Sea. Girt, N. J., July 6. That the
tariff will overshadow all other is
sues in the coming campaign was the
positive, declaration made here today
by Governor Wilson.
"Undoubtedly the tariff Is the chief
object of interest to the people In the
United States," said Wilson. "It Is
Interlaced with every other issue. In
fact it is at the very heart of every
other question; -A great many and
nearly all. In fact "trust" questions
have their origin in the tariff."
Wilson took occasion today to com
ment on "the uestlon of campaign
contributions" and made it plain that
. he will carefully scrutinize all contri
butions to the democratic campaign
fund and said today that money was
coming unsolicited fom all parts of
the United States.
"I have had dozen of contributions"

said the governor, "which ranged in
y amounts from $5.00 to $100.00. This
" came entirely unsolicited which Is my
' Idea of the way the campaign funds
' should come."
