' HIM BY JOSEPH P. Tl'MlLTY
CHAPTER IX.
(Continued.)
A PARTY SPLIT.
Almost M if it were an academic
question, with which he had no per
acnal eoneern, he propounded 0,8
alternatives; Should he lead the fight
again it Senator Smith or should he
taad aloof and permit the Legisla
ture tr art without any . suggestion,
from himl He summarised the argu
ment of hie friends at Princeton
who were advising him to eteer clenr
of this fight and not parmit himself
tft be drawn into it by young, impe
tuous people like myself. He trajd
that certain overtures and suggestions
f compromises had been made to him
by - Senator Smith's friends, to the
affect that if he would not play a lead
ing part in the fight and allow his
Legislature to act without interference
from him, Senator Smith and his
friendf in the State would agree not
te- oppo hia. ..le.gUla.tiTe program at
the coming session. It was further sug
gested' that Senator Smith had tie
neeesaary rotes to elect himself and
that it would be futile to attempt to
elect Jim Martine; and that hia, in
Urrentiou in tjiia family quarrel
would result in bitter and kumlliat
iag defeat for him at the very outset

ehallefigff-sto defiantly addressed to
him by thtj Democratic bossei of the
8tate. J
Giving Him Advice.
Frankly, I laid the whole ease before
him in words to thia ecett: ''My dear
Doctor Wilson, there is no way I can
better aerve you than by frankly deal
ing with the question. Your friends
away off in Princeton probably do not
knew now for years our party ana its
destinies have been in, the hands of
theae very men, enemies of liberal
ism in New Jersey, who by your si
lence or indifference as to the Cnited
States Benatorship are to be given a
new lease on life. The issue involved
in thia fight is fundamental and goes
far beyond the Senatorslnp. -The ac
tion yon take will have a far-reaehiug
effect upon our party's fortunes, and
no one can calculate the effect it will
undoubtedly have on your own political
future. In urging you not to take part
in this fight your friends are acting
unwisely. You cannut afford not to
fight and not to have an immedi
ate test of your leadership in this
matter. ' The question of Mr. Mar
tine's fitness, as jour friends urge
is not an issue seriously to be con
. eidered. Forty seven thousand four
hundred and fifty-four voters in the
State have decided th:it matter, and
4 you rannot reverse their verdict. Your
i friends have placed too much em
phasis od Marline's alleged unfitnesj
and too little on the duty you owe
f the party and the State as leader."
''I called to his attention the fact tha:
men like myself h.iM been heartened
and encouraged by his speeches in the
f campaign; how we felt that at last we
had found in him a leader, bold and
' fearless, and that now. when the first
real test of leadership came, it ap
peared that we were to he disappoint
ed, and that by his silence and iaae
t tion he would permit Senator Smith
to win and allow Martine, the popular
choice, to be defeated, thus setting
aside the verdict of the election.
He listened intently, but without
n comment, to all 1 had to say, Proceed
ing with my argument, I said: "The
people of New Jersey accepted your
word, and, to use your own phrase,
'Took a sportsman's chance on you,'
and they must not be disappointed.
Your failure to make this fight will
mean that you have not only surrend
ered your leadership as Governor in
thia matter, but by the same act you
will have abdicated your leadership
in favor of the Old (iuard all along
the line. They have set a trap for
you, and you must not permit yourself
f to be caught in it. In conclusion' I
aid; They say they will support
your reform program. What assur
ance have you that, having defeated
you in this your first big fight, they
will not turn on you and defeat your
whole legislative program! As Gov
ernor, you have the power to lead us tt
a great victory in this vital mattw.
Exercise it now, and opinion throughout
the State will strongly and enthuaas-
tieally support you. You have but to
announce your willingness to lead and
the, people of the State will rally to
your standard. The fight, in any event,
wijl be made, and we wish you to lead
it, Thia is really the first tep to the

OVERMAN THINKS
TUMULTY IS FINE
Senator Says Articles On Wil
son Distinct Contribution
To History
The News and Observer Bureau,
603 District National Bank Bldg
By EDWARD K. BRITTON
(By Special Leased Wire)
Washington, Not. 2. "Tie Tumulty
story oa Woodrow Wilson ia a distinct
contribution to political history," said
Senator Overman this afternoon in
talking of the series and continued:
The Newa and Observer is doing i
service to Democracy by publishing the
articles, as well as a service to the
country. Every American should read
the articles. Mr. Tumulty, as secre
tary to Governor Wilson and President
Wilson had a wonderful opportunity tJ
know that great American intimately
and hia articles show that he grasped
that opportunity. The style of the ar
ticles is direct, clear, convincing, with
a human touch that makes them most
readable. His picture of Woodrow
Wilson, the man is the drawing of one
who knows. I am reading the articles
with intimate interest. They throw
light on many things not understonl
throughout the country and ara vivid
in their portrayal of Intimate oeruT
rencea that only Mr. Tumulty could
know. No better record of President
Wilson and his career could be given
unless it were a record written by the
former President himself."
Congreaaman A. L. Bulwlnkle of the
Ninth North Carolina district expresses
himself as being delighted with th:
Tumulty series. He says: "Woodrow
Wilson As I Know Him," now being
published in The News and Observer,
written by President Wilson's former
Secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, should
be read with interest by every citiien
of North ' Carolina.' ' The-' MrBcler a'p'
pearing in The Newa aad Observer are
well written and readable, and from
an .historical standpoint are invalu
able to every student of the history of
the great war."
The Tumulty articles appearing daily
ia The Newa aad Observer are being
followed closely by the thinking pcopl;
of the State. Aa evidence of the value
placed upon these contributions to pre
'atBf day ""hlahrtr'are "the fTrllwirrg
presslona from President Few, of Trin
ity College and Mayor Eldridge, of
Raleigh:
President Few, Trinity College: i
sm following with absorbing interest tho
Tumulty articles now running in The
Newa aad Observer. Woodrow Wil
son ' waa an outstanding figure In a
world stage and every bit of authentic
information abouthim in the great
year will eemmand the attention of all
the world. These intimate studies by
one who had the best chance to know
him are apt to surpass in interest and
value anything else of the kind that
will appear in this generation. I con
gratulate your readers on their pres
ent good fortune.
Mayor Eldridge, Raleigh: Whatever
other merit they may have or lack, the
Tumulty recollections of Woodrow Wil
son's political and official career com
pel attention. Having begun to read,
one cannot lay the paper down until
he has finished the installment. The
candor of. the writer is equaled only by
the freedom with wrsli ho hands out
information regarding White House
secrets. The reading public ia indebted
to Tumulty for making it bettor ae
quainted with the pedagogue governor
President at a time whl-ti the world's
most momentous history wns being
made.
Judge George P. Pell, Raleigh: Pns
sibly with the exception of a few con
trihutions from Savoyard, the articles
written by Mr. Tumulty on Kx Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson have been tin
most in tw resting articles that I have
ever seen in The News and Observer.
In fact they rrave served a great pur
poso in keeping history straight. So
many of the ex-President's friends
have never understood his true re
lations to Messrs. McC'onibs and liar
vey, that I am delighted that Mr. Turn
ulty has attempted to give the truth.
The Democratic party owes him a great
debt for clearing the atmosphere,
GERMAN MARKS DROP
TO A NEW LOW LEVEL
New York, Nov. 2. German marks
which passed in this country at L'3 8-10
cents before the war, today broke to n
new low record, selling at a small frac
tion over one half of onu cent, after
an early bid price of exactly one half
cent.
Trading in marks at the new mini
mum waa small and chiefly speculative,
according to dealers, who nFcribed the
further collapse to Germany's enormous
outpourings of paper tnonev.
Before noon stiU further declines
took place, a number of sales being re
corded at 49 12 cents a hundred marks
or lees than a half rent apiece.
FIRST PASSENGER TRAIN IN

Washington, N. I'., Nor. 2. For

INDIANA MINERS
QUIT THEIRJOBS
More Than 25,000 Walk Out in
"Protest" Strike; No Call
For Walk-out Yet
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. T Delay in
the spread of the "protest" strike of
soft coal miners, started today by
walkouts of 25,000 union workers clos
ing more than 200 mines in Indiana.
was anticipated tonight by officials ofj
the Lnited Mine Workers of America,
who said developments awaited the dis
continuance by operators of the union
"check off" of dues from miners wagei
niMrWirtl'a-'try'-'lrt 'wirt'-,rrrjtrlte'
tion.
Indications were th;it union officials
would rot call out the men, scattered
thruoghout the soft coal fields of the
country, until coiiertinn of "check-off"
was actually ceased by the operators.
First official report of -action by oper
ators elsewhere than in Indiana reached
union headquarters tonight from the
Pennsylvania bituminous district. The
mersrrce from Rlert K. (rtbimrts, prei
dl'nt of the district said the "check off"
would be stopped with the next pay
day, ti e date of which was not given,
but which indicated a probable delay
in any strike order affecting- forty thou
sand workers in that field.
Indiana workers, however, did not
withhold their strike to n;ut a formal
uotiro frum the operators, whose notice
stopping the "checkoff" has been
drafted by counsel for their essoeis
tion. None of the important mines in
tho State worked today and reports to
both heli'l'iuarters of operators anil the
union said that only sixteen mines wfre

The only court action today was the
approval by .lii'le Anderson of a bond
filed by the Honlerlind Coal Corpora
tion, complainant iu the injunction
suit.
The court action, followed by service
of the writ on union men and opera
tors, m.-iile the injunction effective.
1'lnns for hastening the appeal of the
injunction decision to tho circuit court
of appeal at Chieago niso were made
by counsel for the union and the op
erntors, but preparation of the iiiimer
ous documents in the case delayed the
presentation of their appeal to Judge
Anderson. Counsel, however, regarded
tho appeal petition as a perfunctory
request which would be approved by
Judge Anderson as soon as presented,
probably tomorrow.
HARDING CELEBRATES
HIS 56TH BIRTHDAY
Washington, Nor. 2 President
Harding celebrated hia 56th birth
day today quietly at the White
House ae special program having

Krorcs of congratulatory letters and
telegrams were received during the

Denver. Colo.. Nov. 2. The body of
Mis. William Cody lies today in the
grave w-ith her husband, "Buffalo Bill,"
famous scout and Indian fighter, nt the

of The Senate
Washington, Nov. Deploring the
effort to put a sales t.n through the

to bring in a sales tax in connection
with the soldier bonus bill, which he
said would be reported during the com

"We want to reserve the sales tax for

Congress reconvenes." '
Ultimatum to Senate.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Kordrey. Rep
resentative Green, of Iowa, and Hepre

Republicans on the ways and menus

that under no condition would the House
agree to a sales tax nt this time.
With proponents of the Smoot plan
claiming only five votes less than a ma
jority for tho sales tax, some Republican
Senate leaders thought the fate of that
proposition would be decided by dis. us
sions on the Senate tlppr.
This is the view of Senator Penrose,
of Pennsylvania, in charge of the tax
revision bill, who said he would insist
upon full and free dif .-ussion. He
added that while he would not oppose a
sides tax, he was not prepared to vote
for it and added that "the finance coin
iintlee thought it was best to leave de
cision on the sales tax to the Senate
itself."
Means Radical Change.
"It UK-ana very radical revision of
the whole tan syst'-ni," Mr. Penrose said,
"and it was agreed that the committee
ought not to lake any stand on such an
important and far reaching matter."
The latest canvass of the Senate today
by leaders was said to have shown thirty
Republican Senators for the sales tax.

with six absent or not polled. Two
Democrats wire represented as favoring
this form of taxation with three others

was held and those ia charge of the
measure hoped that by tomorrow the

Changes made in the bill included the
addition of a five cents a gallon tax on

three cents a pound in the proposed
rate on carbonic acid gas.
