F _? WILSON'S PLEA ~ 5 FOR JERSEY REFORM? wilt loni President WuKiiiK Fight For His out' State For Fqual Justice?McDer- in 1 mott Openly Defies Him During an(' Xoou Hour legislative Confer- to 1 ence. Jersey City, N. J., May 3.?President Wilson last night interpreted Dei the fight in New Jersey for jury re- spo form and constitutional revision as " a part of the struggle of the Amerl- of tKe/vi.oh t It n .11.,J \iiii |mc i\j uui?m tuiuugii vnc uiM Democratic party equal justice to all and special privilege to none. tio't Though he made no reference to pici legislative policies pending in not Washington the l'resident Indicated Stai that the protests being voiced whc against the tariff bill were these of it? the special interests and not the for masses. Una "Some of my fellow citizens and law some of their colleagues in Wash- tion ington City," he said, "now think any that they a e hearing the voice of whi the people of tlie United States met when they are only hearing the part in 1 that has become vocal by moving whi down to Washington and insisting just upon its special interests. thei OFFICE IN WASHINGTON. whc "As I sit in my office In Wash- cort ington there are windows only on lurt one side of the room and those win- moi; dows look out upon a park and the vlev Potomac river and the shores of Are Virginia on the other side and I this cannot see Washington through iace these windows, though I sometimes God think that I can, because Washing- and ton behind me is seething with special representatives of little things who are almost storming at the doors of this office itself, whereas g, out here are cool, large spaces of ". the United States. And I would , rather hear the whispers coming in at these windows than the strident ,e*. arguments coming in at those ea doors." en^* The President had spent a strenuous day lighting throughout for |?e the reform which he came to New Jersey to advocate. Tonight in the woi| last speech of his trip, applause and expressions of approval interrupted u| him frequently as he assailed the '):U influences in the state which he >'ear claimed were managing the popu- c lous country for private purposes. coul The President early in his ramarks r?UI referred to the incident in the legIslative conferences during the noon ^ c liour when Assemblyman McDer- aatM uiott openly defied hint and fired scac such a series of questions at Mr. ^ie' Wilson that Acting Governor wan Fielder intervened to prevent an ?.r embarrasing situation. "Your very generous reception of ^ me tonight," remarked the Presldent, "makes me feel very much can more comfortable than I did this and forenoon for example in another P'e pari of the city where the tender ,ina sensibilities of one of the assembly- awa men from this county led him to stan conclude it an affront to his per- ot sonal dignity, that I should without ()rt'' his invitation, have come into the sh?t county over which his influence so PeoI beneficently presided. You do not ter make me feel that I come with so '>* ' cold a welcome and to face so direct Wl,n a rebuke. I wish that you may do <0-? two opposite things tonight. 1 hope VOIl .viu forcot thnt T nt,i 1 ,1.... II of thf. United States, because 1 come '"K here as a Jerseyman, fulfilling all hold promises that I made to Jerseymen; 'nB and yet I want you to remember <1011that I am President of the United ('ar< States because it is the business of a,u' the President to see to it wherever disc he can that the people get what l*rs they have a right to expect. For 1 fere am not the servant of the Demo- at 1 cratic party. I am the servant of T tlii' people, acting through the Dem- tlies ocratic party, which has now under- thei taken some of the most solemn ob- 1 er t ligations that a party ever under- ties took, for it has stepped forward at the a moment of universal disappoint- thos meat and said: 'We pledge you our ject honor as men and as patriots that ise I you shall not be disappointed iron again.' B PARTY SITUATION. stat "This is the situation in which bene the Democratic party finds itself eonf ->*. and in the midst of this situation ever there are particular promises which with the Democratic party for example the in New Jersey had given the peo- fron pie. One of the things which has stor made thoughtful men in this county man most inensy, in that criminal justice man was touched at its source by per- trad verting political influence and that mak when a man stood in with the Tho sheriff's office he was safe front fere prosecution and that when he did lum not stand in with the sheriff's office he was in the position in which we all ought to be?responsible for T everything that he did against the I:i u. c.t Clin 1?. rwl "I present at a conference l< 1 today at which one of the gentle- on men in the assembly from the conn- !M'lr' ty of Essex asked me if I had said that the greater part of the delega- .iaJ. tion troni that county exercised no ' choice of its own but took orders. , %''1 "He did not aske me in titose words but the words do not make " any difference. Tliat is what I said ro and 1 said it not because I suspected it?but because I have lived in ol' the state a good many years. I was |ur! an observer and a very close obser- a p ver of the course of politics before aPp I ventured upon that uneasy sea and when I ventured upon that uneasy aft' sea I was not the landlubber I look- l,r01 ed. I know the gentleman who con- y/'a trolled the politics of Essex county, knew them? Why, the whole Uni- wa' ted States knew them!" ',os' PRESIDENT NOT DISTURBED. l",M The President indicated that he ^ne was not disturbed by the opposition ten he had encountered among mem- an(' bcrs of the legislature. Kav ''Somebody told tne," he said, w'n "that things were so tangled up here that jury reform wan going to lose anyhow and they said: 'Why come up and fight for a losing ^ cause?' Well I know my follow ^a'tJ citizens In New Jersey and I deny 1 that it Is a losing game. But sup- l,er pose It was I would rather have my *'OZl body one of the first to fall by the 'ow I \ I than one of the last.

Chattanooga, Tenn., May 5.? Perhaps the last pilgrimage they will make as a body to the famous battle grounds of Lookout Mountain, Chicakamauga and Mission Ridge, will be the 1913 reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, May 27-29. The railroads of the Southern Passenger Association have made a thirty-day rate of a cent a mile. The war department has loaned the requisite number of tents and cots in order that Chattanooga may suitably care for the 15,000 veterans who are expected to attend, and who will be lodged and fed free of all cost. The United Sons of Veterans will hold their reunian at the same place, May 27-29. They will bring with them the usual bevy of beautiful Southern women, as sponsors, maids of honor and cliaperones, all of whom will be lavishly entertained by the citizens of Chattanooga. Enthusiasm and interest never ran so high in the South over the annual reunion of the battle scarred veterans whose spectacular parade at Chattanooga is expected to be viewed by over 100,000 visitors in that city of like population. There Would be Some Excitement if All the Laws Were Enforced. In the April American Magizine, in the department called "The Interpreter's House," appears an exceedingly able and interesting dicussion of the police situation in our great cities. Following is an extract: "If the mayor and police of NewYork should conspire to enforce for forty-eigth hours all the laws on the statute book, indiscriminately without respect of persons, there would be a lurid riot, and the militia would patrol the streets. Dr. Parkliurst, Rabbi Wise and Mr. William Randolph Hearst migh grimly stand their ground a while, but it is ten to one that even they would be swept into the temper of the. mob. For instance, there is a law against Sunday labor; but should the Observer, church members and vestryman in regular standing, be haled before = the magistrate, though his clothes- tj1( line on Sunday afternoon proclaim y(1] to all Harlem that cleanliness is supplanting godliness?
