LAUDS WILSON
AS GOVERNOR
ELIZABETH IN. J.) TIMES SAYS
DIR, WILSON'S MIND is MASTER
OF DETAIL-WHAT TRENTON
VISITOR SAW.

Elizabeth. n. J., April 4.-The fol-
lowing is from the Elizabeth Times:
I'm all my experience of the men
who have held the office of chief ex-
ecutive of the state Of New Jersey
and my recollection extends back TO
the time of Governor Joel Parker
have never known one who was such a
tremendous worker or who executed
the duties of his OFFICE with such
thoroughness as Governor WILSON"
The speaker was an old time attache
of the state house at Trenton, whose
duties have brought him In constant
and intimate relation with every gov
ernor for a generation past.
Nothing escapes his attention. he
went on, from the smallest routine
detail to the most important question
affecting the state"
Governor Wilson is always one or
the earliest arrivals in the executive
department. He enters with the brisk
stride of a man twenty years his
Junior and at once plunges into the
work of answering his mail. Unlike
many men in his position. he reads a
very large proportion Of the letters ne
receives taking the position that II a
man is sufficiently interested in a
subietc to write to him he is entitled
to a personal reply.
This task Is not accomplished WITH
out many interruptions, for no COVER
nor of the state ever had so many
callers as Woodrow Wilson. His re-
narkable gifts, the wonders he has
accomplished in legislation for the
good of the people, the nation wide
interest in him daily bring to the ex-
ecutive Office scores of visitors who
want to meet him and whose business
could just as well be done with some
other official, but who feel that they
must see their admired governor.
| And the open door policy which
was inaugurated by Woodrow Wilson
the first day he took Office aids them
| in their ambition, although it adds
much to the burdens of the executive
Believing that there is nothing in the
business of the state which should be
done in secret, nothing in which every
voter has not q personal interest ano
therefore a perfect right to full knowl-
edge, Governor Wilson always keeps
wide open the door between his Office
and the big waiting room so that al
may see what is going on within.
When the governor took office ht
could not be said to be we'll known Il
the people of the state. True they
had heard of his fight for Democracl
at Princeton university; they had reaC
his splendid speeches; they knew hi
