ASBURY PARK. N. j., Sept. 21.-
Great Importance is attached by the
Democrats to President Wilson's ad-
dress next Monday afternoon before
the National Grain Dealers associa-
tion at Baltimore. What the presi-
dent has to say on that occasion and
the reception accorded his speech,
they believe. will have strong In
fuence in two OF the most important
voting strongholds OF the country.
The grain dealers are in intimate
touch with the farmers. They also
are among the foremost shippers OF
the country who, the railroads say
will have TO pay the freight" as a
result OF President Wilson forcing
the eight-hour legislation through
congress.
Approaching the Importance OF
the address. the president already
has begun work on it II is likely
to show what the administration has
done and proposes TO do for bust
ness and what II has done for the
farmer.
The president also is expected to
open up at Baltimore for the first
time in a counter-attack upon Re
publican Candidate Hughes on the
eight-hour issue.
Since the news has gone forth
that the president will accept sev.
eral western speaking invitations,
the executive Offices here have been
literally swamped with appeals from
cities seeking a plac among the
chosen few.
Before accepting any OF the invi-
tations before him the president is
making careful study OF the ma.

 Williams played his usual cratic ganie, netting and outing the ball al times like novice and then taking the lead again with marvellous side line shots and backhand cross court strikes that left the champion fiat footed. Williams winning advantage lay in his service and superiority ot placement.
 Murray defaulted to Washburn after a hard four-set match had been played Murray was suffering from a lack of sleep due to an all night vigil at the bedside of his wife, who is i'll.
