WILSON PROSPECTS AT HOME

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Slr-IIaving been advised by President
Wilson, in his Shadow Lawn acceptance
OF presidential nomination that I'VE
must assess the past In order 20 correctly
judge the future" / have applied my ex-
perlence gained under direction OF court
OF justice In making political assessments
OF the past In order to correctly Judge
the future, and my latest diversion is in
making an assessment of the primary vote
cast In New Jersey on September 2e in
order to correctly Judge the result OF the
general election in that State on Novem-
Der Z. This is the result Of my assessment
and appraisal:
In the presidential election Of 1912 in
New Jersey Woodrow Wilson received
l7S2s9 votes, Colonel Roosevelt, 14b,41O,
and w. III. Taft, SS,S3b votes. The vote cast
for Wilson was 43 per cent of the total TO
81 per cent cast for the Progressive and Re-
publican candidates.
The total vote cast at the primary cleo
tion was approximately 252,247, OF which
l73,55S votes were cast for the three Re-
publican candidates for Governor and
1859 for the Democratic candidates for
United States Senator--69 per cent for the
Republican and 81 per cent for the Demo-
cratic party candidates, at the primary
election of September 7.
Estimating that the total vote for PresI-
dent In New Jersey in November next will
be 4l3,b34 votes-the same as II was in
19i2-it is likely TO be considerably less
and Rppraisng the vote at the general
election at the same ratio OF percentage
as that cast on September 26, II would give
Mr. Hughes, for President; Mr.. Edge, for
Governor and Mr.. Frellnghuysen, for Sem
ator, total Of 2s5.33s votes. to 12s.19s
for Mr.. Wilson. for President Mr. Witt
pen, for Governor, and Mr.. MARITIME, for
Senator. My assessment of the primary
vote Of September seems TO make the APP
praisal 1919 Republican majority In No
vember.
Who wins the foremost foemans life,
That party conquers In the strife"
The first blood won in this strife was
the Congressional baseball match when Re
publican Congressman defeated Democratic
members for the first time in three years
The second victory was In the great con-
test in Maine, where one-half OF the Presi-
dents Cabinet and Senator's James, OF
Kentucky; Lewis. OF Illinois: Underwood,
OF Alabama Williams, OF Mississippi bat
tied royalty for Wilson. and the third and
most humiiiating defeat for Democracy was
at the New Jersey primary,

DIsAGREEs WITH LLOYD GEORGE

TO the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sr-Germany and her allies are virtually
fighting the cause OF the American people
against the colossally evil and corrupt in
fiuence Of Wall street and, incidentally. all
the reactionary and extortionate theories
and customs which that community so per-
sistently and heedlessly represents. For
overwhelmingly evident and irrefutable Is
the fact that a conclusive triumph for Eng
land and her allies would be logically
bound 10 tighten and make still more des-
potic the grip of high finance upon the life
OF our Republic. But a victorious ending
OF the European conflict 10 the credit Of the
Germanic combine OF arms unquestlonably
means definite beginning for the economic
emancipation of America and ultimately
similar unfettering for the entire world.
The extensively interlocked and reptilishly
enslaving financial systems OF England and
America are most assuredly, as brutal and
villainous and immeasurably more con-
tsmptible in their concealed treatment of
humanity than is the exposed milltarlsm of
the whole OF Europe.
That is my answer 10 David Lloyd George
IN his latest badly preposterous statement
that old England is actually battling for
justice. The invarlable arrogance and con-
summate thievery OF modern England in
the Transvaal and In ireland, In India and
In Egypt substantially refute the gllded
essence and powerfully proclaim the utter
fallacy Of such a contention.

DOUBTS AMERICAN NEUTRALITY

sir-Regardless OF our one.sided Amer
lean neutrality there are still few In this
country in whom the spirit of l776 Is not
dead. and who would put up vigorous
kick against being again tied 10 mother
England's apron strings.
i say one-sided neutrality advisedly. For
II, as Mr.. Hawkins says his friends In Eng
land are urging him TO do all he possibly
can 20 keep the present Administration In
power. no further evidence is needed TO
show that Il is regarded as favorable TO
the interests of the Allies. Furthermore.
II men like Bruce Hawkins and others who
stand by him know what they are talking
about when they tell Us that there are mill
lions OF men In America, among whom are
mentioned personally some OF our most
noted men, who favor sentiments similar to
those expressed by them, then this country
would face a situation In war with Eng
land fully as unenviable and as dangerous
as any that has been portrayed to US In
war with Germany because OF the hyphen-
ated Germans; as In preaching loyalty
to England they evidently are not even hy-
phennted but are Englishmen In toto. ana,
