A Verbal Heart Throb From a Wilson Speech
"THE GREAT VOICE OF AMERICA DOES NOT COME FROM SEATS OF LEARNING.
IT COMES IN A MURMUR FROM THE HILLS AND WOODS AND THE FARMS AND
FACTORIES AND THE MILLS, ROLLING ON AND GAINING VOLUME UNTIL IT
COMES TO US FROM THE HOMES OF COMMON MEN. DO THESE MURMURS
ECHO IN THE CORRIDORS OF UNIVERSITIES? I HAVE NOT HEARD THEM. UNI
VERSITIES WOULD MAKE MEN FORGET THEIR COMMON ORIGIN, FORGET THEIR
UNIVERSAL SYMPATHIES AND JOIN A CLASS AND NO CLASS CAN SERVE

Governor AVilson thus replied today
j to a bombardment of Questions hurled
at him by reporters. He looked rather
careworn and tired.
"1 don't know yet whether I shall
appoint McComhs my campaign inan-a;-ei
or suggest him for the chairman

1 1 aid. "I haven't decided whether I
! shall resign as governor of Xew Jersey,

i take up in due time with my friends."

To all thoughtful and generous

Wilson's friends are positive he will ;
not resign as governor until after tho '
first of in xt year, as under the Xew ;
(Jersey law the president of the senate'
automatically takes the governor's seat
upon the' hitter's resignation. John D.
I'liee. president of the senate, is a re-1
; uhhenn. The geivernor. his friends
say. would rather wait until a demo
' crat is elected president of the sena'e.
j Wilson this morning sent a congratu
I latory m ssaire- to Marshall. Wilson
' in a later statement paid a high tribute
j to Marshall both as an executive and
as a democrat.

Andrew, Assistant to Sec
retary of Treasury, Of
fers Resignation.
BUSINESS NEGLECTED
Charges Head of Department
Has Demoralized Affairs by
Procrastinating Attitude.
Washington. July 3. A. Tiatt An
drew today tendered his resignation
to the president as assistant secre
tary of the treasury. In a spirited let
ter to the president. Andrew writes of
conditions in the treasury department,
which are allege! to be due to the atti
tude of Secretary MacVeagh toward
many of his subordinates. Tne letter
charges subordinates have "been ham
pered and discouraged at every turn
by MacVeagh's Idiosyncrasies and his
incapacity for decision." It contains
a scathing arraignment of MacVeagh's
administration of "government affairs"
and created a profound sensation in
official circles.
Ill'MISKK AT 5TAnnil.l
Andrew tells the president thai for
a lone time much tieasury business
has been at a standstill because ui do
lays for which the secretary alone Is
responsible, but for which the peoples
outside harshly crlUciatd-hii sub if dl-
nate8. 7n(, secretary himself waj even
more harsh whenever he discovered
his subordinates had ventured to act
upon matters of minor importance
without waiting for bis decision, Au-
" . drew says.
DKrlMOV IIFI.lt I P.
They have been unable to carry on
business entrusted to them, he! con
tinues, and were often on the point of
1 resigimig. Decisions of MacVeagh. he
'declares, upon urgent questions, have
been held up for months. Andrew also
charges MacVeagh with being distrust
ful mid suspicious of many of th-?
higher treasury officials, and for
months at a time persistently "refused
even to speak to those officials of hia
department with whom he should na
turally have been in constant personal
communication."
I.OMl l-KOC II S I l TIO.
In this connection he mentions
the names of Mr. Hilles, formerly in
the treasury department, but now sec
rftary to the president; Treasurer
McClung, Director of the Bureau of
1'rlnting Ralph, and says there are
others besides himself.
Andrew refers to MacVeagh's "as
tounding capacity for procrastination,"
and cites instances in which he says
matters submitted to the secretary for
decision were held up so long they
settled themselves before a decision
was nnade.
I.4IIOHM I .MIKIl lllll.l SIIIV.
"There has never been a time," An
drew goes on, "since I have been in
