tion Of New Jersey Cover
nor to Lead Fight.

here this morning to formulate plans
for the presidential campaign Of Wood
row Wilson.
That William F. McComb, who Is a
New York lawyer and Princeton
graduate, was Governor Wilson's
choice for the national craftsmanship
was conceded.
It was generally believed that the
wishes of Gov. Wilson would be car
ried out at every turn. The report that
Mr. McCombs, who is not a member
of the committee, was Governor Will

had left Seagirt with Hudspeth at

Underwood, democratic leader in the
house of representatives, will take
luncheon tomorrow with Gov. Wood
row Wilson, at Trenton. Arrangements
were made over the long distance tele-

ground as that between Mr.. Wilson
and Speaker Clark last Saturday. 1t
will take place at the Country club,
where privacy Is assured. At that time
the speaker outlined the details Of the
unfinished business before the house,
and mapped out the schedule for the

Trenton tomorrow will be made by

is to be given publicity either by the
national committee or republican
members of the house and senate. 1t
is very exhaustive review of every
contest.

fell far behind in the first 200 meters,

MY POLICIES.

Where's Perkins," asked a man in
the audience during Mr.. Roosevelt's
Boston speech while he was calling
the roll of his supporters.
He's for me-" Mr.. Roosevelt replied.
And, further. let me say, you can
guarantee that If you search from top
TO bottom of my record in the past and
in the future, you'll not find that I
ever did, that do or ever shall do for
Mr.. Perkins or any other human being
one thing that ! wouldn't tell this au-
dience in it's entire detail"
All of which stirs the New York
World to exclaim:
''If Mr.. Roosevelt feels that way,
why not make public the amount of
money supplied for his campaign by
George w. Perkins, and how and
where it has been spent? When he
was president he ordered the suit
against the harvester trust held up
after George w. Perkins had pleaded
that the great money interests had
| been so friendly to him and would
fight If the government prosecuted the
harvester trust, OF which Perkins was
the organizer and chairman of the
finance committee.
why so much secrecy about the
Perkins contribution TO the Roosevelt
campaign fund?
What would Mr.. Roosevelt say if q
George w. Perkins was financing the
Taft campaign?
What would he say if a George w
Perkins was financing the Harmon
campaign?
What would he say If a George w
Perkins was financing the Underwood
campaign?
at is only Theodore Roosevelt whC
is virtuous enough to accept cam
paign contributions from the chairman
of the finance committee of the hal
vester trust, which was saved from
prosecution in 1907 by Mr.. Roosevelt

One dandelion removed now means

Weeds are natures emblem OF care

IA GREAT WHITE WAY"

New York City's Great White Way, as
the brilliantly lighted section of Broad
way is called, may soon be outshone
by a Greater White Way" laid out
by New York state.
There is a project to light 10 miles
of the state highways as an expert
ment preliminary to illuminating a
great circuit from New York city TO
Buffalo by way OF Albany and then
back 10 the capital through the south

Corning. Elmira and Binghamton.

undertaking of its kind in the United

would greatly increase the utility of
the roads. making traffic as safe by
night as by day.
According 10 plan, poles OF rein

Put Politics Out of Court

The legislature ought to pass this
bill without fail. 1t is prominently
test of its willingness to serve the
welfare of the state in one of its most
serious phases. Legislators who op
pose this make a serious public con-
fession, and the Legislative Voters
league would do well to make action
on this reform a principle test.
Another fact should be emphasized
at this time. The legislator who alb
sents himself from the session next
week is putting himself on record
against the reforms proposed. The
constitutional amendment needs two
tn rds vote. There should be full at
tendance.
This is especially responsibility in
Chicago. for the downstate legislators
are reader to attend than those from
Chicago. Chicago constituents ought
to let their senators and representatives
kn@w they expect them to be on duty
next week.
