WILSON URGES PEOPLE
OF ELIZABETH TO UNITE
TO ALTER JURY SYSTEM

take out OF the hands Of a man sus-
pected OF being a criminal the right
to choose those who were to deter
mine whether he was a criminal or
not. And there was not any expecta-
ton of Justice in the County OF At
lantic until we were able to take
things out of the hands of the people
who control the choice of the grand
juries. Have you heard of no parallel
IN other eases2 Have you not known
other sheriffs who, If not criminal
themselves, have been used to shield
criminals? Do you not know that the
office that the machine instinctively
fights for and is ready to forget any
other object in order to get, is the
sheriff's office. For 1t Is the citadel
Of power and of immunity from pun
ishment. There is not a county in
this State in which the old kind of
machine would not give up any time
the effort to elect representatives to
the Assembly or a Governor in order
to keep control of the sheriff's office?
Why are they so in love with the
sheriff's office? Because from that is
stretched out sor by that Is withheld

the bar OF Justice If you want to
strike at the centre and heart of cor

We want a Grand Jury that would

There's a Game of Hide and
Seek Played With Jerseyites'

TT was said before that conference
that no particular form of jury
change had been agreed upon. Well,
we agreed upon form at that con-
ference by a very substantial ma
jority; and then we did not get 1t IN
that form or any other. There Is a
game Of hide-and-seek being played
with the people Of New Jersey They
had better take the bandages from
their eyes and catch these fellows
in the open. Until you have jury re-

Only Few Counties of State
Where Sheriffs Not Trusted

There are only few counties of
this State where the sheriff's office
is not at present to be trusted, and
those are the very counties where
there is most desired that there
should be a referendum. would
be willing to have a referendum on
any question If it were a genuine
referendum. I am willing to leave
the thing to the vote of the people
IL you will disinterestedly choose the
men who are going to count the votes.
But it Is a beautiful circle. In the
counties where the sheriff is con-
trolled. and the Grand Jury is
through him controlled, the polls are
controlled by the gentlemen who con-
troll the sheriff, and through the
sheriff control the Grand Jury, and
the referendum is counted by these
gentlemen to ascertain whether they
are to keep that hold or to lose 1t.
have never with my eyes open gone
into an open and shut game. In the
very counties where this thing cries
out to be done there Is danger that
the people will be cheated. no matter
how long they speak. For, gentle
men, do not suppose that the Geran
act and the electoral changes which
we made during the last two years
are going to secure to you the proper
reckoning OF the votes which you
cast. They will secure those to you
only IL the men through whom these
things are done are honest and if
the disinterested men amongst them
must meet an honest Grand Jury
and account for it, No government
is any more honest or safe than the
men who administer it. And there
fore you want to be very sure that
the machinery of ascertaining
whether they are honest or not Is
machinery which is not controlled
nv themselves.
NOW, there is another thing that
this same body of men is working
against. They do not want us to
have an interior and intimate look at
our own Constitution. They do not

ingmen Of this State believe that the
men now trying to run the politics
Of this State are better friends Of
theirs than I am. The workingmen
Of New Jersey are very astute men;
they know that their fortunes are
linked with the fortunes OF the rank
and file Of their fellow citizens, and
anything that touches the rank and
file of our citizenship touches at the
very sorest spot Of all. the great toll
ing masses of our people. The whole
study Of government as I look at it
is a study Of the means Of enabling
those who bear the heat and burden
Of the day also to carry the conquest
and glory of the day when 1t comes
to the declaration of their rulership
and the setting up of standards Of
Righteousness and Judgment.

Constitution OF New Jersey lie IN most
respects a very admirable instrument.
but 1t has got some splendid hiding
places in it. II has got some fine
rigidities about It that make it i'm
possible to render II elastic In the
hands Of the people. It has some fine
methods of holding power of at such
arms length from the people that
they may look at it and admire It,
but never venture to touch 1t.
There are all sorts of irresponsible
tiles in that instrument. There are
all sorts of distributions of power,
which make 1t impossible to tell who
did the particular thing that you
want to get at. There are all sorts
OF independent power set UP which
make it necessary that you should
catch a hundred men in order to cor
raj a single evil. Most of the Con-
stitutions,of the States of this Union
now, for example, give the Governor
of the State the right to remove Of
ficials in the several counties of the
State who are VIGOROUSLY failing TO
perform their duties, but the Cover
nor of New Jersey has no such power.
A sheriff in New Jersey may abso-
lutely ignore the Governor Of the
State, when the Governor of the State
can prove to anybody but the Grand
Jury, which that sheriff himself
chooses, that he is defying the law
at every turn of his administration;
and you have got in order to clarity
the responsibilities and so get your
hand upon the control of the State
you have got to alter the balances Of
power and the correlations of al
thority in this great commonwealth.

lation.

There are more people in Union
County than there are in some of
II . southern counties of the State,
and Union County ought to have
more Senators than county smaller

do not want to determine that
point. Well, dare say you don't;
but wouldn't you rather determine
that point than not get a look at
your Constitution at all? Don't you
want to look in2 Don't you want a
chance to determine some of the most
essential characteristics of your own

This State from Suspicion"

SO by every subtle method of set
ting honest men against one another,
Il as well as binding dishonest men
with one another, it is made impossi-

gard to persons in the great common
wealth OF New Jersey. What do we

IFrom a stan Correspondent.1

ELIZABETH. n. j., May D.
President Wilson spoke at the Sec
ond Regiment Armory in this city
last night, following his visit to New
ark He spoke both for court-ar-
pointed jury commissions and for a
constitutional convent III which
should be composed Of the same num-
her of delegates from each county.
One of the features of the Presi-
dents speech, which was heard by
about 5000 men and women, was his
"affectionate warning to Assembly
man Hugh J. Mclaughlin. of this
county. Referring to Mr.. McLough-
lin, who voted for referendum
jury bill at the last legislative ses-
sion, Mr.. Wilson said:
There is one representative from
this county In the Legislature for
whom I have not only a deep respect
but great affection, because be-
lieve he is an absolutely straight and
cause Of the people.
He has been voting against jury
reform and It must be because be
does not realize that jury reform is
the cause OF the people. I give him
affectionate warning that there are
deep men who do not love the people
who are trying to use him.
Mr.. Mclaughlin Expresses
Resentment at Wilson's Words
Mr.. Mclaughlin. when seen after
the meeting. was disposed to resent
the Presidents remark that he was
"being used, and said he would have
1t out with the President tomorrow.
He intimated that anything the
President had said or might say
would not change his mind or his
vote in the matter Of a jury bill
Assemblyman Griffin, who has stood
!, previously--and said he would con-
Afinue to do so-for a referendum jury
bill, had nothing to say last night,
but it is not believed that his attitude
is changed.
The President also made the state
ment here that some members of the
Assembly were being used as CATS
paws. Before he spoke, Mayor Mrav-
lag opened the meeting, and intro
duced Judge James c. Connolly, of
this county, and Prosecutor Martin
P. Devlin, of Mercer County.
The Presidents attack upon City
Counsel James r. Nugent. OF New
ark, at the meeting here was open
and bitter,
President Wilson said in part:
II wish that 1 had come upon less
anxious and less weighty errand. 1t
would have been very delightful to
me IL I could have come merely to
compare notes with you as to public
I affairs and to congratulate you upon
the way in which your own affairs
and ours have been. going. / am
sorry that 1 should have had to come
back to speak words of criticism.
And yet I must say it is rather ia
miliar to have the warpaint on in
New Jersey. A very dignified and,
believe, very distinguished fellow
citizen of mine. of one of the Indian
tribes of the West, gave me the most
gorgeous 1ieaddress the other day /
have ever seen, and thought of
bringing 1t with me. for under
stood that it was intended to go with
warpaint.

"And What Is 1t That We Are
on the Warpath For?" He Asks

. And what is it that we are on the
walpath for? Isn't 1t singular
thing in your conception, my fellow
citizens that we should always be
fighting to get and retain control of
our own affairs? Doesn't 1t seem to
you odd that when we give a dis
tinct mandate to legislative body
we have afterwards to gather in
crowds of thousands to remind them
! what the mandate was? Isn't 1t sin
gular that our friends from far and
near must come together in public
concourse to make protest against
what their own chosen representa-
tives are doing? There are some cir
cumstances about the present situa-
ton which confuse and puzzle me.
Becarse some very honest and up
right men are allowing themselves to
be used as catspaws for men whose
control has already debauched the
politics Of this State and is now
about to debauch 1t again. IL you do
not assert your sovereign rights.

people of New Jersey did not consci-
entiously vote for jury reform at the
last election. do not consider that
a very high compliment to the people
of New Jersey. because they voted
