DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
CLIMAX IN NEW YORK
Great Meeting Thursday Night in
Madison Square

Governor Wood row Wilson's cam
paign for the Presidency reached
it's climax in New York Thursday
night.
Ten thousand New Workers crowd
ed Madison Square Garden and gave
him an ovation that has never been
rivaled by any demonstration in the
history Of that famous auditorium.
For one hour and three minutes this
multitude shouted itself hoarse for
the national candidate.
Waiting outside the hall and una
BILE to catch more than the tumult
from within were other thousands
In the Bronx more thousands wait
ed patiently for two hours tor the
arrival of the party's standard
bearer.
This was the first time Governor
Wilson had made an appeal direct
to the New Workers.. He had touch
ed the surface of the Empire State
before, but Thursday night he
reached their Learts and their
greetings went straight to his.
And the message which the nomi-
nee brought to New York aroused a
volume OF enthusiasm that promised
to sweep the city and State. He de-
clared that his party proposed
to place humanity above property
and men above money. He said No
vember would mean that after long
years OF oppression the common
people OF America would come into
their own.
This Wilson plea for human rights
as bound up in the cost OF living, in
the tariff, in the growth and lawless-
ness Of trusts, touched New York as
has no GRAFTON since TIE national
campaign began. The response was
manifest as esch sentence reached
his hearers. The applause was so
frequent that the speaker begged
for silence time and again.

Defeat

For a generation, as college men
reckon, the cadets from Virginia
Military Institute have been send
ing football teams to battle with the
University on the home grounds.
Each year they were greeted with
defeat. Some seasons they managed
to hold Virginia to a close score.
But defeat was always their share Of
the game. The V. Nj. l. boys, in
the true spirit Of sportsmanship
never lost courage. Each year
found them back with the same en-
thusiasm and high hopes. Like the
great lieutenant who once taught at
their alma mater, Stonewall Jack
sen, they fought hard and fought
fair and we're not afraid.
Saturday they brought the same
fighting machine-only better. They
won. Their team clearly outclaSsed
Virginia at every stage OF the game
aud deserved the great victory
they so richly won.
Defeat is a bitter dose fol
mere mortals, but we can take II
like men. However much we ma,
regret defeat, we will not, paradox
cally speaking, begrudge V. M. |
her victory. The cadets are ou
most magnanimous athletic enemies
We congratulate the Institute on it
team and wish it every success i

Make Summer Resort of the Arctic

If we may credit a deep sea Scien-
fist, it will cost less than $3.50, 600,
600 to make Siberia a sumner re
sort, start ice famines in Labrador,
give Scotland an all day summer,
with temperature like Japan's;
change the climate Of the Atlantic
coast to one like that of southern
California, melt all the ice on and
around the North Pole and open it
to truck gardening.
All that is necessary to accom-
plish these results is to build a
riprap jettv about 200 miles long
across the shoals extending east

War in the Orient Reaching Acute
Stage at Last

The war in the Orient between the
Turkish Empire on the one side and
the four nations of Greece, Montena-

waged with varying success. the al
lied powers, however, forcing the
"Unspeakable Turk" from his
stronghold.
The reasons for going to war with
Turkey are explained in an eloquent
proclamation just issued by King
Feadinand of Bulgaria.
The King refers first 10 his peace
full reign OF % years, and says he
mad hoped that it would never be
stained by war.
But Providence, he adds. has
judged otherwise. The moment has
come when the Bulgarian race is
called upon to renouhce the benefits
of peace and have recourse to arms.
Beyond the mountains our brothers
in blood and religion have not been
able until this day, 80 years after
our own liberation, to obtain condi-
tions OF life that are bearable. The
tears Of Balkan Slavs, and the groan-
ing Of millions of Christians, could
not but stir our hearts and the
hearts OF our co-religionists. Our
love OF peace is now exhausted. To
succor the Christian population o
Turkey there remains to us no Other
means than TO turn TO arms"
The present war is the elimination
