Gay Scenes at Shadow Lawn.
Shadow Lawn, Long Branch,' N. J., Sept. 2. Over-!
hanging clouds and an occasional patter of rain greeted
President Wilson when he arose today prepared to take
up the party cudgel and begin his fight for re-election
A land breeze from the southwest indicated that the day
would be warm. A low mist hung over the ocean. The
forecast was possible that shovnrs might not mar the
gala notification ceremony, scheduled for 4 o'clock.
Despite the cloudy weather, however, the President
and Mrs. Wilson emerged from the mansion early for a
stroll around the grounds. The place is in a beautiful state
and ablaze with color. Gay bunting and streaming ban
ners are over every window. About the lawn hundreds
of American flags are streaming from long poles. Secret
eervice men and special deputies are scattered about the
grounds. More than two hundred are guarding the Pres
ident
filled with joyful Democrats , amid the increasing din of
horns, cow bells and other devices which contributed their
raucus cnorus to a general panaemonium.

dent Wilson received today at Shadow
Lawn, the summer White House, the

years of fiery, trial la the midst of af
fairs of unprecedented difficulty, and
the keen sense of added responsibility
with which this honor fills (I had al
most suld burdens) me as I think of
the great issues of national life and
policy Involved In the present snd lm

every personal aud of every mislead

energy I have to the service of the na
