Princeton President Is Choice, : of New Jersey Democrats for Governor. CHIEF ISSUES ARE THREE Economy or Administration, Equal ity of Taxation and Control of Corporations Int First In. Address of Acceptance. TRENTOX. N. J- Sept. 15. The Dem ocratic state convention today noral nated Dr. Wondrow Wilson, president of Princeton University, for Governor of New Jersey. . Dr. Wilson was nominated - on tne first ballot and received 40 more votes than was necessary to nominate him. He had 747 votes to 373 for Katsenbacn and 20 for Sllber. The platform adopted Is In line with the Democratic platform of three years ago except that It wu more specific , In advocacy of reform measures, In cluding the conferring of rate-making power upon the present public utilities commission. Three Issue Lead. Pr Wilson accepted the nomination and made an address which was highly pleasing to the delegates. After dis cussing the platform. Dr. Wilson said: "There are three great questions be- fore the President, reorganisation and economy In Administration, equaliza tion of taxation and the control of cor porations. "Other important questions are the proper liability of employers, the ques tion of corrupt practices In elections and the question of conservation. Our eystem of Government should not be unnecessarily complicated and elaborate and there should not be too many separate commissions and boards." Corporations State Issue. L)iscu.sing the question of corpora tions, the speaker said: "Corporations should not be favored :n the matter of taxation. The power to regu!ate taxation and fix rates rhoul.l be vested in a public utilities .omnilsslon. The regulation of cor porations is much more the duty of tlie state than the Federal Govern ment." In concluding Dr. Wilson said: "The playing of politics Is to be dep recated. Measures which have for tlifir object the betterment of our con dition should be conceived In the larg est spirit and urged by leadens who are statesmen and not demagogues." The platform as agreed upon by the state committee provides for a public utility commission, with rate-making power: favors an employers" liability law "to meet the just demands of la bor": favors the extension of the pri mary election laws to all nominations: limit the campaign contributions of ' candidates, and requires the publica tion of campaign expenses.

Sept. 16. In an ad dress at the Southwestern State Fair here this afternoon Governor C. N. Has kell delivered what he termed an "analy sis of the new Colonel Roosevelt." He paid particular attention to the Muskovee town and his own removal from the Democratic National committee, both of which he said originated in po litical moves on the part of Roosevelt for persecution only. Commenting on principles announced by Roosevelt in the latter's Kansas City speech, the Governor endeavored to show the former President insincere, and said he had suffered an entire change of thought since his Presidential term ex pired. Of Roosevelt's comment on the t'nlted States Supreme Court ho said: "Is It building for the welfare of our country when leaders of public thought breed lack of respect or encourage con tempt for our great Institutions?" He said Roosevelt had stopped prosecu tions before the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect Paul Morton. He asserted that H. M. Daugherty, a Re publican lawyer of Columbus, was In dicted with him in town lot cases, but prosecutioif was stopped by Roosevelt be cause Daugherty was prominent In the party. Closing, the Governor said: "Where he asserts his principles to be clean. Impartial and of the square-deal nature, other facts heretofore related show the certainty of his change of pol icy In those particulars." "T. R. DARES' N0T"--PARKER (Continued Prom First rs and hotly denounced newspapers which, he said, attacked honest public men. Colonel Roosevelt's address waa de livered at the Suffolk County Fair at Rlverhead, L. 1. He rode about 130 miles in an automobile to and from Rlverhead. and spoke to a great crowd on the fairgrounds. The Colonel's expression of "new na tionalism" came at the close of a speech in which he also denounced dis honest corporations, dishonest men of wealth and political bosses. He made no references to the New Tork State political situation. "I have noted a good deal of com ment on my speech on 'new national ism.' " he declared. "All that new na tionalism means Is the application of certain old-time moralities to the changed conditions of today. "I wish to see greater governmental efficiency because we have to deal with a greater business efficiency.. Simple laws are all that axe necessary In small communities, when there is no big business and each man works for himself. When you get masses of wealth gathered together and great corporations developing. conditions then become so changed that there must be an increase In governmental activity to control the wealth for bus iness efficiency. I would not do any wrong to the great corporation, but I don't Hntend to relv on the big corporation's good na ture to see tha the corporation does not do harm against us. I want to see audi control of the wealth now gath ered for business uses as to favor tha honest man who uses the wealth gen uinely for the service of the public and to make the dishonest man feel that he has to do what Is right: and If he does not feel It we shall see to It that he does. "That Is my whole creed. That Is all there Is In It. There Is no revolu tion In It. There is no appeal to mob ru'e. On tne contrary.

Just as whenever I have the power I will Join with those that see to It that the corrupt man of wealth Is good not because he likes It, but' because he has to be." Colonel Roosevelt spoke with even more than customary earnestness. His words were received with cheers. "I now want to speak to you ns citl sens In the great problems that concern all of us. I think every cltlxen of a free democracy ought to distrust above all others the public man whose deeds do not square with bios words. "Tfiat haa two sides. It has to do with the politician who makes promises that he does not keep, and it has to do with newspapers that say what they know Is not true. Mark Twain Bald that there are 869 different kinds of lies, but the only one which was authoritatively for bidden was that of bearing false witness against your neighbor. There are one or two metropolitan dallies which would do well to print that at the head of the columns, and then try to live up to it. I withhold- their names, but omission is easily supplied. "There are two prime difficulties In getting good government. One arises from the dishoneat politician. I think the corrupt politician no worse an enemy of the people than the man who lies about the honest public servant. The damage he does is to the public, in so confusing the public by attacking the men who are honest that the public ceased to be able to recognise and to war against men who are dishonest. Such a man Is of the greatest advantage to the thief. "The corrupt politician Is no worse than that corrupt politician's mainstay, the newspaper which says that which Is not true about men In public life. Hon esty, truth, courage you need them Just as much In public as in private life." in concluding his speech he urged greater respect for manual labor. As for rich malefactors, he believed that the railway man who gets rich by gambling- in the securities of the road he operates In trust for his stockholders should be punished, and thta If It Is Impossible to punish him under present laws, the laws should be changed.

LOSS OF PRESTIGE FEARED State Has Been Big Factor In Con great and Does Not Like Idea of Taking Rack Seal Cry of Bluff Will Go Cp. OUEGONIAN NEWS Bl'RBAU, Wash ington, Sept. 15. Word comes from the State of Maine that friends of Senator Halo are urging him to reconsider Mb purpose to retire from Congress at the close of his present term. The attitude of the Maine Senator Is not known: that Is to say, he has had no public announce ment to make since he made -hie retire ment announcement last Spring. It will be recalled that Senator Hale, of Maine, and Senator Aldricb, of Rhode Island, announced, almost simultaneously during the past session, that they would . j r .AtWtinn hilt IllUl WJ LHUUIUBKB ...... would retire from public life upon the expiration of their present terms, .Marcn 4. 1911. Since that announcement It has been generally believed that the two New England Senators were sincere. Friends May Cause Trouble. But the activity of Senator Hale's friends in Maine may lead to trouble for the Republicans In the Fall campaign, especially if the Senator allows himself to be persuaded from his original course, and consents to again run for re-election to the Senate. For it Senator Hale, after solemnly de claring hia intention to retire, turns around and makes another try for the Senate, the cry will go up that Senator Aldrlch was only bluffing when he an nounced his purpose to quit public life. And the minute the country thinks Aldrich Intends to change his mind, there will be trouble. Aldrich. that Instant, will be come a campaign Issue, and one that will be difficult for the Republican party to carry. Hale, on the other hand, is not of himself an issue, and his change of purpose would only be dangerous be cause it would create the Impression that Aldrich also wanted to "come back." Hale Is Bis Man Today. It is but natural that some of the Maine Republicans should urge Senator Hale to reconsider his purpose, for Hale la today Ihe biggest man In the Maine delegation, chairman of the mighty com mittee on appropriations, and one of the big leaders of the Senate. Senator Frye. his colleague, is feeling his advanced years, and is no longer an active repre sentative of the state. There is no Con gressman today from Maine who has achieved distinction in the House of Representatives, so that Hale is really the only member of the delegation who gives the state unusual standing in Con gress. vMaine, though a little state, hss been accustomed to play an Important part in Congress. Not so long since, when both Senators Hale and Frye were In their prime, Maine had a delegation In the House that was known the country over. That delegation consisted of Thomas B. Reed. Speaker; Nelson Dingley. chairman of the ways and means oommittee, anql author of the Dingley tarlfT law; Seth Mil-, fiken. head of the postoftlce committee, and C A. Boutelle, chairman of the naval committee. In those days Maine was strictly "on the map"; it was a factor in Congress, and It was heard from on all occasions. Naturally, with all Its big men gone, but one. it hates to see the last one go. And yet should Hale declare hia pur pose to seek re-election, the cry of Aldrichlsm would most certainly be re vived to the embarrassment of the Re publican leaders.
