or JURIES.
AGAIN RAPS The Interests
Declares Voices of Protest Against

Interests.

JERSEY CITY, n, j., May g.
President Wilson tonight interpreted
the fight In New Jersey for jury re-
form and constitutional revision ag a
part Of the struggle OF American peo-
pie TO obtain true democratic equal
justice to all and special privilege To
none.
Though he made no reference to
policies pending in Washington. the
president indicated that the protests
being voiced against the tariff were
those of the special interests ana not
the masses.
some of my fellow citizens and
some of their colleagues in Washing
ton City,' he said, nov think that
they are hearing the voice Of The
people of the United States, when
they are only hearing the part that
has become vocal by moving down to
Washington and insisting upon its
special interests.
AS ! sit in my office in Washing
ton, there are windows only on one
side Of the room ANA those windows
look ont upon PARK on the Potomac
river and the shores of Virginia on
the other side. and ! cannot see
Washington from these windows,
though ! some times think | can, be-
cause Washington behind me is
seething with special representatives,

ing at the doors OF the office itself,

spaces of the United States And
would rather hear the whispers COM
ing in at these windows than the
strident arguments coming in at
those doors"
Had Strenuous Day.
The president had spent siren
uous day, lighting throughout for the
reform which he came to New Jer-
sey to advocate. Tonight In the last
speech of his trip, an expression of
approval interrupted him frequently
as he assailed the influence in the
state which he~claimed were manag-
ing the populous country for private
purposes. The president early in his
remarks referred to the incidents in
the legislative hall during the noon
hour, when assemblyman McDermott
openly deiied him and fired series
of questions at Mr., Wilson that act
ing Gov vernor Fielder interviewed to
prevent an embarrassing situation.
Your very generous reception Of
me tonight" remarked the president.
makes me feel very much more
comfortable than ! did this after
noon. for example, in another part
of the city where the tender sensibil-
tiles of one of the assemblymen from
this county led him to conclude 1t an
affront to his PERSONA uIgnIty, that
| should, without his invitation have
come into the county over which his
Influence so beneticently presided
You do not make me feel that /
come with so cold welcome and to
face so direct a rebuke. / wish that
YOU might do two opposite things to-
night | wish that you might forget
that | am President of the United

right to expect. For | am not the

am the servant of the people acting
through the democratic party which
has now undertaken some of the
most solemn obligations that a party
ever undertook, for 1t has stepped
forward at a moment of universal
disappointment and said:
No More Disapponlments.
I'VE pledge you our honor as
men and as patriots that you shall
not be disappointed again.
This is the situation in which the
democratic party finds itself, and in
the midst of this situation there are
particular promises which the demo-
cratic party. for example, in New
Jersey has given the people. one Of
the things which has made thought
