TRENTON, Oct 27.--Seeretafy of
War Lindley M. Garrison emphasized
the national and worldwide results of
the coming election i'm his maiden
political speech at a Democratic mass
meeting in the Trenton Theatre last
night.
Republican and Progressive candi-
oates were described by Mr. Garrison
as "unorganized snipers, taking pot
shots at us from ambush and cover. :
ue added that They continue to
point with pride and view with
alarm: but the pride is self-eentred
and Individual, and the alarm is over
their chances for success
In his general criticism of the Re-
publican party Mr.. Garrison said II
lacked form and body. leadership and
principles. He referred to the 1neV-
table result of its policy as wholly
one of negation."
Their whole campaign is one oil
whispers and innuendo,' he went on.
They speak slightingly of the Presl-
aent,s handling of the Mexican PROB

In paying tribute to President VIII
son. Secretary Garrison SAID:
Certain things are indispen6apie
and are not, in fact even at'empteu
TO be disputed by our auVersa 49,,
one of them is that no more hsh-
minded, clear-visioned, strong hearted
pnblic servant ever sat in the White
aouse than President Wilson. An
nther one is that the Democratic
marty under his leadership has de-
voted itself increasingly, couraseousiy
and unselfishly to the public interest.
And to this can be added with non
eatv and truth that 1t has done TINS
without a trace of partyism or par
tisanship. 1t has tried to do the rlght
as it saw the right.
mo one has ever Ventured TO sug-
gest that forces outside the ADMINS
fration have influenced or guided its
deliberations or its actions. No
narionettes have danced before the
public as the strings were pulled by
those who dared not publicly ac-
knowledge their personal participa-
ton in government,
