During the early summer of 1910
President Wilson was told by u num
ber of his friends that he could proba
bly have the Democratic nomination
for gorernor if he desired it. These
Intimations became so numerous nnd
no pointed and were accompanied by
so mnny assurances of the benefit the
party and the state would derive from
his acceptance that Mr. Wilaon was
constrained to lend them a favorable
ear.
And yet the prospective nominee was
profoundly puralcd. While sentiment
among the best class of voters through
out the state waa strong, the practical
overtures came from the organisation
headed by Smith. Mr. Wilson was per
fectly aware of ex-Senator Smith's po
UtfeaJ character and history. He knew
what the organization was. How could
snch a gang support him? Were they
deceiving themselves as to their man?
Did they fancy that his lifelong de
testation of corrupt politics was simply
nose? Did Smith regard the school
master aa a simple soul who would
hand out corporation favors without
knowing? Did he expect to get a Unit
ed States senatorship through the Dem
ocrntic leclslature which Wilson's pop
ularity was likely to elect?
On that point Mr. W ilson made spe
cific inquiry of the gentlemen who
came to him on their puzzling errand.
He required their nssurance that Mr.
Smith would not seek the senatorship.
Were he to do so while 1 was gov
ernor, he tola tnem, i siiouia nue to
oppose him. He represents everything
repugnant to my convictions. I hey
told him categorically that Smith had
no idea of going back to the senate;
that he was n man thought to be sick
with n dnngerous constitutional ail
ment and borne down by domestic be
reavement nnd that he was definitely
out of politics.
On Tuesday. July 12. 1MO. a number
of gentlemen gathered In a private
rooin of the Lawyers' club. 120 Broad
wny, New York, to Inquire of Mr. Wil
son whether he would allow his name
to be presented to the New Jersey
Democratic state convention.
On July 15 Mr. Wilson issued a pub
lic statement In which he said that if
It were the wish "of a decided majori
ty of the thoughtful Democrats of the
state" that he should be their candi
date for governor he would accept the
nomination.
The announcement caused a sensa
tion. It was received with enthusiasm
by many men of both parties. Yet
there were uot lacking those who
were so suspicious of Smith aud his
associate liosses that they could not
believe the nomination waa to be giv
en Mr. Wilson without pledges from
hltu. Again, some of the best and
most intelligent men of the Democrat
ic party, while they did not doubt the
integrity of the pnosed nominee, did
fear that his Inexperience in practical
politics would make him an easy in
strument of the gang. Mr Wilson had
been assured that only his conseut
was necessary for his unchallenged
nomination, but in fact opiosltlon to
it at once arose tind continued until
the convention balloted. Three other
Democrats Frank S. Kiitzentach.
George 8. Sllzer and II. Otto W'lttpeu
Immediately entered the ring.
After Issuing his statement Mr. Wil
son wetit to the little town of Lyme.
Coun.. where he hits leen In the habit
of spending his summers, mul-speut
his summer. He moved not ON of his
ten tinker m liehnlr or the nomlua
tlon. Certain other people, however,
were moving everything movable to
that end The fix t ili.it the Smith
crowd was advocating him puzzled
luiinv who otherwise would have been
his foremost supMrters. It was ouly
las Mr Wilson afterward learmsl to
his amazement) by sharp dragooning
that a iuhJo"Ii sufficient to make him
the choice was seated in the Trenton
convention on Sept I.V
The iw. !, made in tint hody by
Clarence Cole, formally puitlhi; I'rliu-e
ton's prc i n :: in nomination, was in
terrnpled jeer catcalls and sareas
tic questions . fVw remarks made
by Mr. Smith were, howeer, elosel
listened to. Tin- MM BMM said that he
bad no vrsoi;al aciiiaintanre with
Mr. Wilson. Mi Wilson and he did
not moe In the naire world. He had
never con erseu wi ll linn Had eon
ditious iieeu different be should have
preferred a candidate identified with
.he oiKtinlatlou. Hut It was neves
Miry to find u man who could be
elected.
These were sagacious sentences and
had the incidental merit of telling the
truth.
On the first ballot. 7U0 votes being
necessary to a choice. Woodrow Wil
aou received 741 and was declared the
nominee for governor. Hastily sum
moued from Priueetqu, eleven miles
away, he apiier.red ou the platform and
made a speech of acceptance so ring
but in Its assertion of independence
j and so lrumpf bitted In its Utterance
of the principle of progressive de- I
' mocrncy thnt the convention was fair- i
ly curled off Its feet. Few of the dele
gates had ever seen or heard Mr. Wll- j
son. Had he made thnt speech liefore i
i the ballot there would have lieen no
ballot. Having made It. he became the
I candidate of n united nnd enthusiastic
I party.
Now, this story of Mr. Wilson's noml
; nation Is worth telling in some detail
because, in the first place, it is a fun
ny story, in the light of its sequel,
and because. In the second plnce. It has
I to do with the charge of "Ingratitude"
the gravest brought against New
Jersey's governor.
After a few seeches In which it was
apparent that the nominee had a little
difficulty In bringing himself to ask
anybody to vote for him Mr Wilson
developed unusual power as a cam
paigner. This candidate had things to
say on which his convictions were so
strong and his sense of their Impor
tance so great thut be soon learned
language that cnught the ear and won
the warm attention of the great body
of the plain voters of New Jersey. He
talked to them of the need of drag
ging public business out of private
rooms, where secret Interests and pro
fessional political Jobbers conspire, Into
the open air where all might see what
is being done; of the need of new po
litical machinery that the people
might resume the control of their own
affairs; he talked of the vast social and
industrial changes of the past twenty
years, making necessary the renova
tion of all our old social and indus
trial Ideas: of the need of new rela
tions between worklngmen and their
employers, now that these are days of
great corporations; of the need of reg
ulating strictly those corporations;
talked simply, straightforwardly, of
ill manner of specific public things In
a way that brought them home to the
individual voter with a new sense of
his own personal concern in them and
awakened in him a new realization of
his duty, his power and his opportu
nity. He not only did this he lifted
political discussion to a new plane till
at every meeting the audience was
thrilled with the consciousness that
the problems of today are gigantic,
critical, big with the purposes of Prov
idence, as they heard this man picture
them on the broad background of his
tory in the inspiration or a soul aflame
with love of common humanity and
faith in Its progress toward splendid
futures.

Land Value Almost Doubled
HEN a Lee county, Illinois, farmer
bought a run down 400-acre farm,
his neighbors thought he had made a
bad bargain. After three years' soil
treatment by scientific methods, he
raised more than eighty bushels of corn to the
acre on land that produced less than thirty
bushels the first year he farmed it.
It is no longer unusual for us to get reports
from farmers who have been using manure
spreaders consistently for periods ranging from
three to five years, to the effect that their land
is regularly raising so much more produce that
the value of the land is almost doubled.
I H C Manure Spreaders
are made in various styles and sizes to meet
all conditions. The low machines are not too
low to be hauled, loaded, through deep mud or
snow. I H C spreaders are made with trussed
steel frames in wide, medium and narrow
styles; all of guaranteed capacity. There are
both return and endless aprons. In short,
there is an I H C spreader built to meet your
conditions and made to spread manure, straw,
lime, or ashes as required.
I H C spreaders will spread manure evenly
on the level, going up hill, or down. The
wheel rims are wide and equipped with Z-shaped
lugs, which provide ample tractive power. The
rear axle is located well under the body and
carries most of the load. The apron moves
on large rollers. The beater drive is posi
tive, but the chain wears only one side. The
I H C dealer will show you the most effective
machine for your work. You can get cata
