WILSON PLANS A TOUR

GOVERNOR WILL TAKE STUMP IN CAMPAIGN. Maine Will Be First State Where Democratic Nominee Will Start His Speaking Trip. Sea Girt, N. J., July 26.—Contrary to his original Intention, Gov. Woodrow Wilson will not ponduct a dignified stay-at-home campaign for the presidency, though many of his friends have advised this course. The governor will profit by the experience of Judge Parker, who. when nominated for the presidency in 1904, remained at Esopus for the better part of the campaign, going to New York only when the fight seemed to be’ lost. The governor will first go to Maine, where the election takes place on the first Tuesday in September. Governor WilSon will make a thorough tour of that state in the hope of carrying Maine and thus encouraging the other doubtful states to fall in line. Governor Wilson will stump Connecticut in company with Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin. He will tour Missouri with Speaker Champ Clark, in order to assure the country that he and his most important convention adversary are on the most friendly terms. The same policy will be pursued with Oscar XV. Lnderwood, only, of Course, it will be tinnecessary to make a hard fight in a state so safely Democratic as Alabama. Underwood will accompany Wilson in some of the doubtful states. Indiana will be stumped with Gov. Thomas R. Marshall, the vice-presidential nominee. In Ohio Wilson and Gov. Judson Harmon will join forces and appear jointly at the big rallies.
