WHERE WILSON STANDS Governor Woodrow Wilson in three speeches in New Jersey Tuesday night emphasized that he is not a believer in free trade and that the democratic y*rty does not inteud to disturb legitimate business or the prosperity of the country it' put into power. lie said he had related time and again in his speeches his policy of rutting out of the tariff merely the special privileges lodged in it.

ate of the United States would have yielded more promptly to the advice of the administration. "it is unworthy of men in public life to mislead the public thought after such a fashion, but I don't doubt the verdict on November sth. "1 don't limit m.v views by the democratic party. 1 look through the democratic party to the destinies of the United States and if the democratic party does not serve you after you have tried it. reject it and 1 will join you in rejecting it. “One of the evidences of the weakness of the regular republican party is Its misstatements and manifestations of despair on the billboards. They say Governor Wilson does not I sufficiently define his position on the tariff All we have to do to know Governor Wilson's position on the tariff is to be able to read the English languuK „>. In almost every speech i have defined my exact position. “I made it very clear in a speech at Philadelphia Monday night, and yet one of the papers this morning in Philadelphia announced that 1 had declared for tree trade Only this evening I had a telegram from a man in Wisconsin saying that the Detroit l-'rt • Press had announced that 1 had declared for free tntde. It was aw>.ward to characterize in my reply lo the management of the Detroit Free Press, for 1 have confined myself to polite language iu this caminiign "Hut for those who are curious and cannot read English I will explain my views again. "In the first place, I have not heard a aingle thoughtful democrat declare tor free trade. I have heard every democrat declaring for a policy of going through all the schedules of the tariff and finding all the illegitimate concealed privileges and cutting every one of them out, leaving absolutely sate every sound and health''ul fiber of every American business."

such a man is worthy of our vote* on election day because we can trust him to keep his word and make good. Vice President Sherman died last night. The question naturally arises at once: “How will this affect the election since Mr. Sherman is a can- 1 didate for re-election?" To be brief, it need not affect it In the least, as the names of the nominees for president and vice president do not appear on the ballot. The votes are cast sor 1 electors who elect the president awl vice president, and to them will be left the duty, should the republicans ■I be successful. The national coromitmltteo will no doubt name some one t to take the place of Mr. Sherman and s for that place is mentioned Hadley of Missouri, EaFollette of Wisconsin, > Fairbanks of Indiana, and others. It - will not change the result of the «lec- * tlon. t There are many men in Adams t county, heretofore republicans, who i will refuse to be "pulled about by the . nose" in this altercation In their own . party. One leader advises them to , vote one way, the other says it won't 1 do at all. Consequently the only wise I thing for them to do is to vote for . Wilson. He is clean and straight aad ) capable and you will never regret a ,» vote cast for him. j

The rally in this city Saturday night I will be one of the rousing kind, with red fire, torchlights, music and enthusiasm in large chunks.
