UNDER THE DOME.

President Wilson Is the Issue forced
to the front by the Democrats in New
Jersey" said Representative Towner Of
Iowa. yesterday. Mr.. Towner has just
returned from a campaign tour in the
State.
The Democrats are apparently stalk
| ing everything upon the Endorsement OF
the Administration continued Mr. Tow
ner This Is their only hope and Il
gives the Republiczns the opportunity
to say that the President Is simply be-
ing used as a stall<lng-hourse for Fielder.
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
They say. too. that Mr.. Wilson has no
faith In New Jersey Democrats. because
he has Insisted upon telling them what
to do.
TT Is a pretty three-cornered fight
Fielder Is relying upon Wilson's prestige:
Colby, the Progressive. has lots Of money
and wants to make q showing, and
stokes, the Republican. Is b fne cam
paigner with an excellent record. The
Republicans are fighting against great
odds. but they are working hard. They
have made some capital out OF the re-
fusal OF Fielder to debate With Stokes,
and they are emphasizing the tariff as
well az the extrayasanee- OF the Demo-
cratic State administration
How is II going to come out? can't
tell. 1t all depends upon the number
Of Republican votes which Colby gets"
1t is not a land flowing with milk and
honey-the eastern shore Of North Caro-
lina-but IL is the greatest hunting and
fishing place in the, world
And it is going totbe greater than ever
in the opinion Of Representative Small,
of that State The government has pur-

Canal and proposes to construct an in
land waterway from Norfolk. on the
Elizabeth River, through Albermarle.
Croatan, and Pamlico Sounds to Beau
fort inlet, which is below Cape Hatteras
and Cape Lookout
II have had any number OF inquiries
from Northern owners of yachts and
houseboats," said Mr.. Small. yesterday.
.swho want to find out how to spend
their winters in the North Carolina
sounds. The climate Is delightful. II
has not the lassftude of Florida. and
yet IL is perfectly delightful in winter.
There is no restriction upon fishing, and
there is good sport with the gun. 1 be-
Iieve that in time North Carolina will
become the Riviera of the United States.
Mays Head. for instance. is as pic
turesque as 1t can be-"
Albemarle Sound, although connected
with the ocean Dy an Inlet, Is lne AdFBcSt
body of fresh water in the United States
outside of the Great Lakes II is kept
fresh by the numerous rivers which how
into II.
The little town Of Nerthfield. Vt, does
not occupy a large place on the map.
Most people never heard Of II.
And yet at Northfield. VT, the dispute
between France and Venezuela, which
had lasted twenty years, and had led to
a rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. was settled.
The scene of the settlement was the
modest law Office of Representative
Plumley, who was the arbitrator in the
case. So Northfield, IL you only knew
It. has a claim to international fame
Notwithstanding which, the people of
Northfield are Of the unsophisticated
kind. Not long ago the Central Vermont
Railroad officials placed an electric sig
nal bell at dangerous grade crossing
near the town Along came a farmer
driving a sled loaded with bark. He heard
the bell ringing and wondered. The more
II rang the more his curiosity became
aroused. He couldn't understand what
the gol-derned thing was ringing for,
and above all, he couldn't see what made
itsring.
So he stopped his sled on the track
and got out to investigate. After his
sled had been wrecked and one OF his
horses killed he found out.
