After having attended a meeting of

Will NJ. Peterson, local attorney and

turned home this morning. He re-
turned more confident than ever of
the success of Governor Wilson this

every county in the state save one
show that republicans by the thous-
ands are planning to cast their votes
for Wilson this fall" says Peterson.
I'm addition the democrats are united
FOR their nominee and he therefore is
in line to carry the state in Novem-
ber. There is considerable Roosevelt
sentiment but as his support is COM
ing almost entirely from the old re-
publican party it is hurting Taft rath-
er than Wilson. With the opposition
thus divided the chances for Wilson's
election are exceptionally good"
