Tumulty, grrew out of each other and were connected with eacn other in a way that made them a popular treatise on self-government. He used no technical Jargon and none of the stereotyped bombast of the usual political campaign. He had a theme which he wanted u expound to the people of New Jersey, which theme was the nature and character of free government, how it had been lost In New Jersey through the com plicated involvements of Invisible gov ernment, manipulated from behind the scenes by adroit representatives of the corporate Interests working in conjunction with ths old political ma chines; how under this clever manipu lation legislators had ceased to repre sent the electorate and were, as he called them, only "errand boys" to do the bidding of the real rulers of New Jersey, many of whom were not even residents of the state, and how free government could bs restored to New Jersey through responsible leadership. He was making an application to prac tical politics of the fundamental prin ciples of responsible government which he had analysed in his earlier writings. Including the book on "Con gressional Government." Something New Discovered. Beneath the eoniyete campaign is sues In New Jersey he saw the fun damental principles of Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights and the Dec laration of Independence and. the Con stitution of the I'nited States. His trained habit of thinking through concrete facts to the underlying prin ciple was serving him well In this campaign: his trained habit of clear exposition in the Princeton lecture hall was serving him well. People heard from him political speaking of a new kind; full of weighty Instruc tion and yet so simply phrased and so aptly Illustrated that the simplest minded could follow the train of rea soning; profound in political philoso phy and yet at every step humanized by one who believed government the most human of things because con cerned with the happiness and wel fare of Intlivi duals. Sometimes he spoke In parables, homely anecdotes so applied that all could understand, sometimes he was caustic when he commented on the excessive teal of corporations for strict constitutionalism, meaning thereby only such legislation and Ju dicial interpretation as would defend their property rights how they had secured those rlchts being a question not discussed by these gentlemen; sometimes, though not frequently, there would be put pie patches of elo quence, particularly when descanting on the long struggle of the inarticu late masses for political representa tion. One of the surprises of the cam puign to those who had known him as an orator of classic eloquence was the comparative infrequency of rhetorical periods. It was as if he were now too deeply engaged with actualities to chcuat and polish his sentences. Anecdotes Always Apt. Of the many anecdotes which he told during the campaign, one of his favorites was of the Irishman digging a cellar, who, when asked what he was doing, said, "I'm letting the dark ness out." Woodyow Wilson told the people of New Jersey that he was "letting the darkness out" of the New Jersey political situation. "Pitiless publicity" was one of his many phrases coined In the campaign which quickly found currency, not only In New Jersey, but throughout the coun try, for presently the United States at large began to realize that what was going on in New Jersey was symboli cal of the situation throughout the country, a tremendous struggle to re store popular government to the peo ple. Since the founders of the re public expounded tree institutions to the first electorates of this country there had probably been no political campaign which want so directly to the roots of free representative gov ernment and how to get it as that campaign which Woodrow Wilson conducted In New Jersey In the au tumn of 1910. CHAPTER VIII. The Crisis of the Campaign. The crisis of the campaign came when George U. Record, progressive leader In the ranks of the republican party in Hudson county, uttered a ringing challenge to the democratic candidate to debate the Issues of the campaign with him. The challenge contained an alternative proposition that the democratic candidate either meet Mr. Record In Joint debate in va rious parts of the state or that he an swer Certain questions with reference to the control of the democratic party by what Mr. Record called the "old guard." Mr. Record's letter and chal lenge created a profound sensation throughout the state and brought hope and comfort to the ranks of the republican party. Record emphasised the "old guard's" control of the convention at which Wilson was nominated, basing most of hid questions upon this character of political control and openly chal lenging Wilson, ths democratic candi date, to say whether the elements that were dominsnt at Trenton in the con vention would be permitted by him. in case of his election, to Influence his action ss governor. For several days after the letter containing the challenge reached the democratic candidate there was a great dsl of apprehension in the ranks of the democratic party lest the candidate should decide to Ignore the Record challenge, thus giving aid and comfort to the enemies of progressiv es, la the sjsAo, or, oa the other hand, that be would accept it and thus give Mr. Record, who was a most resourceful public speaker and a lead ing exponent of liberalism In the state, a chance to outwit him In pub lic debate. The letter practically de manded of the democratic candidate that he repudiate, not only the "old guard," but the active management of his campaign, which had been taken over by James R. Nugent, one of the leaders of Essex county, who daily accompanied the democratic candidate on hi tour of the state. Challenge la Answered. For a time it looked as if Mr. Wil son voud ignore entirely the Record challenge. It was plainly evident from all sides that what appeared to be his reluctance to take a stand in the matter had turned support away at a time when the sentiment of the stare was rapidly flowing his way. I' accompanied the candidate on an automobile tour of the state and In our little talks I sought to find out, in a diplomatic way. Just how his mind was running on the Record chal lenge and how he intended to meet It. In the automobile with us on this tour was James R. Nugent, then the state chairman or the democratic committee. I ascertained that even he knew nothing about the Prince- tonian's attitude toward the Record challenge. A significant remark which the candidate dropped "between meet ings" gave me the first Intimation that the democratic candidate was, to use a baseball expression, "on to the Record curve, and that he would an swer him In so emphatic and over whelming a fashion that the repub lican campaign would never entirely recover from the blow. One day while we were seated In the tonneau of the automobile discuss ing the Record challenge Mr. Wilson pointed his finger at Jim Nugent and satdt very significantly: "I intend to reply to Mr. Record, but I am sure that It will hurt the feelings of this fine fellow." A few days later, without consult ing anyone, Mr. Wilson replied to Record's challenge. It was a definite, clean-cut, unequivocal repudiation of the old guard s control of tne demo cratic party and a convincing answer to every question tnat naa own pui m him. It rang true. Old line repub licans, after reading this conclusive reply, shook their heads and said, re gretfully, "Damn Record; the cam paign's over." Crisis Safely Passed. It was plainly evident that the cri sis of the campaign bad been safely passed and that Mr. Wilson was on bis way to the governorship. In his challenge Mr. Record had addressed to Dr. Wilson IS questions. Mr. Wilson's reply was in part as follows: Tou wish to know what my relations would be with the democrats whose power and Influence you fear, should 1 be elected sovernor, particularly in auch Important matters aa appointments and the alsnlns of bills, and 1 am very glad to tell you. If elected 1 shall not either in the matter of appointments to oftice. or aasent to legislation, or la shaping any part of the policy of my administration, aubmlt to the dictation of any peraon, or persons, "apeclai Interests," or orrantsationa. 1 will always welcome sdvlce and sugges tions from any citizen, whether boss, lead er, organisation man, or plain citizen, and I shall confidently seek the advice of in fluential and diaintereated men representa tive of the communities and disconnected from political organizations entlrejy; but all suggestions and all advice will be con sidered on Its merita and no additional weight wilt be given to any man's advice because of his exercising, or supposing that he exercises, some sort of political influence or control. I should deem my self forever disgraced should I. in even the allg-htest degree, co-operate in any auch system. I regard myself as pledged to the regeneration of the democratic party. Mr. Record also inquired: "Do you admit that the boss system exists as I have described it? If so, how do you propose to abolish it?" Mr. Wilson said: Of course X admit It. Its existence Is notorious. I have made it my business for many years to observe and understand that system, and i hate It as thoroughly aa I understand It. You are quite right in saying that the system la bipartisan: that it constitutes the most dangerous condition in the public life of our state and nation today; and that it has vir tually, for the time being. destroyed representative government and In its place set up a government of privilege. 1 would propose to abolish It by the reforms suggested In the democratic platform, by the election to office of men who will re fuse to submit to it and who will lend all their energies to break! It up, and by pitiless publicity. , Governor Not Cornered. Still hoping to corner the governor, Mr. Record named the bosses; In referring to the board of guardians, do you nean such republican leaders as Batrd. Murphy, Kean and Stokes 7 Where in do the relations to the special Interests of such leaders differ from the relations to the same interests of such democratic leaders as Smith, Nugent and Davis? Mr. Wilson, answering this, said: I refer to the men you name. They (meaning Batrd. Murphy. Kean, Stokea) differ from the others in this, that they axe In control of the government of the state while the others are not, and can not be If the present democratic ticket is elected. In reply to Mr. Record's question, "Will you Join me in denouncing the democratic 'overlords' as parties to a political boss system ' " Dr. Wilson replied: "Certainly I will Join you, or anyone of either party, in denouncing anyone who attempts any outrages against the government and public morality." At this time I was in close touch with the managers of the Wilson cam paign, Including Smith, Nugent and Davis. While they admired the fine strategy that lay back of the demo crattlc candidate's reply to Mr. Rec ord, they looked upon It as a mere gesture upon the part of Mr. Wilson and scorned to believe that his reply to Mr. Record constituted a challenge to their leadership. They did not show any evidences of dismay or chagrin at the courageous attitude taken by Dr. Wilson. They simply smiled and shrugged their shoulders and said: "This is a great campaign play."

SM00T PLAN CONSIDERED Fate of Measure in Senate Vet Un certain Several Amendments to Bill Are Adopted. WASHINGTON. D. C. Nor. 2. While deploring the effort to put a sales tax through the senate at pres ent. Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee disclosed today that It Vas his plan to bring in a sales tax In connection with the soldier's bonus bill, which he said would be reported during the regular session. Earlier Mr. Fordney, Representatives Green of Iowa and Longworth of Ohio had informed senate leaders that under no condition would the house agree to a sales tax at this time. With proponents of the Smoot plan claiming only five votes less than a majority for the sales tax, some re publican senate leaders thought the fate of the proposition would be de cided by discussions in the senate. The latest canvass of the senate by leaders was said to have shown 30 republican senators for the sales, 12 against It and 12 doubtful, with six absent or not polled. Two democrats were reported as fa voring this form of taxation, with three others doubtful. Proceeding with the tax bill, the senate completed consideration of the majority committee report and took up changes proposed by senators. A third successive night session was held. Changes made in the bill included addition of a 6 cents a gallon tax on syrup used in the manufacture of car bonated beverages, the tax on which had been fixed at 2 cents, and the re duction from 5 to 3 cents a pound In the rate on carbon4c acid gas. Another amendment adopted would exempt from the admission tax charges made by community center picture shows. Under a majority amendment to the Insurance section agreed on. mutual Insurance companies other than life companies would be taxed on net In come as computed under the present law, while old-line insurance com panies, other than life, would be taxed on the net income from investment and underwriting. JAPANESE REACH CAPITAL (Continued From First Pa ge . ) em powers obtaining a dominancy in China to the exclusion of Japan. Italy's Support Pledged. During the Washington conference. Italy "will never hesitate to give all her support to any proposal which may eliminate future conflicts and as sure peace," Senator Schanxer, presi dent of the Italian delegation, said in a statement tonight. "We feel convinced." he added, "that the conference will reach a substantial conclusion and that the friendly re lationship between the United State and Italy will be consecrated by even closer links of friendship. "When it was necessary to defend her national rights and to fight for liberty and Justice, Italy proved to be able to stand the hardest moral and material sacrifices and to fight until the day of victory. But the Italian people are sincerely peace-loving. Our country wishes to live on good terms with everybody and wishes to devote all her strength to her economical re construction. "Peace is for Italy the supreme ideal; not only peace with her neigh bors, but also the general peace of the world. Italy wants, above all, to overcome the economic consequence of the war, to develop again her pro duction and her trad and to re establish her financial situation. Of course. Italy has the duty of safe guarding her national interests and her security, but this does not prevent her from being opposed to any new war." Conferences Will Continue. '. Conferences between the American delegation to the conference on arms limitation and technical advisers will continue even after the conference has opened. It was Indicated today at the state department, where the American dele gates were in session with Secretary Denby and the naval advisers on technical matters, that there would probably be no termination of this discussion of naval armament matters or of any other specific matters, the meetings going on as occasion re quired even after the conference opens. So far the American deleates are understood to have concerned them selves primarily with naval armament matters, no other subjects such as those involving a possible association of nations plan or a world court hav ing been considered. In studying naval matters the delegates are un derstood to be preparing to take the initiative and make a substantial of fer in the conference looking to re duction of naval programmes. . The first meeting of the armament conference now Is scheduled for 10:34 A. M., November 12, In the auditorium of the huilding erected by the Daugh ters of the American Revolution. Point Not Yet Settled. It was not Indicated whether the powers Invited to discuss Pacific and far eastern questions also wonld be asked to sit at the opening session of the armament conference, but It was assumed that this would not be the case, although delegations from China, Belgium, Portugal and Holland would be invited to be present as spectators or guests oft honor.
