- ing unt VOL. LIV.—NO. 161 NORWICH, CONN., THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1912 The Bulletin's Circulation in Norwich is Double That of Any Other “Papar, and Its Total Circulation is the Large THOUSANDS VISIT WILSON'S HOME Democratic Pro;idential Nominee Puts in a Stren- uous Day Shaking Hands of Callers TWELVE POUNDS OF TELEGRAMS RECEIVED Over 160 of Them From Republicans Pledging Their Support —Democratic National Committee to Call Today to Map Out Plan of Campaign— Governor Baldwin Wires a Unique Meuage—Olive Branch to Political Enemies. . Sea Girt, J., July 3—Upon the visit here tumorrow of the national committee awaits the planning of the democratic campaign. Until the com- mittee’s arrival Governor Wilson will say no word of the form which he expects the line of battle to take. The committee will visit the nomi- nee in a body at his summer home. 1t is expected here at 2.17 in the aft- ernoon and after luncheon under the trees on the governor's lawn, will meet in conference with him. At this meet- ing, the governor expects to discuss with the committeemen three things, namely: The platform, the chair- manship of the committee, and the campaign trip or trips, Has Not Yet Read Platform. At nine o'clock tonight the govern- or's callers had given him no oppor- tunity to read the platform. He said he would read it closely during the evening. Untl he should have digested it, he said he would not discuss it, either in its entirety or by planks, Governor Wilson made it clear to- night that his “mind was open” on the chairmanship. He bad made no se- lection, he said, nor would he choose the man until after the oconference. Three names were oftenest on his call- ers’ lips today in this connection, but when sach was suggested to the gov- ernor tonight he had but one reply: 1 have made no choice.” Prefers Not to Make Campaign Trips. The men in question wers William F. McCombs, the Princeton graduate and lawyer, who managed the governor's primary campaign; Robert S. Huds- peth of Jersey City, twice eastern campaign manager of the demoocratic party; and Senator O'Gorman of New York, whom the governor regards as an ardent and capable supporters. The governor's close friends thought his cholce would be among these three, with chances favoring McCombs. As to the campaign trips, the govern- or has strong personal leanings to re- main at home. He said tonight that he wished he would not have to stir from Sea Girt. He fears his counsel- lors tomorrow will advise a long tour. they could show him how it would help, he said, he would go willingly. At the same time, he added, he would not efface himself in the discussion on this point and would make his desires known. Invites Two Political Enemie The governor waved the olive branch tomight in the direction of former United States Senator James Smith, Jr. by expressing a wish that Mr. th visit him here next Monday with Wilson men of New Jersey's dele- gation to Baltimore. Governor W son included James R. Nugent, Mr. Smith's friend and lieutenant, also in the invitation When informed that Mr. Nugent was reported to have given owt an inter- iew declaring he would support the nominee, Governor Wilson expressed a keen desire to see it and “get ac- quainted with Mr. Nugent again.” Governor Baldwin's Telegram, Twel pounds of telegrams were received at the governor's cottage to- da The governors mail, already eav ched mammoth proportions. most interesting to him of tters was one from Gov- Baldwin of Connecticut, which oy o read I hope the platform will be shorter than some have been. It will have to very d to prevent your carrying Connecticut.” Many Republicans to Vote for Him. More than 160 telegrams were re- ceived from men who said they were republicans and intended to vote for overnor Wilson. One of them, a Se- &ltle man, said every republican his ward, save two, would vote for Wilson, It was nearing midnight when the gov. rnor retired. He was reminded that tbmorrow was T know it,” he said, legal holiday, but I fear it will strenuous one for me.” Thousands of Visitors Yesterday. tis a overnor Wilson was given little me to de 1o his personal affairs or bis family tod: From early morn- ing his summer home was besieged gm-. visitors—thousands of them. mndreds of moter cars dumped fam- parties on Governor Wilson's lawn, regiments of men, women and ren on fout trod down the shrub- bery, camped on his poreh, climbed on he brass cannon in front of his resi- dence and repeated in the handshak- the governor's right arm was lame. But he did not show wearines had a smile for each newcomer and a hand clasp even for the smallest giris and the boys who will not vote for a dozen years or more. When they would not come in the governor came out and waved his hand or took off his soft, brown hat. Answer to Bryan's Telegram. In the midst of all the present day activit, t by bit there are coming to light incidents of Governor Wil- son's making during the convention and immediately prior thereto. Today his secretary told the history of the telegram to Willam J. Bryan in an- swer to Mr. Bryan's message declar- ing against the selection of Alton B. Parker as temporary chairman of the convention. “As soon as Mr. became public, even before it reached the governor,” the secretary :aid, “The Wilson managers at Baitimore got the governor on the telephone. Don't answer the message until you hear from us.” they begged. And the governor said he wonldn't, Refused to Dodge the Issue. “Down at Baltimore they rigged up & rough draft of a reply and sent it to the governor. He read it and hand- ed It to me It was wishy-washy, dodging the issue and straddling the question. The governor took it from my hands, It won't do, Joe' he sald, as he tare it info bits, “The people srpact mors than this of me, [t wouldn't be 18t o them or myself if 1 used this, Come upstairs and we'll fx up an- ether one’ ‘Up in his reom, he ook a pad, He Bryan's message placed it across his knee, and wrote his answer to Mr. Bryan; without crossing out a single word he had put down.” Republican Chairman Calls. Governor Wilson had many pleas- ant interchanges of courtesies with his visitors today, many of whom were members of other parties than that of which he is the standard bearer. Once, when Gilmore E. Kinney of Jer- sey City dropped in for a moment and remarked that his family was in the automobile a hundred yards down the roadway, the governor came out and walked down the road to meet them. Mr. Kinney is chairman of the Hudson county republican committee, which met at his call a few nights ago to endorse Taft, but endorsed Roosevelt instead. . ¥ “I wasn't looking for such a big bunch of members,” he explained to the governor. ‘“They piled 'em in on me outrageously, sir.” Poses for Moving Pictures. The governor laughed and bade them good-bye. He was halted by a man with a moving picture machine and bowed and smiled and looked east and west and did a dozen other things for the films. From that moment he was marked for snap shotting. They trained the lens on his front porch and not & step was made outside his door- way today that will not be thrown on the screen, It seemed as if every visitor of all the throng were an old classmate, a former pupil, a dear, dear friend, or a political astrologer who had known that it was going to happen ever so long ago, so long he had all but for- gotten it. There were a dozen who “used to call him Tommy"”; scores who could quote his exact language on in- numerable occasions and topics, hun- dreds who knew he was a man of des- tiny, and seemingly innumerable “orig- inal Woodrow Wilson” men. And they did not mind saying so. Wore 19 Wiison Badges. Gilbert J. Waller, a delegate to the Bajtimore convention, dropped in on his way home to Honolulu to-tell the governor that Hawaii could not see anything but Wilson, Williamy L. Saun- ders took a day off from his factory at Plainfield, N. J,, and motored down with 19 Wilson badges pinned on his coat and a megaphone in his hand. But the governor saw him first and put*his hand to his mouth and shouted a greeting. There was nothing left but to shout second and this Mr. Saunders did through his megaphone with quite a crestfalien air. MURPHY PRAISES TICKET. Tammany Boss and Other Yorkers Predict Victory. New New York, July 3—Charles F. Mur- phy, United States Senator O’Gor- man ,and a number of Tammany lead- ers and delegates arrived from Balti- more late today, wearied from the hard work in Baltimore, but all ex- pressing elation over the outcome. “It is a great ticket and one that I am sure promises success all along the line,” said Mr. Murphy as he alighted from the train. The candidates should command the support of the people in every section.” Senator O'Gorman said Wilson and Marshall would receive a “majority of the vote of the independent voters of the country.” He declared that not- withstanding the sharp rivalry be- tween candidates and their friends, there never was a convention of such harmony. “When we adjourned,” he said, “there was nothing but a feeling of confidence in victory next Novem- ber.” . John B. Stanchfield, who was spokesman for the New York delega- tion at Baltimore in reply to Bryan's attack, said: “The ticket nominated at Baltimore is one of the best presented to the people by the democratic party since Grover Cleveland.” Nugent Buries the Hatchet. Newark, N. J, July James R. Nugent, the Essex county leader, who was deposed from the state democratic chairmanship after a bitter attack on Governor Wllson last winter, and was ona of the four New Jersey delegates oppased to him at Baltimore, declared today that the Essex county organiza- tion would give Governor Wilson loyal support in the presidential campalgn.

The author of the resolution had this | to say about it: “If half of what Mr. Andrew says is true, then the state of things in the treasury department has developed in- to a positive travesty. An investiga- tion might develop the fact that the whole machinery of the government has been thrown into the state of chaos, confusion and strife which has overwhelmed the affairs of the admin- istration as the result of the upheaval in the republican party of the nation.

Oyster Bay, N, Y., July 3—~With the democratic national ticket in the field, Colonel Roosevelt and a group of his lieutenants today took up the work of laying the foundation upon which they hope to build a new party. Since the birth of the party In Chicago little has been done, as Colonel Roosevelt sald he felt it necessary to await the outcome at Baltimore. The situation in the ht of the nomination of Woodrow Wilson was discussed at a conference at Sagamore Hill which was attended by Senator Dixon of Montana, Willlam Flinn of Pittsburg, George W. Porking and Frank A. Munsey of New York and E. A. Van Valkenberg of Phlla- delphia No Thought of Abandoning Fight. The presence of these men at Saga more Hill gave rise to reports that tha third party movement had suffered a serious setback as a result of the se- lection of candidates by the demo- cratic convention and that some of Colonel Rooseveit’s leaders were In fa- vor of abandoning the fight Colone! Roosevelt denied this emphatically “There no thought of abandon- ing the fight,” said he “These men simply came to talk over the situation with me a call i to discuss detalls of the for the convention.” Did Not Expect Osborn's Support. The s ment of Governor Osborn of Michigan, one of the seven gover- nors vho asked Colonel Roosevelt to become a candidate for the republican nomination, that ir his opinion no third party was now necessary, was cited to the colonel as one reason for the reports that all was not going well with the movement “Governor Osborn has sald about the same thing before,” he said. “I1 4id not expect to have his support. We are going to have some losses of this sort. Governor Hadley came out for Taft, Governor Osborn for flson. Our plans will not be affected. In No Way Discouraged. © Colonel Roosevelt predicted several weeks hefore the Chicago convention that after all the nominations had been made there would be a period of slow movement such as has boen ex- perienced in the first weeks after he entered the campaign for the repubil- can presidential nomination in Febru- a He sald He was in no way dis- couraged at the outlook, but on the contrary had received assurances of ipport from every section of the country. He would express no opinlon of the chance of his ultimate success Looks for Support in South. From what has been said by Colonel Roosevelt and his supporters it is be lieved that several distinctive issues will be brought into the campaien Foremost will be, according to the present plans, the argument that the course of affairs n both the republi can and the democratic comventions and in the recent history of the conn try has demonstrated the need of a new party which will be national In scope and which will go on record as to “hosses” such as Colonel has said flourished with power among hoth the demo- Colonel that he will ba able this argnment with ef- fecttveness In the south and in the and that he will gain a large measure of support south of the Mason and Dixon Roogevelt to present Decided Upon sevelt was asked would bs named “Search me, by George!™ he replisd. “The names I have heard most fre- quently mentloned are progressive party and national progfessive party.
