ACCEPTS HONOR WITH SPEECH
Talks of Needed Reforms in Democrat
ic Party Republican Rule De
nounced in the Platform
Adopted.
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 15. Today's
Hew Jersey Democratic State Conven
tion nominated Dr. Woodrow Wilson,
president of Princeton University, for
the ollice of Governor of the State.
Dr. Wilson's nomination was
broifght about largely through the in
fluence of former United States Sena
tor James Smith. Jr., of Essex coun
ty, who is undisputed Democratic
leader of the State, who seconded his
nomination, and Robert Davis, leader
o( the Hudson Democracy, who for the
first time in many years acted in aar
Biony with Senator Smith',
besides this support Dr. Wilson had
with him a number of . independents
Democrats who thought because of his
standtng as an educator, he would
make an unusually strong, candidate.
Dr. Wilson was nominated on the
first ballot and received 40, votes more
than was necessary to nominate him.
Frank S. Katzenbach, Jr., who was thb
Democratic candidate three years ago,
and was not a candidate' this .time, al
though urged by his home county, was
a favorite with individual delegates
and received nearly 400 votes in the
convention.
Other candidates voted for were
State Senator George S. Sllier and
Mayor Otto Wittpenn, ' New Jersey.
The total vote was tabulated before
the counties moved to make it unani
mous and showed: Wilson 747 1-2;
hatzenbach 373; Silser 210;. Wittpenn
76 12; Sheriff William Harrigan, of
Essex, 6. j
The platform adopted was in line
with the Democratic platform of three
year ago, except that it was more spe
cific in advocacy of reform measures,
including the conferring of rate mak
ing power upon the present public
utilities' commission. The platform
declared among other things that the
Republican party, through the. present
tariff law, is largely responsible for
the high cost of living and demands an
intelligent revision downward. The
Platform also demands a Federal cor
ript practices act and for the election
pf I'nited States Senators by popular
Vote.

ADDRESS AT COUNTY FAIR
Is Not Talking Revolution in the Sen-
timents Expressed Development
of Corporations and the
Needs of Regulation.
Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 15. Theo-
fdore Roosevelt said today that he is
not talking revolution in declaring his
new political creed. Neither is he
making an appeal to mob rule. In a
staunch-defense of his doctrine of the
"new Nationlism" he declared that
he r was merely urging the application
of old moralities to modern coditions.
At the same time he replied with spirit
to those who have been opposing him
and hotly denounced newspapers
which he said attacked honest public
men.
Col. Roosevelt's address was deliver
ed at the Suffolk county fair at River
head, L. I. He rode about 120 miles
in an automobile to and from River
head and spoke to a great crowd on
the fair grounds.
The colonel's exposition of new Na
tionalism" came at the close of a
speech in which he also denounced
dishonest corporations, dishonest men
of wealth and political bosses. He
made no reference to the New York
State political situation.
"I have noticed a goodNdeal of com
ment on my speech on 'new National
ism'," he said. "Al that new Nation
aiism means Is the application of cer
tain old time moralities to the chang:
ed conditions of the day,
Uol. Roosevelt spoke oi the develop
ment of corporations and the need of
governmental activity to control them
He said in part:
"Iwant to see such control of the
wealth now gathered for business uses
as to favor the honest man who uses
the wealth genuinely for the service
of the public and to make the dishon
est man feel that he has to do what is
rightr and "if he doesn't feel' it we
shall see to it that he does.
"That is my whole creed. That Is
all there is in it There is no revolu
Hon In it. There is no appeal to mob
rule. On the contrary, I recognize
mob violence as an enemy of the pub
lic good, just as much as lawless
wealth. I am against the poor man
who is guilty of the crime of lawless
violence and, when it is in my power,
I shall try to punish him for his mis
deeds, just as whenever I have the
power. I will join with those tlrat see
to it that the corrupt man or weaitn
is good not because he likes to be,
but because he has to be.
Uol. Roosevelt spoke with even more
customary earnestness. His woras
were received with cheers.
There are two prime difficulties in
getting eood government." One arises
from the dishonest politician, l tninn
the corrupt politician no worse an en-
emv of the people than the man wno
lies abgut the honest public servant.
The corrupt politician is no worse
than that corrupt politicians main
stay, the newspaper, which says wnat;
is not true about men in pudiic me
Honesty, truth, courage you neea
them just as much in puDiic lire as in
private life."
Col. Roosevelt then said that one
of the reasons why he is against the
Dosses, bie and little,, is t-at tneir
strength lies . more in their alliance
with special privileges than in any
thing else. As for rich maieiactora,
he believed that the railway man wuu
gets rich by gambling in the securities
of the road he operates in trust for
his stockholders, should bd punished,
and that u it is impossible to punish
him under present laws, that the' laws
should be changed.

Light Vote Cast in Upper
Districts But Heavy -
Down State.
FEATURES OF DAY'S VOTING
Cannon Renominated by Republicans
Far Congress Lee O'Neill Browne
Also Returned Progressives
and Standpatters.
Chicago, Sept. 15. The nomination
of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon for re
election to Congress and the neck-ahd-neck
race that Congressman Geo.
B. Foss is running with his progres
sive opponents, as indicated in early
returns, were features of today's pri
maries in Illinois.
The vote cast in the Congressiohal
districts in Cook county (Chicago)
was remarkably light, not more 'than
a quarter of the vpto on the registra
tion looks . ifeieiHgU polled.; The down,
State votqjfwas' much heavier.
Early returns indicated the nomina
tion oi" Lee O'Neil Browne for re
election to the State House of RepTe
sentatives and also that of E. G. Shurt
leff, Republican Speauer of the House,
against whom a determined factional
fight was waged. Browne was recent
ly acquitted of a charge of having
bribed a State Representative to ote
for William Lorimer for United States
Senator.
Early returns also indicated the
nomination of Ira G. Copley by the
Republicans of the 11th Congression
al district over George W. ponn,. Jr.
The fight in this district has been
one of the fiercest in the State. Conn
is said to have been backed by the
standpatters, while his opponent de
clared himself a progressive.
The defeat of H. S. Boutell, after
many years in Congress, by F. H.
Ganzbergeif, who - announced himself
as a progressive, caused little surprise
locally. The' regular Republican or
ganization refused to indorse Boutell
on the grounds that his record as a
"stand-patter" would insure Demo
cratic success if he were nominated.
Ganzbergen ran about 2,000 ahead of
him.
The closeness of the fight in the
Tenth district came as a surprise to
most students of the. campaign. While
Mr. Foss, who is chairman of the
committee on naval affairs, has always
voted with the regulars at Washing
ton, he stated during the campaign
that he had informed Mr. Cannon that
he felt free to reserve his judgment
as to how he should vote in the next
Speakership contest.
G. P. Englehard, campaigned on an
unmistakable progressive platform
and attacked the present Congress
man on his record on the tariff and
as a supporter of Cannon.
Forty three precincts out of 147 in
the district gave Englehard 1,092 votes
against 1,041 for Foss.
In a number of Congressional dis
tricts outside Cook county there were
no contests among the Republicans
and Democrats, and the candidates
were nominated without opposition.
Chicago, Sept. 15. Speaker Cannon.
as shown by returns up to midnight.
carried Vermillion county by a primary
plurality of about 2,500, compared with
an election plurality of 5,666 two years
ago. While the returns are incomplete,
Mr. cannon s plurality apparently will
go above 6,700.
The returns in no county are com
plete, but tiat the Speaker has car
ried every county in the district seems
certain. Kankakee county, if the pres
ent ratio keeps up, will give him 700
plurality ; Iroquois 700, Edgar 1,000,
(Jlark 1,400, Cumberland 400. The vote
throughout the entire district was
heavy.

WHITE WINNER OVER GURTISS
English Aviator Makes New Record
and Takes $3,000 Harvard Cup
Goes a Mile a Minute in
Bleriot Monoplane.
- -'V
Boston, Sept. 15. Driving his Ble
riot monoplane at approximately a
mile a minute, Ciaude Grahame-White,
the English aviator, brought to a suc
cessful close Tris first American en
gagement by defeating Glenn H. Cur
tiss, the American flier, and world's
speed champion of the air, in a spe
cial match speed test at the Harvard
aviation field at Atlantic today.
He defeated Curtiss by 16 4-5 sec
onds in a five and a quarter mile
race. White thereby won the $3,000
Harvard cup and made a new speed
mark for the field by. going the course
in five minutes 47 4-5 seconds. White
also added to his winnings the John
Hays Hammond cup, the second prize
for a special bomb throwing contest.
Ralph Johnstone, the Wright aviator,
took the first prize, the city of Boston
cup.
This was the concluding day of the
Harvard aviation meet and it was not
marred by a single noteworthy acci
dent of nearly a fortnight's flying. A.
V. Roe, an English flier, who has had
bat! luck with his triplanes, wrecked
his second machine today and was
painfully, but not seriously hurt.
From an elevation of 1,800 feet
neither Johnstone or White could hit
200 square feet of canvas on the
ground,' each throwing six eggs, but
Johnstone's shots were better and
earned him the Boston cup.
Tonight the aviators and manage
ment of the aero meet were given a
banquet at the city club by Mayor
John F. Fitzgerald.

DENOUNCE BRITISH PROPOSAL
American Bankers Against Guarantee
ing Cotton Bills of Lading. Stinc
ing Reply to Fpreign Bankers.
. , Situation.
.New Yrk, Sept. 15. American bank
ers decided here today that they can
not assent to the plan for guarantee
ing bills of lading proposed by British
bankers. Instead they asserted their
independence, denounced the British
proposal as unsound finance and in
sisted on their own plan of a "validated
certificate."
Yesterday a committee of London
and Continental bankers announced
their refusal to accept American cot
tnn hills after October 31st. without an
Ampriean'"bank euarantee." Today a
sub-committee oi tne American tsanK
ers' Association put itself on record,
after a long session, in the following
cable:
"We deenlv reeret your decision and
cannot but feel that it was reached
throueh misapprehension. We have
accomplished much m securing the
validation certificate, thus placing the
hnsinpss on a safe basrs. Further con
sideration of bankers guarantee is ab
solutely out of the Question, heme in
rmmnatible with correct banking prin
ciples. This is final. Situation could
not -be chanced by our committee go
ing to London, but of course we would
welcome your deputation in New York,
where all data and information are od
tainable and where railway and cotton
people also could be heard. We are
rnnflflpTit this would lead to a better
understanding with mutually satisfac
tory results.
The hankers who formulated the
foresroine reply are: Walter E. Frew,
vice-president of the Corn Kxchange
Bank; William H. Porter, president of
the Chemical National Bank: G. Si
Thome, vice-president of the Nationa
Park Bank: F. J. Kent, vice-president
of the Bankers Trtist Company, and
Vice-Presidents Gardin and Talbert, of
the National City Bank. Their action
is reported to be unanimous, and their
attitude is said to have the unqualified
endorsement of every bank in the
Clearine House Association.
Their decision is of great importance
not only to the cotton interest of the
South and of New York, but to rail
roads and business in general. It
terminates a lone debate in which all
the evils of the present system and the
defects of the various remedies pro
posed have been set rortn in iuii.

RECOGNIZES NO' DISTINCTION
President Expresses His Views on the
Subject Letter Given Out By
Taft's Secretary His Object
Is Given.
Beverly, Mass., Sept. 15. President
Taft has decided that hereafter he will
recognize no distinction as 'between
Republican Senators and Representa
tives whether "progressives" or "reg
ulars" in the matter of Federal pat
ronage. In other words, he will treat
them ail alike in this respect.
The President's views in regard to
the matter were made known in a
letter made public today from the
President to Secretary Charles D.
Norton, addressed to a Republican
leader in Iowa, whose name is not
disclosed.
"He," says Secretary Norton, refer
ring to President Taft, "will now fol
low the usual rule in Republican Con
gressional districts and States and
follow the recommendations made by
Republican Congressmen and Sena
tors, of whatever shade of political
opinion, only requiring that the men
recommended shall be good men, the
most competent and the best fitted for
the particular office."
The letter in part follows: "While
Republican legislation pending in
Congress was opposed by certain Re
publicans the President felt it to be
his duty to the party and to the coun
try to withhold Federal patronage
from certain Senators and Congress
men, who seemed to be in opposition
to the administration's efforts to car
ry out the promises of the party plat
form.,. That" attitude, ' however, ended
with the primary elections and nomi
nating conventions which have now
been held, and In which the vbters
have had opportunity to declare them
selves'. The people have spoken as
the party faces the Fall elections; the
question .must be settled by Republi
cans of evjery shade of opinion wheth
er the differences of the last sessioi
shall be perpetuated or shall be for
gotten. "The President feels that the value
of Federal patronage has been great
ly exaggerated and that the refusal
to grant it has probably been more
useful to the men affected than the
appointments would have been. After
stating that in the perliminary skir
mishes in certain States like Wiscon
sin and Iowa and elsewhere he was
willing, in the interest of what the
leaders believed would lead to party
success to make certain discrimina
tions." Mr. Norton then makes known the
President's decision above quoted."
Bennett Makes Comment.
New York, -Sept. 15. Representa
tive William S. Bennett, who is a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Governor, does not believe in "ad
jective" Republicans. In commenting
today on President Taft's decision to
treat "progressives," and "regulars"
alike, he said:
"President Taft, Theodore -Roosevelt
and all thinking Republicans, now
stand on the same platform in this
regard. I do not believe in any 'ad
jective' Republicans. All men nominat
ed and elected on a Republican ticket
are to be recognized as Republicans.
"Patronage should . have nothing to
do with the relations between the
President and members of Congress.
I had three Federal places myself.
President Roosevelt took away two
of them and President Taft took aay
the other, but I have never been an
insurgent."
MAURETANIA MAKES RECORD.

New York, Sept. 15. The giant Cu
narder Mauretania hung up a new
Trans-Atlantic record today over the

in Congressional Primary
Held Yesterday.
CLARK CARRIES ONLY BUDEII
Majorities Range From 300 in Cum

son Some Precincts Still
Missing.
Returns from the Democratic, pri
maries held throughout the Sixth Con
gressional District of North Carolina '
yesterday afternoon, under the super
vision of the State committee named
in the unfortunate controversy which
sprung up in the party ranks as the
result of the twin convention recently
held at Wrightsville, Indicate a land
slide for Hon. H. L. Godwin, of Har
nett, who was opposed by Hon. O. 1m
Clark, of Clarkton, Mr. Godwin car
rying every county save one by ma- ,
jorities ranging from 300 in Cumber-.
land to 1,800 and possibly more In
Robeson, the single exception being
Bladen, which was carried by Mr.
Clark by 250 and possibly more. The
majority of Mr. Godwin in the district '
will range from 4,500 to 5,000' and. '
upon the face of the returns up to
12 o'clock, last night, these majorities
range about as follows:
New Hanover 470
Robeson 1,800
Columbus 800
Harnett 800 '
Cumberland 300
Brunswick 500
Total .; 4,670
Less Bladen majority for Clark. . 250 '
Godwin's majority 4,420
These figures are the most accurate
that could be gathered last night from
all sources by long distance telephone '
and telegraph. Friends of the- rival ;
candidate in one or, two instances. ,
claim - slightly larger, or smaller xnajorl-"
ties, as the' case may be, in one or two"
of the counties, but the tabulation is
as nearly correct as it was possible to
get last night. The vote Will be offi- '
cially canvassed Saturday and report- '
ed to the State eupervisory committee,
which-Will later meet and declare the
nominee. In New Hanover a very light
vote was polled, only about 40 per cent
of. a normal Democratic vote, but in ,
Cumberland reports say the Voting was
heavy and the same was doubtless
true of Robeson. So far as was learned
every township in Robeson went for
the Harnett man by large majorities
except Maxton which cast 39 for God
win and 105 for Clark. Northwest was
perhaps the only township carried by
Clark jn Brunswick. Tne returns re
ceived last night are as follows:
Official in Robeson.
LUmberton, N C, Sept. 15. Official
returns to County Chairman Geo. B.
McLead up to 12 o'clock from 15
townships give Godwin a majority Of
1,336. His estimated majority in eight
other toTnships is 470 so that tho
total majority in Robeson will be 1,
806. Godwin carried every precinct in
Robeson save one.
Bladen For Clark.
Elizabethtown, N. C, Sept. 15.
Central townshin riven Godwin 20.

Clark 52; Bethel, Godwin 15, Clark
15; Hollow, Godwin 16, Clark 18;
Elizabethtown, Godwin 11, Clark 74;
Colly, Godwin 10, Clark 20.
These townships give Clark a ma
jority of 42 votes. Phone wires ar
down, and it is impossible tonight to
get returns from all the townships.
It is estimated by Clark's friends here
that his county will give him a ma
jority of about 250 votes, which It Is .
understood is all that is claimed by
his managers. '
Big Majority in Robeson.
Lumberton, N. C, Sept. 15. Returns
from 15 ouf of 23 precincts give God
win 1,789, Clark 44. It ii estimated
that Godwin will have 1,800 majority
in the county.
A large mass meeting of citizens
from all sections of the county was
held here yesterday. Several minis
