DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE VEL. COMES WOMEN OF THE couh.
 TRY INTO POLITICS.
TALKS HIGH COST OF LIVING
Says Women of the Nation Win Be a Welcome Element in Politics. Warns New Jersey of Return
 of Boss System.

Seagirt, N J., Aug, Ex-Governor Woodrow Wilson at the New Jersey Day celebration today welcomed the women of the nation into the field of politics" Not word did the gov ernor say about woman suffrage, but as he stood before hundreds of wo- men who gathered to organize the Woman's Wilson and Marshall League of New Jersey, the governor pointed out that the entry of the women into politics would make the country's politics the same pattern with our life,' thing 'devoutly to be wished.
 It was a brief impromptu speech delivered at the close of the New CT sey Day celebration, which attracted thousands of democrats from all parts of the state and many from oth CT states who are visiting the sea- shore.
 The governor in his main speech a. noon apropos of the celebration, dis cussed the reform laws of the state, but digressed once into a reference to the third party, which he elabor- ated in a statement issued tonight What the governor said in his speech was;
 'I suppose you know the force that is behind the new party that recently has been formed, the so-called pro- gressive party. 1t is a force of dis content with the regular parties Of the United States. It is the feeling that men have gone into blind alleys and come out often enough and that they propose to fihd an open road for themselves"
 In his statement explaining that reference the governor said tonight that the independent and progressive forces of the country had utterly fail- ed to get control of the republican party but had absolutely proved their ascendancy and their entire control within the democratic party; that the people had found that they could make use of the democratic party as a proper medium for their purposes.
 Of particular significance in the governors first speech was his warn ings to the people that the same bosses overthrown two years ago were planning to restore "the old or der of things in New Jersey imme- diately upon his exit from office.
 To the women in his second speech the governor recommended partlci patton in politics, because he said they were "in contact with the high cost of living and the pocketbook"
 When the last word is said about politics. said Governor Wilson, it is merely the life of all of us from the point of view of what can be accom- plshed by legislation and the admin istration of public office, I think it is artificial to divide life up into sec tions; 1t is all of one piece, though you cant attend to all pieces of 1t at once. And so when the women, who are in so many respects at the heart of life, begin to take an interest in politics, then you know that all the lines of sympathy and intelligence and comprehension are going to be interlaced before, so that our poll tics will be of the same pattern with our life This, it seems to me, is de- voutly to be wished.
 Nobody certainly Is more directly in contact with the cost of living than the women are. And when 1t comes to the immediate contact of tne pocketbook with life the women know where the sensitive nerve is, because they do the purchasing, they do me skimping, they do the careful plan ming which is necessary in these days of tremendous cost, to adjust our in- comes to our lives. because when we come down to the bottom the tun- Jamental thing We are interested m is the way we are going to live. It i5 not mere matter of satisfying our stomachs. 1t is a matter of attaining certain position respectaDlllty among our neighbors and our income does have a great ssal to do when 1t Is compared with the cost of living and with our happiness, and there ? fore economic questions, questions oi the tariff questions of everything that enters into the cost of living are questions which women ought to comprehend
 And so when the women come lnto politics. they come in to show us all those little contacts between life ana politics, on account of which l. TOT myself, rejoice that they have come to our assistancej they will be as lh- dlspensable as they are delightful
