the most thrilling in American his
tory, and later Andrew Johnson,
when the secession movement was at
its height, had to face serious issues
sometimes risking his life. jackson
was shot and seriously wounded IN
the streets of Nashville, and on one
occasion johnson narrowly escaped
lynching. During the latser's sway
as military governor of Tennessee
he ruled with an iron hand and while
he was condemned by the disunion
party he was applaudcd by others to
whom secession failed to appeal.
The old state is again passing
through troublous times.

force was sent to Capitol Hill ycster-
day to guard against violence in the
Tennessee House Of Representatives,
Trouble was anticipated when Speak

uowsc appeared personally in charge
of the policemen. He said that II
rioting broke out, which the police
couldn't handle, he would call on the
Governor for troops to prevent blood

ing of President Wilson's impending
visit to this State in the interests of

Of Mercer County. today declared
himself emphatically in favor of the
former Governors candidacy.
II shall be happy to support Mr..
Stokes for the nomination" declared
the surrogate. HE has a record as
clean as a hounds tooth; he has
proved his executive ability to be of
the highest quality in everything he
has undertaken, either as politician,
banker or business man; his honor is
above reproach, and his statesman
ship has been clearly demonstrated
as of the highest order.
"Mr. Stokes is an able orator,
clearly setting forth his views and
not afraid to set them forth, and he
has loyal and enthusiastic supporters
behind him. / shall consider 1t a
pleasure indeed to support his candi-
dacy.H
'But he hasn't declared himself a

In discussing the subject OF nanda-

was that the best plan to pursue in
this matter at the special session
would be to repeal all acts now exist

WOODROW WILSON CLUB
SEEKS TO CHANGE NAME
Tspecial to the Newark star.I

TRENTON. N. j., April 25.-The
Woodrow Wilson Club of Trenton has
filed application with the secretary
of State for the changing of its name
to the'Walter Madden Association, in
honor of Sheriff Madden, of Mercer
County, its president. The object of
the change Is to help the candidacy
of the sheriff for the office OF surro-
gate, Cor which he will be a candi-
date against the present Republican
incumbent, Samuel II. Bullock.
Surrogate Bullock today stated that
he would try for. reelection. His term
expires in 1914, and the salary of the
office is $4,000 per year. That of the
sheriff is the same, but inasmuch as
the sheriff cannot succeed himself
his eye has been cast longingly at
the surrogate's chair, and he will re-
ceive the support of the entire Katz-
enbach following for the Job, be-
cause of his declaration earlier this
week in favor of the former mayor
of Trenton's candidacy for Governor.
