In an extemporaneous address pre
ceding the offering for adoption of the
resolutions Mr. Idleman spoke at
some length concerning the work and
life of Mr. Johnson. Referring to the
fact that the deceased had not left
an estate Mr. Idleman said that this
was largely because without any legal
necessity of doing it Mr. Johnson had
in 1893 the year of the great financial
panic spent his entire accumulation
in making up to his clients losses
they had sustained by reason of the
depreciation of securities on which he
had loaned their money. H. B. Nich

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 21 Gov
ernor Wilson proclaimed tonight in
a speech on the New Jersey Senator
ial situation that the only condition
upon which the Democratic party can
gain the confidence of the Nation is
"That it should have itself through
and tErough committed to the pro
gressive policy."
The) Governor spoke here and at

Hoboken in opposition to the candi
dacy' of ex United States Senator
James Smith, Jr.-, and in behalf of
Representative William Hughes for
the office of United States Senator to
be voted on in the state primaries
next Tuesday.
The Governor declared that it was
his- duty as spokesman of the Demo
cratic party in the state to warn the
people that James Smith, Jr., was not
a progressive but a reactionary. He
declared that it was no personal con
test and that if Mr. Smith was his
"dearest friend and held the same
opinions that he does," the Governor
would feel obliged to oppose him.
"I have never been aware of any
personal feeling on my part in any
political contest against any individ
ual," said the Governor. "There is no
man in New Jersey, that I care to
fight or to oppose because of his per
sonal quality. The United States is
not choosing men now by their pri
vate characters merely; it is not
choosing them for their likeability;
it is not choosing them because they
are find) fellows but are choosing
them because they understand the
interests of America at the present
moment. And any man bred ' in
the old school of politics is being re
jected now; not' because he doesn't
hold his convictions honestly, but be
cause he holds convictions from which
the country has turned away."
