President Wilson ; in two speeches here and at Elizabeth. today redeemed his promise to return and fight for reforms which were pledged to the people while he was governor, but failed since his depart ure. Cheers and enthusiasm greeted the president as he faced the big crowds. Wilson predicted a contest for gov ernor of Xew Jersey next summer, and said that he selected a summer home In New Hampshire because he wanted nobody to say he wished to boss the Job. He said he has no can didate for governor, but opposes whomever is desired by certain gen tlemen. He said Xew Hampshire is in telegraphic. communication and anybody who wants to know what he thinks can learn by the asking. The president spoke of the demo cratic party. He said the country riid not go democratic last election iut said the people used the democ i aey as a means of accomplishing necessary results. He applied in ref erence to the national election to the state situation, saying if democrat 'ail to redeem the pledges the people try another party. The presi- vigorou-sly attacked the oppo nents to Jury reform. He said their .Ktion Is a disgrace to the Judicial system of the state and union. His speeches were greeted with cheers.

The democrats continued to cham pion the measure as tke greatest ever written for the people's benefit, and turned a deaf ear to the protests of the beet and cane sugar representa tives against free sugar in three years. Unmoved by the charge that they legislated into the h-nds of the beef trust by placing a outy on live stock. i the democrats are determined to rush j the passage of the bill at the earliest I moment possible.

He declared he believed the ways and meats commit tee kept the platform pledge by a re duction of the live stock rates to ten per cent, but thought It should have placed live stock on the free list with meats. The republicans cheered this. The sugar test vote came on Mann's amendment to strike out the provision placing sugar on the free list in three years and was defeated 88 to 166.
