Elected Governor. Mr. Wilson was elected governor of New Jersey by a plurality of about 50,060. The platform on which he ran contained much that is called radical, and up to this time the governor had been regarded as conservative. But he stood forth square on the platform ana dedicated all his energies and abilities to the carrying out of every pledge contained in that platform. As a natural consequence he at once found himself opposed by the reaction aries in the legislature, members of his party as well as others. He notified the people not to vote for him unless they wanted him to be the leader of the Demoeratiu warty In New Jersey, for such he rareii intended t & if elected. The booses paid Httle attention to this. They had heard something like it before, perhaps. But the governor bad scarcely taken his seat before it was "WOMEN'S STYLES JUST SHOCKING" Rlfad Woman Suddenly Recovers Her Sight After Four Years Lapse, and is Astonnded. Columbus. Ohio.. Nov. 6.

Princeton has been called a country club for rich men's sons. However, much or little it deserves this appella tion, the fact remains that it possesses more exclusive clubs than any other great institution in the country. There is a whole street of them and yet their total membership is confined to 3S0. These clubs are composed exclusively of the two upper classmen. This caddish aristocracy, abhorrent to the American spirit and equally abhrrrent to presi dent Wilson, had flourished at Prince ton for years until that institution was little more than a lounging place for the gilded sons of the rich. Dr. Wilson went In to change the whole thing. He 'proposed the establishment of the students on quadrangles and "Quads," each one to be composed of a certain number of students from each class together with perceptors. In other words, he tried to inject demo cratic spirit into the universitv life. Immediately be was denounced as a "leveler," a "socialist," a man who wanted to "make a 'gentleman' chum with a mucker." At first the trustees had approved the "Quad" plan by vote, but when this storm of protest and abuse broke they were frightened into withdrawing their approval. Then there was a long fight over the graduate college, in which instance a donor wanted to dictate to the trustees how his money was to be used. Dr. Wilson caused the trustees to refuse the donation and then another storm broke over his head for daring to re fuse money for Old Nassau. But his efforts went to naught An Made Cottolene v Saratoga Chips made with Cottolene are never greasy, as are those made with lard.

The most serious clash between the will of the governor and the will of the reactionaries in the legislature was over the primary election law, commonly called the Geran act. Those who have kept an eye on New Jersey pontics will recall the dramatic, although, quiet, entrance of governor Wilson into the caucus of the Demo cratic members of the legislature, who had gathered to perform the last sad rites over the Geran act and tenderly lay it in its grave. The governor lis tened, to the funeral speeches of the various members until they had all had their hearing and then he took the floor. With not even so much as a note by which to guide his thoughts, the governor talked to those lawmakers for three hours. Those who were pres ent say they will never forget that' occasion. In even, conversational tones, but with a vibrant persuasive quality in his voice that thrilled everyone, the governor talked the members out of their position and the bill was reported favorably, and thus New Jersey has an election law as advanced as any state in the union ' 'Wins Legislature. Then the New Jersey legislature, mastered by its governor, proceeded to enact reform measure after reform measure, and before it had concluded its first session under governor Wil son it enacted into law such progres sive measures as "The corrupt practices act," the employers' liability act. a most excellent public utilities act, a municipal commission government law, which gives any city in the state the right to adopt a commission form of government if it so desires, and the ! sterilization or anti-procreation act. But the fight the governor had with i the reactionaries in the legislature was as nothing compared with the one he j had with the big bosses as soon as he crossed ,ine personal amottien oi sen ator James Smith, jr. Defeats the Mighty Smith. The latter was the biggest bi-partisan boss in the state, pe had repre sented New Jersey once in the United States senate and he wanted to do it again. I In the state primary election, how ever, James Martine had received a large majority of the votes in the state. Smith's name was not on the primary ballot. He had neglected to put it there, thinking that when the time came for the legislature to elect a senator all he would have to do would be to notify that body that he desired to go to Washington, and the thing would be done. But again governor Wilson stepped In with his masterful will. Again he re minded the legislators that the people, at least a majority of them, had be spoke a preference for Martine and there was nothing for them to do but to ratify the -will of the people. The bosses gasped at the goveronr's temerity. How dared he oppose the mighty Smith? He dared, and he won. Naturally this brilliant record at tracted the attention of the entire na tion to the New Jersey governor. He was written about and talked about in every state and city throughout the ; country j Seeing the attitude of the country towards their favorite, the admirers of governor Wilson stood up and yelled, j "Whars the matter with Wilson for president?" I The echo of that query spread I throughout the nation and encouraging ; 1 answers began to come back on the j echo. And so his candidacy was launched. ' f Has Three Daughters.

NEARL Y 500G WA TCH HERALD BULLETINS Pioneer plaza was literally fHled . Tuesday night with people watching the Eii raso xiersua siereopiicon election returns flashed from the balcony of the McCoy Hotel to the front of The Herald building. The crowds were packed into the space between The Herald Building arfd the street car track and, then, with just room for the cars to pass, automobilists and pedes trians filled all the rest of the space back to the Sheldon hotel and the City National bank. From 6 oclock, when the first bulletin was flashed upon the screen, giving the news that state Republican chairman William Barnes, of New York, had con ceded that state to Wilson, throughout the evening, the cheering was lively. When the fire whistle at 7:19 blew the news of the election of Wilson, as flashed to the powerhouse by The Her ald by previous arrangement, there was a cheer that fairly made the build ings shake. About this time the pictures of Wilson and Roosevelt were flashed upon the screen and there were more cheers. The picture of Roosevelt, strangely as it may seem, elicited more prolonged and enthusiastic applause than that of Wilson. There were 4500 people by actual count in the plaza through most of the evening, eagerly watching forthe re turns, notwit 3tanding that early in the evening, the election of Wilson .had been assured. It was a good natured crowd and there were many exchanges of pleasantries between friends of dif ferent political faith. "I told joq so." "How does that hit you?" 'Now will you be good?" and "-Where is your Taft vote now?" were some ot the things that friends bandied at each other as they applauded a bulletin showing a Wilson victory in some state or city. There was much anxious waiting for the returns from Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Taft men holding out hope that these would be strong for their candi date, but the returns did not give them much satisfaction, even from the first. Whistles of surprise from many mingled .with cheers from others as states like Indiana and North Dakota, heretofore solid for the Republican ticket, wr marked up In the Demo cratic column. There was much wild cheering when the bulletin flashed the news that Roosevelt had carried Illinois. It was clearly apparent throughout the even ing that the crowd admired Roosevelt, even if the majority were not his sup-' porters. Every indication of a Roose velt gain got wild applause.
