WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Ar
mistice Day pilgrimage next Sunday
to the home of former President
Woodrow Wilson is expected to be
of far greater Importance than eithe-
er of its two predecessors and may
outline very clearly the position OF
the Democratic party on interna-
tional affairs in the campaign of
1924.
Jerseyites will take a very promi-
nent part in the excursion if the
present plans of the committee on
arrangements are carried out. Gov
ernor George Silzer, Senator Edward
/. Edwards and a number of other
prominent Jersey Democrats have
been invited and are expected to be
present.
Strong influences are at work to
have Senator Carter Glass of Virgin
ia act as the spokesman for the
throng that will call at -Mr. VIII
sons home.
In view of the impending nation
al campaign the Wilson pilgrimage
assumes unusual interest and i'm
portance this year. 1t is expected
also to serve as an outline for party
policies to be more fully set forth
in addresses at the Jackson Day
banquet which will be revived with
a big gathering of Democratic party
leaders here in January.
The leaders and the voters of both
parties will undoubtedly anXiously
await the views expressed by the
spokesman for the pilgrims and the
response of the invalid former Pres
ident to note if international events
of the past four years have effected
any change in the views of the VII
son Democrats toward the treaty of
Versailles, and to weigh what will
likely be the position of the Demo-
cratic party towards the League of
Nations and the World Court in the
campaign of next year.
1t Is planned to have present the
governors of the states of Woodrow
Wilson'S birth and adoption, Cover
nor Trinkle of Virginia. and Silzer
of New Jersey, respectively. and
many prominent leaders from all
over the country.
Joseph p Tumulty of New Jer-
sey, close friend of Mr.. Wilson, be-
fore he came to the White House
and his secretary while he was the
President entered heartily into the
arrangements for the Armistice Day
Pilgrimage when he was approached.
He surprised members of the COM
mittee on arrangements. who ap-
preached him cautiously on account
of the breach of friendship between
him and his former chief. by declar-
ing his anxiety to take part and eX-
pressing his wish to furnish band
for the occasion. There was no
band at either of the two former
pilgrimages; but last year lady
sang n song.
AS alternates in the event Senator
Glass is unable to deliver the ad-
dress for the pilgrims, the names
OF John w. Davis of West Virginia,
and David L. Houston of Texas, are
being mentioned, Mr.. Davis is be-
ing mentioned quite prominently as
candidate for the presidency on
the Democratic ticket next year. Mr..
Houston was secretary of agricul-
ture and later secretary of the trea-
sury in Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and he
is held in high regard by his former
chief.
Mr.. Wilson will make II quite clear
It is believed, that his views towards
the League of Nations have under
White House. "war invalid" That
he will moderate his views in the
interest of party success next year
or because of the changes that have
occurred in Europe is considered
very doubtful.
The three men under consideration
to voice the views of the pilgrims,
Glass, Davis and Houston, have been
warm sympathizers with the posi-
ton of Woodrow Wilson before he
left the White House and have not,
it is believed, materially changed
their views since.
Arrangements have been made to
broadcast a ten-minute address by
Mr.. Wilson to hundreds of thousands
of listeners all over the world on
Saturday night, November 10, on the
eve of Armistice Day. The former
Presidents subject will be "The
Significance of Armistice Day."
