NEW LEADER IN POLITICS. Vocjrc? VVTson Hailed as "PcssiKe President." f ffllESSIVE AND A FMER William Bayard Hale Throws v8om Interesting Side Lights on Governor of New Jersey, Who Forced the En actment of the People's Will Into Law, Despite Political Dictators. "Woodrow Wilson, Possible Presi dent." Is the title of nn Interesting urtl cle In the May World's Work by Wll lls'iii r..i,'iir(l linle concerning the per-k-'ih i'li,v in '1 record ot t!i militant governor ol .New Jersey, whose suc cess iu obtaining popular reforms from f.u unwilling legislature has focused upon blm the eyes of progressives of nil stripes and parties throughout the country. Here are some of the things Mr. Hale bus to say about tbe man who muy bo the leader of the fight against President Tuft in 101'J: "There may have been fiercer po litical battles than thut which was now joined between the Democratic old guard of New Jersey and its new governor,' but few have been in their Issue of greater possible significance to tbe political future of tbe United States. "The quiet rentleman who hnd Just emerged from the delectable groves of Princeton academy, his garments odorous with the vapors of Parnassus, bis Hps wet with tbe waters of Helicon this long haired bookworm of a pro fessor wlioy had Just laid his spectacles on his dictionary came down to tbe Trenton stntehouse and 'licked the gang to a frazzle.' - "It appeared that he did know the difference between a seminar and a cnucus, a syllabus and a New Jersey corporation; that he did know Hobo keu and Camden politics protty nearly ' as well as he did his Burke and his Lew, ' . . rv rm asm My Greatest Detective Story Of Modern Times Will be published in the Saturday News Record .

"This is the fact that makes Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson a looming fig ure in the world today. This is tbe reason it was worth while to go to Trenton to observe the advent of a new type of man into tbe arena of politics." Here is the pen picture of Governor Wilson as painted by Mr. Hale: "Dr. Wilson's face is familiar a high forehead, gray eyes, a loug Jaw, a very long Jaw. He instantly recalls Joseph Chamberlain as that British statesman was In other days. Tbe profiles of tbe two might be ex changed , almost without detection, p. Wilson Is of good height, sturdily built, with square shoulders. Ho stands erect and on his feet. If you nnui UJiiuiicimiuB J Vf u UUIV IUU1.

Governor Wil son Is n man of positive opinion, re llnvrcl by nn eager sense of humor. II mores nnd speaks with unfailing volxp. with good naturcd certainty of himself." The story, of Governor Wilson's fight with the boises and the special inter ests Is Interesting told by Mr. Hale, nere la one of the governor's quoted statements, which gives a clear Idea of his attitude on popular government: "Buck of all reform lies the means of getting It Back of the question whnt you want is the question, How nre you going to get it? We are all pretty well agreed, I take it, that cer tain reforms are needed. But we find that the first necessary reform is one that will render us able to get reform. "We- have been calling our govern ment a republic, and we have Wen living under the delusion that it is a representatlveV government That is the theory. But the fact is that we are not living under a representative government We are living under a government of party bosses, who In se cret conference and for their private ends determine what we shall and shall not have. The first, the imme diate thing thnt we have got to do is to restoi1 representative government There has got to be a popular rebel lion for the reconquest and reassump tlon by the people of the rights of the people too long surrendered."

Governor of New jersey ln a Characteristic Attitude. , 1011. by American Press Association. TRIBUTE TO THE TC1LERS. Humble Men Who Labor Are America'e Might, Says Wilson. In one of bis recent addresses Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey paid an eloquent tribute to the tolling millions whose labor has given Amer ica its place among the nations. He said: "You know how It thrills our blood sometimes to see how all the nations of the earth wait to see what America is going to do with her pbwer her physical power her enormous re sources, her enormous wealth, her pow er to levy innumerable armies and build up arummeuts which might con quer the world. "But what has made us strong? The toil of millions of men, the toll of men who do not' boast, who are Inconspic uous, but who live their lives humbly from day to day, and this great body of workers, this great body of toilers, constitutes the might of America. "What is the manifest duty of all statesmanship, therefore? It Is to see that this great body of men who con stitute the strength of America are properly dealt with by the laws and properly nurtured and taken care of by the policy of the country.. "Well, what hinders, what stands in the way? Why, you know that ev erything really worth discussing comes to the question of. the corporations. Now, I do not want you to expect from me any Invective against the corpora tions. I was bred a lawyer, but I do not know how to draw up an indict ment against a whole nation. If ypu will give me the facts I can indict one ninn at a time." LABOR MUST ORGANIZE If It Is to Seoure Justice From Organ ized Capital, Says Woodrow Wilson. Few public men have taken such definite ground on tbequosfiou of the rights nnd duties' of organized labor as has Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. In a letter written to one of the labor lenders of bis home state recently the governor sold: . - "I have always been the warm friend of organized Inbor. It Is, in my opin ion, uot only perfectly legitimate, but absolutely necessary, that labor should organize if it Is to secure Justice from organized capital, and everything that It does to improve the condition of workingmen, to obtain legislation that will impose full legal responsibility upon the employer for his treutmeut of his employees and for their protec tion against accident, to secure Just and adequate wages aud to put reasonable limits upon the working day and upon all the exactions of those who employ labor ought to have the hearty support of all fair minded and public spirited men, for there is a sense lu which the condition of. labor is the condition of tbe nation itself. The laboring man cannot beuellt him self by injuring the industries of the country. I am much more afraid that the great corporations, combinations and tniBts will do the country deep harm than I am, that the labor or ganizations will harm it, and yet 1 be lieve the corporations to be necessary Instruments of modern business." DISCARDING THE LABELS. Woodrow Wilson Comments on the Breaking Down of Party Lines. "The country Is awakening to a de gree of civic consciousness known be fore only ln4the period when the coun try was boru." said Governor Wood row Wilsou of New Jersey In a reoeut uddresu, "We are scrutinizing the men who are conducting the government We kuow we are living In an age of complicated conditions. From all our cities niuu after uiau tells me that nev er before have the clllzeus been so awakened to public questions to the question of public degeneration. "The Interesting thing of our politics now Is thut men are not labeled. You cannot tell from the way a man voted last time how he will vote, the next time. Men nre beginning to find out that the safe line Is the right line. "The mere moral Impulse In me is of no forve unless It can be translated tuto action. It Is Immoral to propose for the United States something that is not of benefit to the whole United States. It Is Immoral to promote legis lation for your business unless It Is nlso for the Interest of the rest -f the country.

Mead H Company (Continued from First page.) decide to mate a finnl'desperafe "effort to seize their stronghold. The dash of the 300 through the gates and down the avenue whs the moat spectacular experience In Truxtou's life. He was up with Qulnnox and General Braze, galloping well In front of the yelling troops. . These, mounted carbineers, riding as Bedouins, swept like thunder down the street, whirled Into the broad, rptvi arena beyond the duke's palace and were upon the sur' prised ruffians before they Were fully awake to the situation. They came tumbling out of barns nnd sheds, clutching their rifles in nerveless nanus, agnast in the face of absolute destruction. The enemy, craven at the outset, threw down their guns nnd tried to escape through the alleys aud side streets at the end t the common. Fir ing all the time, the attacking force rode them' down as If , they were so many dogs. After ten or fifteen minutes of this desultory carnage it was reported-that, a large force of men were entering the avenue from Regengetz circus. Quln nox sent his chargers toward this great horde of foot soldiers, but they did not falter, as he had expected. On they swept 2,000 or 3,000 of them. At their head rode five or six officers. The fore most was Count Marians. Qulnnox saw now that the Iron Count was determined to storm tha gates aud gave the command to re treat Waving their 'rifles and shout lug defiance over their -shoulders, the dragoons drew up, wheeled and gal loped toward the gates. Scarcely were the riiassiv'e portals closed and the great steel bars drop ped into place by the men who attend ed them when a low, dull explosion shook the earth as If by volcanic force. Then came the crashing of timbers, the crncklnq of masonry, the whirring of a thousand missiles through the air.' .Before the very eyes, of the stunned, bewildered defenders, dis mounting near the parade ground, the huge gates and pillars fell to the ground. The gates had been dynamited. Then it was that Truxton King re membered. Mnrlnnx's sappers had been qnletly at work for days drilling from the common to thp gates. It was a. strange coincidence that Marians should have chosen 'this day for his culminating assault on the castle. The skirmish at daybreak hnd hurried his arrangements no doubt, but none the less were his plnns complete. The ex plosives had been laid during the night. The fuses reached to the mouth of the tunnel across the common. As "he swept up the avenue at the head of his command, ha wk faced and with glittering eyes, he ftnarled the com mand that put fire to the fuses.' A moment later his vanguard stream ed through the aperture and faced the deadly fire from the driveway. ' At last they began to advance across the grassy meadow. When one. man fell under the fire of the guardsmen another rushed iuto his place. Three times the Indomitable Graustnrklans drove them back nnd as often did Mar ians drag them up again, exalted by the example he set. "Gad, he Is a soldier!" cried Trux ton. '-'Hello! TV-re's' my friend Bru tus." lie's no coward either. JEIere's a try for you, Brutus." He dropped to his knee and took de liberate nim at the frenzied henchman. The discovery that there , were three bullets lu Brutus' breast when he was, picked up long afterward did not af feet the youuc nmu's contention thnt his wfis the one that hud found the heart. , The fall of Brutus unred the Iron Count to greater fury. Ilia hor-e had been shot from under him. He wa on his feet, calling to his men to fol low him as he moved toward the stub born row of green aud ted. Bullets hissed about Jhis ears, but he gave uo heed to them. . The commander of the guard gave the command to full back slowly to ward the castle. ' Firing, at every step, they crossed the parade cround and then nimle-n quick dush for the shelter of the long outcomes, .uananx, down in tbe pa rade grouud, was fairly pushing his men Into the Jaws of death. Truxton Klnir'S chance to nnv hi debt to Vos Eugo came after one ot the fiercest," most determined charges. The young count had been flchtiinr desperately for some time.

Truxton saw him fall. lie leaped over the low balustrade, dropping his hot rifle, and dashed across the terrace to his rival's assist ance. A hundred men shot at him. "It's my turar shouted the, Ameri can. "I'll square it up If I can. Then waie evenf -A Story of GrausfarX., By GEORGE BARR M'CUTCHEON He seized the wounded man in his strong arms, threw him over his Bhoul der nnd staggered toward the steps. "Release me. curse von!" shrlsk-Pil kVos Eugo, striking his rescuer in the iuce wun nis nst. "I'm saving you for another day," said King as he dropped behind the Dniustrncie with his burden safe. There were other witnesses tn Trill ion's rash act In a. lofty window of the north wing crouched a white faced gin and a grim old man. The latter held a rifle in his tense though feeblp old hands. Now and then the old man would sleht his rifle and fire. Th iHrl who crouched beside bird was there to designate a certain figure In the ever changing mass of humanity on the oioouy paraue ground.' Her clear eyes sought for and found Marian? her nn. wavering finger pointed him out to the oiu uiarusman. She-saw Vos Enco fall. Then tnll well known figure sprang Into view, uasning toward her wounded lover, Her hear stopped beating. With her hands to her temples she leaned far over the window ledge and "YOU ABB SHOT!" sitB OBIED. "TBUX v TONl TBUXTONl" screamed screamed words that would have, filled "ruxton King with an end tess Joy could he have heard .them above the rattle of the rifles. The comer Of the huildlne- hnrl nhiit out the picture. . It was impossible for ner to know that the man aud his burden had reached the balcony In safety. Even now they might be ly ing on the terrace, riddled by bullets. The old man roused her from the stupor of dread. He called her name. Dully she responded. Standing bolt upright in the window, she sought out the 'figure of Marlanx and pointed rigidly. "Ah," groaned the old man, "they will not be driven buck this time! "1 FEW. AS XT A GRAVY PERSON All DAB- , orb has met pasukd ta Br." They win not be denied. It Is tbe last charge! God, how they come! Our men will be annihilated in Where is be? Now! Ah, I see! Yes, that is he! He Is near enough now. 1 cannot miss him!" Marlanx was leading bis men up to the terrace. , ' At' the top of the terrace the Iron Count suddenly stopped. His long body stiffened and then crumpled like a reed. A 'score of heavy feet tram pled on the fallen leader, but he did not feel the Impact x " A bulle from the north winy had crashed Into his brain. "At Inst!' shrjeked the old man at the wi. d.iw. "Come, Miss Tullis; my work is done." , "He Is dead, your grace?" hi low, awed tones. "Yes, my dear," said tbe Duke of Feree. a smile of relief on bis face. "Come, let me escort you to the prince. You have been must. courageous." A" group of . terrified women were) huddled In' the far corner of a near by room. The Duke of Terse held open the door for Loraiue Tullis, but she did not ener. When he turned to call she was halfway down the top flight of stairs', racing through the powder smoke toward the landing be low. . At every step she was screaming in the very agony of gladness: "Stand firm! Hold them! Help Is coming! Help is coming!" A last look throusfi the window at the end of the hall bad revealed to her the most glorious of visions. Red and green, troops were pouring through the dismantled gateway, their horses surging over the ugly ground rifts and debris as if possessed of tbe fabled' wlags. ' Her tirothor was out there, and all was well. She was crying the Joyous news from the bead of tbe grand stairway when Truxton King caught sight of her. . - . He was powder stained and grimy. There was blood on his face and shirt front - "You are shot!" she cried, clutching the post at the bend in the stairs. "Truxton! Truxton!". "Not even scratched!" he shouted as he reached her side. "It's not my" He stopped short even as he held out his arms to clasp her to his breast. "It's some one else's blood," he finished resolutely. She swayed toward him, and he caught her in his arms. "I love you oh, I love yon, Trux ton!" she cried over and over again. He was faint with Joy; His kisses spoke the adoration be would have cried out to her If emotion had not clogged his throat. "Eric." she whispered at last, draw ing back in bis arms and looking up Into his eyes! with a great pity in her own. "Is he is he dead, Truxton?" "No," he said gently; "badly hurt, but"- "ne will not die? Thank God, Truxton. He is a brave oh. a very brave man!" Leaderless between' ttye deadly fires, the mercenaries gave up the tight after a brief stand nt tbe terrace. The prince reigucd again. (Continued Saturday.) GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE. All Progressive Reforms Have That For Their Object, Says Wilson. Discussing the progressive move ment in politics, Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey said recently: "If you will look at tbe proposed re forms, proposed by men in both par ties, meant to ' serve the country In some special way, you will see that each particular reform has a definite object For example, the qViestlon of the cost of living is a question which touches the great body of the people. It .does not touch those exceptional persons whose Income Is abundant It touches the whole body of the peo ple. The question of direct primaries touches the accessibility of the offices by the people. It touches the means which they are to exercise to put the sort of 'men they desire into office. The question of . the equalization of taxation means that equality which, is Justice, that fairness which will see that no man is taxed more than an other man or upon a different basis from other men or other corporations. The question of corrupt practices in elections Is a question of the attacks which have been made upon the vir tue of the people. ' "Every direction you turn you will see that what we are straining after Is to bring the government back with in the touch of the people and to use it in behalf-of the people. Upon what sort ,of occasion, therefore, in what sort of campaign, should a man who remembers the long traditions of American government take greater pleasure and zest than in a campaign which has such objects?" THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT. It Is Pervading the Whole Country, De- claraa Woodrow Wilson. How .widespread is the nroerpRslvA movement In American politics was eloquently expressed by Governor' Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey In a recent speech. The governor said: "Tt tinea tl nt rAnllfiwl nnv m.oal tmn.. inatlon to think that high thoughts and purposes In politics are .running subtly through every household and, every member of every household In. this country.
