Washington. March 17.-Presfdent
Wilson today turned his attention
chiefly to the political situation in New
Jersey. The democratic party there is
divided on the question OF the jury re-
form bill The president sent a tele-
gram TO Gov. Fielder and democratic
State Senate Leader Davis, demanding
the bill be passed without amendment
It provides and empowers commissions
appointed by the governor to draw
jrrtes.
jury reform was pledged in the DEM
ocratic platform, and it is believed the
president wants to put the leaders of
New Jersey on record as to whether
they are for progressive principles.
I feel very strongly telegraph ed
the president, "our partys unequivocai
commitment to the jury reform, and
that the terms OF referendum in the
present bill are a virtual notification
oe the reform. Can we not give the
people what they demand without
Qualification?
The bill providing that a commission
appointed by the governor of the state
should choose juries instead of sheriffs,
was pendJng v~nen Mr. Wilson RESIGNED
the goverfforship He tDsd the state
leaders that he would come back to
New Jersey If necessary to speak in
favor of the bill
NOT HONEST REFERENDUM.
Since that time the measure has
pasSed the house but with an amend
n1ent attached requiring that the ques-
tfon be submitted to a referendum
Mr.. Wilson said at the time that he
would not object to a referendum IL it
were an honest one. He now takes
the position that the referendum as
proposed delayed the issue OF jury re-
form and he appealed to the state SEN
ate before whom the bill Is pending 10
drop the amendment.
President Wilson's objection to the
amendment Is because it is so drawn
that the referendum would fail unless
SS per cent Of all voters who cast bal
lots for all parties at the last election
took part in it. Under such circlnn-
stances the president feels that every
voters who did not attend the election
would in effect be counted against the
proposal while the intention might be
to- the contrary.
ANOTHER ISSUE ARISES.
The issue as to the progressives was
likewise brought out in a visit TO the
White House of William L. Marbury,
of Maryland, who is waging a cam
paign against the re- election of SEN
ator Smith from that state on the
ground that Smith is not a progress
sive. Marbury recently said the pres
ident had requested him 30 become a
candidate against Smith. Nothing was
announced after the visit
The president listened today to a
committee Of woman suffrage leaders,
who urged him to recommend to the
extra session an equal suffrage amend
nent. Wilson indicated his mind is
open on the general subject Of votes
for women
1t became known today John Bassett
Moore, professor Of interna tional law
at Columbia University, had accepted
the post of chancellor to the depart
ncent of state. William F. McCombs

Among the items in the bill which
went out on points of order. made prfn-
cipally By Chairman Johnson. of the

Those That Lost:
The following comparatively large ap-

ton for new colored high school, S15o00o.

The District bill was handled on The
floor by Congressman Burleson, ranking

sat James c. Courts, clerk to The APP

who knows more about annual budgets
