STRONG WILSON
OPPOSITION IN NEW
JERSEY.

Washington, Jan. 10. Word
comes from New Jersey that
committee of ten Democrats-hve
Wilson men and FIVE anti-Wilson
men-has been formed to discuss
and, possible, to dispose OF The
problems which divide the party
III that State. The equal division
OF the committee membership 10
taken here to indicate that the
Presidents opponents at home
are as numerous as his friends;
and it bears out the reports
which have been coming to Wash.
ington from New Jersey for some
time past.
This unique arrangement was
made by the Presidents Secret.
AIRY, Mr.. Tumulty, who used
part OF his Christmas holidays
IN a trip to Trenton to proclaim
the glad tidlngs OF peace among
New Jersey Democrats. His words
fell on deaf ears. Two factions
were too full of fight to be paci-
fed ,-and. in addition, the anti
Wilson party are looking beyond
the election of next fall. They
frankly express their doubts of
Democratic success and they are
looking out for Number One.
Wilson will not be reelected, they
argue; he may not even be renom-
mated. Alter his defeat he will
go to New York to live, engaging
III literary work-unless he decides
to go into the jewelry business in
Washington. At any rate, he
will be through with New Jersey
bat we shall still be here. There
will continue to be some local
political spoiIs worth having.
There will be some Democratic
mayors, some Democratic mem.
bers ofthe legislature. some Demo-
cratic appointments to state
boards, the courts, and the like.
I he plums will go to whoever
controls the party organization,
and we intend to be those FORUM
ate persons. If we surrender to
the Wilson crowd now. they will
control the party after Wilson's
defeat, and they will enjoy the
fruits of political manipulation
which may tall to the minority
party.
MIR Tumulty argued diligently
to enforce the Presidents author
lty, but he was unable to con-
vince the recalcitrants that Wilson
is to be II second-time winner.
Accordingly, the most he could
accomplish was the formation of
this unique arrangement of Il
political "holding company,
with the stock split fifty fifty be-
tween Wilson and his enemies.
The New Jersey delegates at ST.
Louis will be tor Wilson, of fcCurse,
it he is a candidate-but the Demo-
cratic party in New Jersey is no
longer for Wilson.

METROPOLITAN LINERS
WILL START TUESDAY
Palatial Steamers to Make Daily Trips
Between New York and
Boston.

The Eastern Steamship Corporation be-
gins the daily summer passenger service
Of the Metropolitan Line between New
York and Boston Tuesday, placing in
commission the twin-screw steel express
steamships Massachusetts, and Bunker
Hill, which are among the finest mer-
chant vessels flying the American flag
and are said to be the fastest ships in
the coastwise service. They make the
run of 337 miles from Pier 49, North
River in fifteen hours. leaving New York
daily at p. m. and reaching India wharf
Boston, at the following morning. The
daily trips in each direction are made
on the same schedule
The inauguration of this splendid
steamship service some years ago gave
to the business men of New York and
Boston the means of making the trip
direct from city to city without change
and without encroaching upon business
hours. For this reason, the steamships
Yale and Harvard which originally ran
on these trips, speedily became very pop
ular, and though they were considered
very notable achievement in shipbuiId-
ing, their passenger accommodate tions
were not always adequate to the de-
mand. In the new ships Massachusetts
and Bunker Hill this difficulty is over
come, and there is ample passenger ca
pacity for the service.
The ships are luxuriously fitted up and
every provision is made for the passen-
gers comfort and convenience. On each
Of the ships the staterooms are large
well-hghted and well-ventilated Electric
fans are installed in the inside rooms
There are also number Of suites of
rooms with bathrooms.
The management prides itself partic-
ularly upon the excellence of the dining
service. The dining saloons are large
and elegantly appointed and the bill of
fare represents the best there is in the
markets Of New York and Boston. pre-
pared by experienced chefs to meet the
policy of the corporation and to pro-
vide for its patrons the best dining serv-
ice to be had en- route. Equally with
comfort and enjoyment, the passengers
