WILSON CREERED
BY THREE CREWS
Presidential Candidate Sere-
naded by Band Of Music
and Makes Response.

Seagirt, y. J., Aug. 12.-In the dusty |
road which fringes the lawn OF his
summer home here, Governor Wood |
row Wilson stood shaking hands Sat
urday with hundreds of democrats,
who serenaded him with brass bands.
In all he made three campaign speech
es.
First came the Hungarian national
democratic club OF New York city. The
governor assured them that he never
had intended anything disrespectful in
his writings on foreigners and that he
had always felt a high regard for
European people because Of his long
study of their history. The delegation,
headed by Morris Cucknor Of New
York, said they would support his
candidacy.
The Brooklyn democratic club came
later in the day. To them the COVER
nor made a speech, saying that the
democratic party las INDUCED in no
personalities in it's campaign.
To the Woodrow Wilson club Of
Orange, n. j., the governor made
| longer speech in response to one by
| Judge Daniel A. Dugan.
New Jersey was known as the
mother Of trusts-a very troublesome
and questionable family-and l had
to spend my time outside Of New Jer-
sey in assuring the people OF the IN
ion that it was not the fault of the
disposition of the people of New Jer-
sey that there were certain gentlemen
who had undertaken to carry the re-
publican party in their pockets and to
administer it Independently Of the
rank and file of the republicans of the
state.
The democratic party is now plac-
ed under peculiar responsibility. The
democratic party has to prove that it
is the worthy instrument of that zeal
on the part of the people of the United
States. II it doesn't prove 1t now it
will never be given another chance TO
prove it. No party that proves un-
faithful TO that ideal will ever again
be trusted by the people of America.
And, therefore, we are standing at a
turning point in our politics; we must
make good or go out of business"
