorial
he has written for the issue of October
26, taking up the Progressive leaders
cause. Golfers has supported Wilson
since the Baltimore convention. MIR.
Collier wrote his editorial after read
ing Colonel Roosevelt's remarkable
speech in Milwaukee,, when Roosevelt
was suffering from the wound of an
assassin's bullet. The editorial fol-
lows:
Theodore Roosevelt is a fairly close
presentment OF what this nation likes
to call a man.
mo man probably could have risen
so high in American politics and
emerged as stainless from his early
struggles. No man could have used
his power with a larger moral USE
fulness to his whole people. And we
doubt whether any man in history
has undertaken late in life so high
and unselfsh a venture in the field
of politics as the Bull Moose.
Golfers is not 80 hypercritical thai
it cannot recognize a man.

SAYS WILSON WON'T
GET LABOR VOTE
Debs Eliminates Taft in Presi-
dental Race-Declares Peo-
pie Are Restless.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.-Eugene
president, has covered virtually the
entire United States on his stump
ing tour and has had exceptional
opportunities for sizing the political
situation. He said in an interview
here hal Governor Wilson will not
get the intelligent labor vote in the
country. Mr.. Debs regards Presi-
lent Taft as practically eliminated
as a possibility.
The appeal of Woodrow Wilson in
behalf of the Democratic party will
fall upon deaf ears, 81 far as the in
telligent workers of the country are
concerned, said Mr.. Debs. "They are
pretty familiar with the record the
Democratic party has made wherever
and whenever it has been in power,
SO far as the working class is con-
cerned.
During the last six weeks we have
been in all of the States, with four
or five exceptions, and u observa-
ton upon the whole is that MI. Taft
is virtually eliminated from this
campaign. The reason for this is
that a progressive spirit has seized
upon the masses of our people, and
they are seething with discomfort
that is finding expression in a new
political alignment throughout the
country.
"It is beyond question hat we have
reached a point in the industrial and
social evolution where a change of
an organic nature must be made if
the liberties of the people arc not
to be wholly destroyed. The fact is
too fiagrantly evident to admit of
doubt that the nations Industries
hal is to say, the means of life of
the great masses of the people are
in the private control of a relative
few, who, because of these facts, are
the economic masters of those who
work.
THAT Mr.. Roosevelt has been the
victim of a murderous assault is, of
course, regrettable, but this should
o interfere with the activities of
the campaign. Mr.. Roosevelt, hap
PLY, is now recovering.
SHOULD the Democratic party suc-
ceed to power, it will in all likeli-
hood be that party's last appearance
in power, for as certainly as that day
comes it will mark it's wide-open
rupture and disintegration. The split
that has taken place in the Republi-
can party before the election will
then be duplicated on a more pro-
nounced scale after the election by
the Democratic party"

WATSON BOLTS WILSON,;
TURNS TO ROOSEVELT


ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. Elm a state
ment issued, Thomas E. Watson an
nounces he will not vote for Wood
row Wilson in the present campaign,
and he calls on his followers in Geor-
gia to back him up in his refusal TO
support the Democratic nominee.
There is some apprehension among
State politicians that WatsoE's atti-
tude may affect the Georgia situation
dangerously if his following falls in
behind him. Watson is supposed to
command between $4,000 and 20, 900
votes in Georgia. and if his followers
back him up the bolt may cost Will
son Georgia, as the State law requires
a majority for presidential electors.
Roosevelt must get ) per cent. of the
Bryan vote of 1908 to prevent a ma
jority,
Watson has bolted Wilson to sup
port Roosevelt, 1t is said, as he has
been lauding the colonel recently In
his publications. The Roosevelt lead
ers in Georgia, while evidently
| pleased by watson's bolt, refuse tc

SHOOTING OF ROOSEVELT
AIDS BULL MOOSE FIGHT

CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Colonel Roose-
welt, the wounded Bull Moose" leader,
finds himself more popular than ever.
His pluck since struck down by an
assassin's bullet has given an i'm
petus to his candidacy that is being
steadily added to. Not alone from
all over the country have come mes
sages that show the shooting to have
had potent political effect, but in
Illinois 1t is NEST apparent.
AS tangible evidence of how this
tide is going the Chicago headquarters
have information that a poll of the
state during the last week showed an
appreciable increase of strength in
the Bull Moose fight. The poll,
started on the day the Colonel was
shot. was kept up until Saturday.
The Progressive leaders calculate
that, while Roosevelt was certain, be-
fore the shooting, to carry Illinois. he
will capture it now by a majority of
over 100, 600.

PREDICTION
ELIMINATES I. R.
President Sees Big Victory,
With Only Opponent the
Democratic Nominee.

BEVERLY, Mass, Oct. 21.-Pre.
dieting a Republican victory, Presi'
dent Taft has issued a statement il
which he declares that Colonel Roose.
welt is out of the race.
He says, in part:
From all parts of the country as
surances are coming that Democrats
intend to vote for the Republican
candidates and a continuance OF
| prosperous business conditions and
| against the program of economic con-
fusion and Socialistic subversion OF
our institutions, supported by the
Democratic candidates and their al
lies. Democratic workingmen refuse
wages of 1912 back to the Democratic
| hard times of 1S93-97. They prefer in
| dependence and money in the a V
| ings bank to loss of employment and
, dependence on charity.
Democratic business men feel the
same way. They know that when in
dustries languish their business Ian
| guishes, too.
Drifting? Well, let me glance at
some of the drift. Our home market
has drifted from 81, 900, 0O0, 900 in 1870
to $33, 900, 900, 000-not a bad drift, that.
And it is this magnificent home mar
ket, without equal in the past. or
present, that the Democrats propose
to dismember and disorganize, and
invite every nation in the world to
prey upon, while those same nations

kets just as high as they please.
A industries are humming, and
there is work at good wages-princely
compared with wages abroad-for all
who are willing to work, while in the
Pittsburgh district alone, l under
stand, there is a demand for at least
80, 900 workers in excess of the num-
+, Der available. Business. wholesale
and retail, is active and profitable,
for the people have money with which
to buy.
1.-THE farmers are enjoying the
greatest prosperity in the experience
of American agriculture.
Sat present the steel industry, com
monty regarded as the barometer OF
business, is driven to its utmost ca
pacity, with orders far ahead for stee
rails. Other industries are equally
active, and altogether national con
ditions and prospects were never SC
prosperous and promising. provided
the American people decide to apply
to their political choice the same
good judgment and prudent foresight
which they apply, as a rule. to theii
personal affairs.
1T is we'll known to everyone, ar
open secret on every street corner
that the third party does not expect
success.
at remains to be seen how many
Republicans are willing to assist ir

Republican party and handing the

FEDERAL BAN ON THE COMMON CUP.

cTTo HE order from the federal health authorities barring the
common drinking cup from cars or boats in interstate
commerce is in line with legislation in twentysix States,
but is much more to the purpose than some of these enactments,
such as the ildigested law of New Jersey, which merely gave
the railroads a chance to have some CHASTITY sport with the
public. The federal regulations will require not only a clean
drinking vessel, but pure water, which must be certified by
the health authorities of the States where it is drawn, and the
containers must be sterilized with steam at least weekly. The
filthy carelessness with which ice for the coolers is handled is
also to be put under the ban. No statute of Congress was
teeded to set forth these rules. A public health body has
almost unlimited powers in matters like this, and why have not
the New Jersey State Board of Health and the Public Utilities
Commission full jurisdiction to duplicate the federal regula.
tons SO as to apply to traffic inside the State boundaries with.
out waiting for the next Legislature to amend the present abor.
tive law?

SEES TURN
OF v0TERSTO 7. R.
Declares Fight Is Only Between
Colonel and WiIson-Says
Taft Is Out.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The settled
belief that Taft will be a bad third
in the presidential race will cost him
a half million votes, declared Mr..
Dixon. Progressive leader, part oil
which will go to Wilson and the
greater majority to Roosevelt.
In his statement Mr.. Dixon said:
1.-The past week has seen a wonder
full crystallization Of political senti-
ment.
Zone month ago I said that there
were then two million voters who
had not yet made up their minds how
they would vote.
"Hardly a man is now left who
doubts that either Roosevelt or VIII
son will be the next President OF the
United States. Every test of public
~opinion has been made by friend or
foe puts Taft third in the race.
Men like to have their votes count
in the final result.
"The settled belief that Taft is GER
tainly a bad third will cost him an
additional half million votes.
"Some of these votes will go to Will
son, most of them to Roosevelt.
Wilson's total lack of program and
definite policy, in the event of his
election, has undoubtedly created an
adverse feeling during the last few
days.
Men admire a leader. Men have
faith in a leader with a positive, def
mite plan of action.
Even R~oosevelt's personal enemies
give him full credit for having a con-
structive policy.
'"They know what he stands for.
Nobody can yet give even a guess
what Wilson will do if elected. He
has not confided his proposed policies
to the American people.
ASK any Wilson supporter the
question, What does Mr.. Wilson pro-
pose doing should he be elected?' and
see If he can tell you.
Roosevelt and the Progressive
party have a positive, definite pro-
gram outlined in the event of Roose-
velt's election. They call it their
contract with the people,
Wilson's election and the return of
the Democratic party to power SIM
ply means a blind pool arrangement.
Millions of voters have been think
ing the last few weeks.
Those who have given their rea-
soning powers full sway have large
ly made up their minds to support
the Progressive party program and
Roosevelt for President.
THE political drift this past week
certainly has been toward the Pro-
gressive ticket"

WILSON MAY YET
RESUME CAMPAIGN
Chairman McCombs Hopes to
Induce Candidate to Speak in
NJ. Y. and Philadelphia.

NEW YORK, Oct. Ex-Governor
Wilson's determination to make no
more political speeches unless Col
onel Roosevelt again takes the stump
is not accepted as final by Democratic
national managers. The fact that
Madison Square Garden has been
rented for the night of October 81 is
being urged upon the Governor as a
reason why he should yield to the
demands of his managers and speak
in New York on that date.
Chairman McCombs. of the national
committee, still hopes to induce the
candidate also to speak in Philadel-
phia October 26. Governor Wilson has
agreed to send out a message" to
be read throughout the country No
vember 2, on "Wilson-Marshall day."
but has not consented as yet to the
plans for his personal appearance
again on the stump.
Most of yesterday was spent by
Governor Wilson in conference with
National Chairman McCombs in re-
gard to the meeting of the leaders to
be held in Chicago today.
The Governor returned to Prince
ton early in the evening. and upon
his arrival home declared that his
plans to abandon the stump until
Roosevelt has recovered enough to
again resume campaigning have not
been changed.
From his home the Governor will
make frequent trips to Trenton. His
campaign headquarters will be in his
cottage in Cleveland lane. Walter
Measday, the Governors campaign
secretary, will go to Princeton today
with a corps of stenographers to
catch up with the candidates corre-
spondence.

NOT SAFE EVEN ON THE SIDEWALK.

XIV OF even on the sidewalk are pedestrians safe from the
I'M reckless or inexpert motorist. Yesterdays pitiful tragedy
in Elizabeth, of which a 2yearold child was the victim,
In the presence of its father, adds a new horror to the appalling
possibilities of motoring. This mere baby was walking with his
father on the sidewalk, the latter wheeling a younger infant in
its gocart, when a heavy touring car owned and driven by a
Staten Island man dashed up on the sidewalk, struck the group
and in an instant a young life was destroyed. The man who
did this awful deed was one of the New Workers. to whom New
Jersey extends the hospitality Of its highways for automobiling.
Evidently he has not the skill or discretion required to operate
II car. When the juggernaut of motoring invades the sidewalks
and mows down little children it is time to call a halt. Why
are unskiled and needless persons permitted to drive veritable
locomotives in crowded cities, and how many people will have
10 be butchered before an example is made of somebody by
indicting the extreme penalty for manslaughter?

c1a HE voting population in New Jersey as shown by the last
census was 593, 492 in 1910. There were at the same

In excess of the naturaized and the sons of foreign or mixed

in New Jersey in the last presidential election was 467 Ill, or
126,3S1 less than the number of qualified voters in 1910, SO
that at least 100000 voters failed to vote in that election,

MANY TOWN MEETINGS
PLANNED BY PROGRESSIVES

WOODBURY., Oct. 21.-The Pro-
gressive general campaign commit
tee for this county held a meeting
at headquarters lest night. While II
was a committee meeting, 1t was just
impossible to keep others away, and
soon after the meeting was called
to order it was necessary to hrow
open the doors to everybody. Even
then the large would not ac-
commodate all those who wanted to
get in.
The committee decided to raise a
banner this week in front of the
headquarters, and arrangements are
being made to hold meetings in
Glassboro, P%aulsboro. Bridgeport,
Swedesboro, Clarksboro and Mullica
Hill, and wind up the campaign with
a big meeting in this city.

ney-General u. s.. Webb said:
There is a code section in State

JOHNSON,S TRADE is ZONE.

TACK JOHNSON, the negro pugiist, has probably ended
Ill his career in the fstic ring. He certainly has in this
country, and it is doubtful if he will be permitted to
appear in Australia after his present experience. Recently
.ohnsons white wife committed suicide, and the pugilist is now
under bail for concealing a young white girl of weak mind,
whose mother had vainly sought to rescue her. 1t would ill fare
with johnson if this had occurred in the South, and even in
Chicago on Saturday he was compelled to take shelter from a
threatening street crowd. Johnson may continue to run a
saloon in the Chicago underworld, but the big prizes of the
ring and the vaudeville are no longer for him. He would not
be tolerated on the stage or in the ring.
