lion. Woodrow Wilson, governor of
New Jersey, has come very sharply
into the political limelight lu the lust
'few months by reason of his fearless
and effective advocacy of the rights
of the people to govern themselvos
without Interference from the great
corporations and vested' interests.
Governor Wilson' is a native of Vir
ginia, having been born" nt Staunton
Dec. .28, 1S5G. He Is the son of a
rresbyteriaTi minister of Scotch Irish
descent. As a boy he lived In the
south and at the age of nineteen en
tered Princeton university, from which
he was graduated in 1871). He took a
course lu law at the University of
Virginia and was admitted to the bar.
He practiced law la Atlanta for two

years and then took a postgraduate
course In political economy,' history
and jurisprudence at Johns. Hopkins
University, Baltimore. His writings
on political subjects while at Johns
Hopkins attracted much attention,
and he was offered the professorial
chair at Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania,
the famous college for women, where
he remained for three years. From
Bryn Mawr he went to Wesleyan uni
versity, at Middletown, Conn., as pro
fessor of history and political econo
my, and in -18!)0 he Joined the faculty
of . Princeton' university as professor
of politicnl economy and jurispru
dence. The title of this chair was
later changed to professor of jurispru
dence and politics. In 1902 Professor
Wilson was chosen president of
Princeton university and occupied
that position for eight years. His In
cumbency of the office was a contto
ual fight agnlnst special privileges
and an effort to make the university
more democratic than it bad been in
the past. In 1010 President Wilson
was nominated as the candidate of
the .Democrats of New Jersey for gov'
ernor and was elected by a plurality
of nearly 50,000 after a speaking canv
palgn that was remarkable in rousing
the 'people of the state from one end
to the other and, swingles: to his sup
port thousands of Republicans who
were diasatlsfied with the present con
duct and management of tbe Repub
llcnn party.
Governor Wilson has more, than
fulfilled his pledges. Ho promised
tbe people ' of New Jersey that he
would be their representative at the
state capltol and would guard tbe in
terests of the whole people to the best
of his ability. Among tbe specific
promises which he made were that he
would do all In his power to secure
the . enactment of tbe public utilities
bill for tbe control of railroads and
other public service corporations; a re
vised primary law that would give the
people absolute control of the nomina
tions for ail officers, . including dele
gates to presidential conventions, and
take tbe selection of candidates out of
the hands of the bosses; a corrupt
practices law that would make bribery
and tbe use of tnone? of corporations
in elections difficult, if not impossible
a law - providing for tbe commission
government of cities by the votes of
the citizens and including tbe features
of the initiative and referendum and
the recall; an employers' liability law
which would protect the interests of
tbe workers automatically without
making it necessary for them to go to
tourt to obtain their rights in case of
injury while at work and several re
form laws of great local importance ln
bis own state.
Although the legislature of New Jer
sey was Democratic on Joint ballot.
tbe senate was Republican, and at
first It seemed to every one that Gov
ernor Wilson had undertaken a hope
less task of endeavoring to force these
reforms through an unwilling legisla
ture. People Jeclared that be would
dim practical pontics someming en
tirely different from the academic the
u
M Hi1 'NC - ' i ;
ories which were supposed to be his
political stock In trade, but they reck
oned without their man. They did not
realize that all of Governor Wilsoa's
life had - been a training for active
par'iilpatiou In politics and that his
studies and research iuto political his
tory and political methods hud given
him .a wider knowledge of the power
of the people under agresslve leader
ship than any of the bosses of either
purty possessed. His whole political
theory is based upon the right of the
people to rule uud their power to rule
when their efforts are properly concen
trated, and be demonstrated that his
theory was correct when one after an
other his, proposed reforms were
forced through the legislature by the
power of public opinion.
Even before Governor Wilson took
his seat In the executive chamber he
had won a victory over the bosses in
his own party, which bad Inspired the
people with renewed confidence and
terrorized the professional politicians
who were inclined to oppose his re
forms. The election'of a United States
senator from New Jersey was the first
Important work for the new legislature
to undertake. James Smith, Jr., long
known as the big boss of the Demo
cratic party, in the state, had decided
that he wanted this particular plum
for bimself, and he announced him
self as a candidate, but at the pri
maries held early in lt10 James A.
Marline, a clean aud popular citizen,
bad been a candidate for the senatorial
nomination and had received tbe in
dorsement of tbe people at the polls.
Smith's name had not .been presented
at the primaries. This did not make
any difference to Smith, who thought
that his power as boss was sufficient to
override the will of the people. Governor-Elect
Wilson declared that Smith
should not be senator, that he had no
claim upon the office and that Martlne
had the strongest claim of all, that of
popular indorsement- The fight be
tween the old boss and the new leader
was short, sharp and decisive. Back-
id by public opinion, the new governor
won, and Martine was elected senator
on the first ballot.
With these triumphs to his credit it
Is email wonder that the peoplff.of the
United States are coming to look upon
Woodrow Wilson ns one of the great
est political leaders who have been de
veloped In recent years. A progressive
of the progressives,' It does not worry
Governor Wilson any to be called a
radical. In fact, he calls himself a
radical. "I am radical," said Governor
Wilson recently, "and the first ele
ment of my radicalism is: Let's get"
at'the root of the whole thing and
resume populor government. We
mean to have the kind of government
we thought we had. I am ready to
draw the initiative and referendum at
any time. I believe in it. I have not
the slightest fear of Its disturbing our
theory of representative government
I don't worry about theories anyhow;
It's facts that worry me. The fact is
we In New Jersey have not got any
thing but the theory, while in states
where they have tried It the initiative
and referendum has given them back
representative government. It works,
you know, without being called on to
work at all. Where legislative repre
sentatives know that if they full real
ly to represent, the people have the
power td take the legislation back into
their own hands, those representatives
have an effective motive to represent.
The initiative and referendum Is like
a gun behind the-door for use in case
of emergency, but a mighty good per
suader nevertheless.".
It Is perhaps unnecessary to add to
this explanation of Governor Wilson's
attitude toward public affairs that

IS TRAINED FOR
POLITICAL LIFE
Woota Wilson Tells How K
Fitted Himself.
WAS HIS FIRST PREFERENCE
Studied Law. Because It Was the
Shortest Path to Publio Career, but
Quit It, He Says, as He Found He
Didn't Know How Then to Be an
Honest Lawyer and a Polit'cian.
In an interesting interview wkh
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey in the May issue of the World's
Work Mr. Wiillum Buynrd Hale quotes
the governor as follows:'
"JIow did I happen to enter political
life? Why, I suppose I was born a
political animal. Always, from the
first recollections of my youth up, I
huve aimed at political life. The rea
son I studied law was, I suppose, be
cause in the south when I was a boy
the law furnished the shortest path
to public life. I gave It up because
I found I couldn't be an bouest law
yer and a politician; at least I didn't
know how then to do it. - So as the
next best thing to living in public life
I tried to satisfy my mind by study
ing it I took a new start and went
back to school, Johns Hopkins, where
tried to learn something about tbe
facts-Hue facts, mind you, of govern
ment From the start my Interest has
been in things as they' are rather than
in a theoretical analysis of them. - In
my thesis 1 studied the American con
gress as it Is. in tact, an organization
of committees, somewhat as Bagehot
had studied the English constitution
ns It, was aud as it actually worked
rather than as its theory fictitiously
made It So, you see, I was always a
practical politician."
So that your occupancy of this com
fortable swivel chair Is really a ful
fillment of your original youthful am
bition?" "Not of that so much as the fulfill
ment of my whole life, I suppose.
When they came to me and said, 'You
have been talking public questions aud
urging your young men to go out and
take their part In politics; now Its
time for you to take your own turn,'
what could I say except:- 'I'm glad of
the chance. If the people want me to
I will.'
Besides, to speak the truth, I was
only asked to do In a bigger field
what I had been doing at t'rincetou
for ten yenrs. I have been fighting
privilege at Princeton, just as I am
fighting it here now, only there I had
to fight In the dark. My most trusted
friends told me I mustn't drag the
fight out into tbe light before the big
Jury, and so I didn't. Here I can
fight the same fight before the eyes
of all men. It's fun to be out in the
air and the sunlight"
Our Great National Change. '
Every thinking man recognizes the
fact tbat conditions of life In the Unit
ed States have altered materially with
in the 'memory of merf still young.
But not every statesman has been able
to express bis appreciation of these
great changes as clearly 'and concise
ly as did Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey in a recent address.
Governor Wilson said:
"Now,, I take leave to beleve there
is one singular question that underlies
all tbe other questions that are dis
cussed on the political platfofm at- tbe
present moment, That singular cir
cumstance is tbat nothing is done In
this country as It wns done twenty
years ago. The old party platforms of
twenty years ago read now like docu
ments taken out of a forgotten ago.
We are in the presence of a new or
ganization of society. We are eogerly
bent on fitting that new organization.
as we did once fit the old organiza
tion, to the happiness and prosperity
of the great body of citizens, for we
are conscious that that order of society
does not fit and provide tho conven
ience or happiness or prosperity of tbe
average man."
