WOODBURY., Oct. 11.-Gloucester
county warmed to Governor James
F. Fielder yesterday, giving him rare
encouragement in his canvass for the
governorship. The governor dipped
into the political history of his chief
antagonist, former Governor Stokes.
whom he pilloried as a railroad man
and corporation favorite.
From his initial speech at Westville
to his final address at the county seat
Mr. Fielder pressed the argument
that the one big issue in the present
campaign is that alone of good gov
eminent my idea,' he said in his
opening speech, lis that there isn't
very much use of the candidates
going about the State and making
speeches to the voters. All of the is
sues were thrashed over In the pri-
mary campaign"
Praises Colby, Hits Stokes.
A bunch of flowers presented to him
by a little schoolgirl at Cross Keys
inspired Mr.. Fielder to say nice
things about former Senator Everett
Colby, the Progressive candidate for
governor and the new party when
he reached Williamstown. He said:
1.-THE Progressive principles come
close to representing the kind Of
things that I can stand for, but 7
cannot go all the way with them. 1
believe that the Progressives are
| sincere in their fight for the uplift
of the people in New Jersey. have
| only the kindest regard for Mr.. Col
| by, with whom l was associated in
! the Senate, and have no retort to
make to the things that he Is re-
ported to have said about me. SEN
| ator Colby has said that I am a re-
/ dictionary. He has spoken broadly,
| in a general way, and I would only
ask that in his next speech that he
point out specifically where I am a
reactionary or conservative, and
wherein, in the Senate or as govern
or, l have supported reactionary
| measures.
ct think that he Is too radical and
that 1t is impossible for him to carry
out some of the ideas he has been
! preaching. But het hasn't been a
trimmer-he hasn't been q wobbler."
Grosscup Goes Along.
The governor was accompanied by
| State Chairman p. e. Grosscup and
many of the leading Democrats of the
county. These included former Con-
gresham Thomas M. Terrell, Grover
! c. Richman, assistant counsel for the

vice-chairman of the Gloucester

County Clerk James Lafferty, Harry
w Jones, director Of the County
