DEMOCRATS TO
HAVE HOT FIGHT
(Fror the NEWS Correspondent.)

(FTOnl the ~ VIZ COTTSSpGHuSUt-J
Trenton, Sept. 4.-James Smith,
Jr., former United States Senator
from New Jersey and the foremost
figure. in the Anti-Wilson ranks in
this State,, late yesterday afternoon
filed his petition for the nomination
for United States Senator. With the
filing of the petition he gave out a
prepared statement in which he
promised earnest support to the
Wilson and Marshall ticket. The
opinion persists In Democratic cir
cIes, however, that the statement
does not mean that the old enm1ty
between former Senator Smith and
Governor Wilson has disappeared.
State House politicians are of the
opinion that the former senator Will
support the Governor for President
only because he Is the Democratic
nominee, and the belief is general
that in the campaign for the Sem
atorship there will be bitter warfare
between the Smith forces and the
Progressives, led by the Governor.
Wilson in Control.
Governor Wilson now controls the
Democratic State Committee and is
IQo abC0uuduCy Ill hiooe Va hhN
counties of the state. The old time
Smith machine Is a wreck In many
of the counties and his chief strong
hold Is in Essex county and other
sections of North Jersey. Governor
Wilson demonstrated his strength
over the Smith ranks at the presiden-
tial preference primary last May,
when the Smith-Nugent followers
made practically no showing what
ever outside of Essex county. Never
theless, former Senator Smith Is
wise and astute politician, tried in all
the intricacies Of the political game
and, withal, man of great wealth.
without a doubt, therefore, he will
be a power that must be reckoned
with in this senatorial campaign.
The Smith petition contained
1900 names, or 800 more than re-
quired by the election laws, the
great majority of the signers being
residents of Newark. Mr.. Smith
named as his campaign treasurer,
Richard j. Franz, tax receiver OF
Newark, and treasurer Of the Essex
County Democratic Committee.
Forced to Recognize Law.
There was considerable comment
around the State House that Sena-
tor Smith, after having repudiated
the senatorial primaries two years
ago when he sought to go to Wash
ington and was defeated by the Gov
ernor, should not decide to go before
the voters at the primaries. 1t was
regarded that this action of the for
mer senator would further strength
en- the law providing for the prefer
entail vote on United States Senator.
The entry of Senator Smith into
the senatorial race will lead to re-
doubled efforts on the part OF the
Governor and his followers to bring
about the withdrawal of two OF the
Progressive candidates for United
States Senator, SO that there may be
concentrated opposition to Smith.
The impression continues to prevail

erly boundary line. The woman left
her, boy playing with other children
of the neighborhood about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The woman
whom she had visited promised to
see that the lad arrived home at the
proper time.
Shortly after Mrs. Olsen had left
her little son started on his fatal
run down the hill. AS he neared the
pond he found that he could not
stop. He partly slid and rolled into
the pond at the foot of the hill and
drowned in sight of several children
who had been his playmates. They
gave the alarm and futile efforts
were made to recover his body. Cor
oner Flynn was notified about $50
O'Clock and while a number of men
went IN search of a rowboat with
which to drag for the body, the cor
oner recovered 1t by means of an
anchor attached to a rope. He had
difficulty in carrying the body up the
steep hill.
Alfred, Jr., was the older of two
children In the Olsen family, the
other being boy five years old.
The funeral will be held at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon from the Danish

James street, Just across the city g
westerly boundary line in Wood

Olsen, Jr., the seven years and
eleven months old son of Alfred Oh

into a pond and drowned shortly af-
ter 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
His body was drawn out about an
hour later by Coroner James j. Flynn

little victim witnessed 1t. Only an
hour and a half before she had left
her boy at play with other children,
with the promise that he would re-
turn home for supper.
The lad drowned in about eight
feet of water in pond banked on
all sides, which indicated 1t was an
old clay pit. The pond was about
q hundred feet long and about the
width Of the street. Unmindful OF
the danger OF sliding into the water

Raps Wilson in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. A. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt began his invasion
of the west. His trip through Indiana
southern Illinois and to St Louis was
important, less because Of the thou
sands who turned out to greet him and
the fact that he turned his batteries
on Governor Woodrow Wilson than
because of the opportunity he had to
confer with the state leaders and ascer-
tain at first hand the real situation In
the states he traversed.
At Indianapolis he saw former Sen
ator Beveridge, Progressive candidate
for governor, and State Senator Funk
Illinois, who accompanied him from
indianapolis to st. Louis. Upon his
arrival in the Missouri city he was met
by Judge Albert D. Norton, who W N
be nominated as Progressive candi
date for governor of Missouri The
colonel found in each Of the states
mentioned great deal Of enthusiasm
for his candidacy, good organizations
In Indiana am. Illinois, but an imper-
feet organization In Missouri. He was
advised that there is no real feeling
for Wilson, but general belief that
this is Democratic year. Taft is
dismissed because of the expectation
that he will be poor third.
The colonel fred a broadside at
Wilson in st. Louis. He attacked him
Upon the tariff, the trusts and quoted
an interview with Jacob Schiff, the
New York flnancier, In favor Of VIII
son, to show the respectable Wall
street vtew."
The colonel was in fine fighting
spirit. The Republicans In the three
states the colonel visited are afflicted
with inertia. They apparently are do
ing little, though they announce they
VII become active from now on. Dur,
irg his trip through Indiana and ILL
nois the colonel made several short
speeches to good sized crowds. In
Indiana he spoke at Indianapolis and
Terre Haute. In Illinois his only stop
was at Mattoon. Here a large crowd
had assembled. There he spoke q
word" for Senator Funk's candidacy.

STILL
IS AMBITIOUS
(Fren, the NEWS correspondent.)

NAfS't tJeo ~ IL W ~ WI ICoPOHuoHt-i
Trenton, Sept. 4: - Announcing
that he still entertains the ambition
to be United States Senaor, but that
in the present critical and chaotic
condition in party affairs he deems
it his duty not to make the contest
this year, former Governor Edward
Casper Stokes today formally de-
clared his withdrawal from the
contest He had been waging a
campaign and had his petition ready
to file, but decided finally yesterday
afternoon not to f1le it. His de-
cision leaves the field solely to SEN
ator Frank o. Briggs, of this city,
who has already file | his nominat-
| ing petition, and Is the only Re-
publican to do SO.
Mr.. Stokes's statement Is as fol-
lows:
Il shall make no contest for the
United States senatorship this fall.
| 1t is we'll known that the senatorsh ip
has been the only real official ambi-
tion | have ever entertained, and 1t
Is one which / still entertain and
which | shall endeavor to realize at
the earliest opportunity, consistent
with what l deem to be my public
obligations.
The situation at the present time,
however, is so critical and chaotic in
party affairs, both In state and ma
ton, that 1t Is the clear duty of every
lpatriotic citizen to do his part in
working out a sane and wise solution
of the problems before us.

end, and / feel that my efforts will
be more effective if | am free from
the suspicion of self seeking and per-
sonal interest. 1t is a time for har-
mony and cooperation, not for diff
ferences or selfishn ess.
Unwise management and leader
ship have stirred many Republicans
to protest and given rise to new
party. The rank and file of the old
and the new have much in common
and are one In their opposition to
Democratic politics. United, they
will be successful; divided, they may
fail. Mere names should not sepa-
rate them. They are working prac-
tically together in many parts Of the
West and in one county In this state,
and I believe wise counsels will
bring about a unity of action that
will regard policies more important
than men, and elevate this campaign
from one of discussion of personal
tiles to a discussion of principles.
/ take this course purely from a
sense of duty, without any confer
ence direct or indirect with any of
the other candidates for United
States senator, and without any
agreements or bargains of any kind
with any one.
My activity in the campaign will
be just as pronounced as though I
were a personal issue in the contest
