Young men like Mark Sullivan, John
Treaty and myself, all of HuIkuii
County, representing tlie liberal tint
of our party, were bitterly opposed to
this effort. We ispeeted the 'Oil
iang," was up to its o'd tricks of foi-t
jug upon tlie Ikn.ocrats of tlie Watt
tool which they could use for their
own advantage, who under the name
of the Democratic party would do the
bidding of the corporate interests whicn
had, under both the "regular'' organ
izations, Democratic and 'Hepubliran,
found in 'evi Jersey their most untrit
ioui pastures. At a meeting held
:it the Linvjers' Club in New York,
vounger Democrats, like Judge Silzer
"of Middl.-'.A .-m l nn . If. "pliglitel

undying opposition lo the candidacy

As soon as 'he Demo, ratie boss of
Hudson couttj. Hob Davjs, one f the
'eaders in the Wilson movement in
North Jersev. was apprised of the
proposed action on our part, he sat
about to head it 'iff, and as part of his
plan of oppoiition he sent for tne id
nn effort to w an me awny from the
miter candidacy . I ret used to yield.
I'pon b;ing interrogated by nie as to

th faets at to Mows Taylor Prat's
real feelings toward Woodinw Wilson.
f rsriottt to tht Gubernatorial eaar
p.tign I asked Boss Davis if he thought
Woodrow Wilson would snake a good
governor. His reply was characteristic
of the point of view of the boyt In
dealing with these matters of moment
to the people of the State. '"How the,
hell do I know whether he'll make a
good Governor f" he replied. ''He will
make a good candidate and that is
the only thing that interests me.'1
. Shortly after, those of us who banded
together to oppose the bosses in their
efforts to force Dr. Wilson upon ut,
began to feel the pressure of the or
ganization's influence. Many of our
friends left us in despair and in foar
of the power of the machine. The
movement toward Woodrow Wilson in
the Mate was soon in full swing. The
Davis Smith Nugent Kosa machine was
in fine working, order on the day and
the night of tho convention.
I was not even a delegate to the con
vention, but 1 w.i present and kept in
close touch by contact with my friends
with every phase of the contention
fight. Colonel Harrey was again on the
scene as the generalissimo of the Wilson
forces, quietly and stealthily moving
about, lining up his forces, for the
memorable battle of the morrow. There
was bitter but unorganised opposition
to . the favorite son of the State ma
chine, Woodrow Wilson. The conven
tion itself presented an unusual situa
tion, and demonstrated more than any
thing 1 ever ;aw the power of the "old
gang'' to do the thing its masters had in
mind. As I look back upon the great.
event of this convention, the nomine
tion ot Woodrow Wilson for the Gov
ernorship of New Jersey, I feel that
destiny was inscrutably engaged there,
working in mysterious ways its wonders
to perform, working perhaps through
strange, incongruous instrumentalities
to bring the man of destiny into at
tion, led by tliost wlio wax jQjipoiiiil to
everything Woodrow Wilson stood for,
opposed by those? who were yearning for
and striving for just the daw:i of polit
ical liberalism that his advent in poli
tics heralded. The conflict of the Tren
ton convention about to be enacted was
an illustration of the poet's line,
"Where ignorant armies clash by
night."
The Old Guard's Mistake.
The successful side of the convention
was tight nig for v. hat lliey least want
ed: th- 1. feat ah-an.-t what they most
Th, JwCrttary think, the
Prtildent would likt to
rvsd this ltttor.
KOTEt The latter referred to
was one from a former
political foe, praising
the President's course
in the ware
wanted. Her in tins convention, ii
truth, "ere present in aggressive ac
tion the incongruities of politics, aud
in full display were witnessed the sar
donic contrasts between the visible and
the invisible situation in politics all
the Oia Guard moving with Prussian
precision to the nomination of the man
who was to destroy for a time the ma
chine rule in New Jersey and inaugu
rate a new national era in political lib
oralisin, while all the liberal elements
of the State, including fine old Judge
Wcatrott of ( aniden and youag men
lika mysolf, were sullen, helpless. Every
progressive Democrat in the convention
iv as opposed to the domination of tht
Princetonisn, and every standpatter
and Old Guardsman was in favor of
Woodrow Wilson. On the convention
door, Jumiuat.ng the whole affair, stood
ex Seuat r James Smith, Jr., of Njw
Jersey, the spokesman of the "hign
brow" candidate for Governor, con
trolling tho delegates from South-and
West Jersey. Handsome, cool, signi
fied, he rose from the rloor of the con
vention hall, and in rich, low tones,
seconded tht nomination of the man
"he had never met," the man he would
not "presume'' to claim acquaintance
with, the man whose life had lain a
other fields than his. Verr close tc
him, "taking hit orders,'' and acting
upon tvtry suggestion that cams to him
sat Jim Nugfnt, grim, big jawed, the
giant fullback of Smith's iavintible
team, the rising star of machine poll
ties ill New Jersey. Dowa tht aisle tat
Uie "Little Napoleon'' of Hudson Coun
t . Bob Davis, wearing a ssrdonie smile
on his utnallv placid face, with hit big

and Smith.
These wert the leading acton in this
political drama. Behind tht lines, in
the "offing," was the Inturgent Croup,
voung men like Mark Sullivan and John
Treary of Hudson, stout defenders of
tht liberal wing in the convention, feel
ing tullen, beaten and hopelessly im
potent! against the mast attack of the
machine forces. What a political med
ley was present in this convention
plebeian and patrician, machine man
and political idealist all gathered to
gether nad fighting at leading char
acters and supernumerariet in the po
lities drama'about to ba enacted.
Introduces' to tht Coarcnti.
Not three jnen outside of tht leading
actors in thit great political drama bad
eer teen the Princeton professor, al
though many had doubtless read his
speeches. I watctied every move from
tho side lines. The bosses, with con
summate precision, moved to the doing
of the job in hand, working their spell
of threats and coercion -upon a beaten.
sullen, spiritless body of delegates. On
could easily discern that tbert was no
heart in tht delegates for the job at
hand. To them tht activt forces in the
convention, the Princeton President was
iniieed a man of mystery. Who could
solve the riddle of this political Sphinst
Who was this man Wilson f What were
his purpfosest What hit idealst These
questions Were troubling and perplexing
the delegates. Colonel Harvey, the
commander in chief of the Wilson
forces, when interrogated by us, refused
to answer. How masterfully the Old
Guard staged every act of the drama,
and thut brought about the nomination
of the Princeton President.
The convention is at an end. Wilson
has been nominated bj a narrow asar
gia; tht delegates, bitter and resentfnl,
art about to withdraw; tht curtain is
about to roll down on tht last tcene.
The Chairman, John E. Hardin, the dis
tinguished lawyer of Essex, it about to
announce the final vote, when the clerk
of the convention, in a tone of voice
that reached every part of the hall, an
nouncea in a most dramatic fashion:
''We have just received word that Presi
dent Wilson, the candidate for the Gv
ernorship, and the next President of the
United Htates, has received word of hit
nomination: Las left Princeton, and is
now on his wav to the convention. " Fx-
relient stage nun. Tlie voice of the
secretary making tins drainatk stats
in. ut is the voice of Lsau, but the deft
band behind this clever move it that of
Colonel Harvey. The announcement lit
eraiiy sets the convention on lire. Bed
lum breaks loose. The only sullen and
indifferent ones in the hall are those of
us who met defest a few hours before,
lor ut, at least, tht ntyttery is bnt to
be solved. The Princeton professor has
left the shades of tht university to enter
the Elysian fields of poli'irs.
At tht time the Secretary "t announce
ment was made 1 was in the rear of
tht convention staJl, trying to Income
reconciled to our defeat. I then
wended my weary way to the ttag
and stood 'lose to the band, whir:,

to obtain what aewspaper men ca'l a

Vancouver, B. C, Oct. .10. -- The toll
of livet lost in the flood which plunged
down the mountainside Friday evening,
virtually wiping nut the town of Brit
annia Beach on Howe Sound and parti
ally inundating Fraier Valley, just
east of here, reached thirty sit tonight.
The property loss is estimated at sev
eral million dollars.
Bully half of tho 110 neat, freshly
painted cottages wepo carried away on
the crest of the flood. Others were
smashed to pieces by the force of the
on-rushing waters and most of tho rv
mainib'r were still partially submerged,
tonight.
Four children are dead and ten oilier
are reported to be missing. Ten of th
dead and all of the injured were
brought to Vancouver last eveuing on
the steamer Capitano. All the injured
are expected to recover.
An energetic, search for the missing
was made today hut the work was
necessarily slow btcauio of the tlif
families in clearing anny I He wreck
age in the sea of mud and water. It is
considered doubtful if the bodies of
some of the missing will ever be re
covered as they are brlicve-1 to have
been washed into the muddy wit'rs of
Howe Sound.
Manager J, Donahue, of the Britannia
mines, tonight described tlio efforts
made, by those on duty at the mines
property, three miles bai k from the
beach to warn the residents of the
danger. When tho railway till which
caused the accumulation of water in the
hills gave" way and released a roaring
torrent into the creek, a warning of
the disaster to come was sent over the
private telephone line of tho mines. This
message was received by Miss hillon l'at
terson, telephone operator on duty nt
the compress plant in the village. Bhe
promptly rung everybody connected by
telephone, relaying the miners' men
"sage:
"For God's sake get out of your
houses; flood coming down the creek."
Plunges Through Village.
Befort the warning roubl be under
stood and circulated about the town,
the waters crashed down the mountain
side sweeping away transmission lines
and plunging the village into darkness.
The waters hsd fallen 2,00(1 feet in
their three,-mile journey down the moun

Wa-Iatigton, Oct. 30 -Democrats
who have li ft Washington for St. Ixiuis
to attend tho met ting of the Democra'i--National
committee go with the convic
tion that if tho outcome of that meet
ing is an agreement u.ou party man
agement that the skies will become
bright for party success, in a large de
gt.u .u I'l-', that such success
would pave the way for thei luceess in
1 ! - Tho fact that there is not har
mony now with regard to thit partv
inanagt tneiit is the one thing of tlie
greatest importance t be . raightene.f
out.
It agreement can be readied in the
matter of a chairman of tho National
committee there will lone been a great,
step forward taken to advance Herno
rratic. prospects. The gem ral feeling
among h ading Democrats is that n ,
p'grei for psHy a'f-ncrnncv ran be
made with two factious with.n the
party seeking to control it. destinies
and that thero must . some. gi"
tnent as to th- directing force in the
.National comtml't . .
Tarty Leadership Needed
It has bt en riiusJUunfortiiiiaU. lor the
party that the impress on h.,s gaiur.l
ground that, there is a strugie to con
tr.d on . ,.irI f wlllt Ilu. lt, ,(,ril,
e l the r faction and the- McAdoo fa.
Con, that this struggle for control looks
or,(;tr, f,, I,,. National campaign in
l'1:'! l..r the l.erifit of former Governor
.l.m. es M. ( ov or former S cretary of
the Tre:iitry Wilhnw Ci.1,1 s McAdoo.
Ku.'h of these has s'roiig following in
tlie National eomuiittee but tht partv
g. nerally hol.N that it will be to the.
slisadvantags) of tho party its. If for i
partisan ot either ilr. Cm or McA loo
to lie at the head of the National com
mittee. They hold that there must ha
some middle ground upon which the
adherents of e ich faction can met and
units for party iu. ce3s. The Democracy
of the country will take rare of tho
matter of party noniineel when tho
time arrives. What is needed now is'
ii party leadership that w::l concern
itself with party succen and that will
rt legate to tlie rear any matter of this
man or tha' for the, head of tht tickr
ill )!'.'l.
That Chairman jeoge White was
tht. personal choice ct Presidential
Nominee James M. Os for chairmen
f -the National ouimittt?e inclines peo
pie to the view that t't.a.rman White
.it tho heal of the eomnuitee makes t
an adjimet to any aoibition that Mr.
Co tu.iy have for himself for th"
nomination iu l!.'i, or for the naming
of the candidate. That such a state of
mind on the part of Democrats weakers
tin strength of the committee for ef ,
feetive party servn-M need not be
argued. Chairman White has been re
ported at times as being somewhat n
rimed to beeon e t candidate for tb
Democrat in nomination for goverwo
of Ohio, wlnlo at other timet it has
been rumored that he planned to reaig i
and at other tones again as being d
termined to hold on to the position.
Koper Friendly To HeAaoo.
There is a well defined report
he has taken the position that he will

seriously considered for the position .
Daniel '. Koper, former Ctiimisiioriei

.s heard the er.'icism that I is a Hie

for p.ii y harmony to have a McAdoo
u.au at the head of the committee as it
w.ll be in top st its head a Cos man.
