"LUCILLE LCVE, THE GIRL OF MYSTERY" HARRISBURG lfli§fßi TELEGRAPH LXXXIII— Wilson Administration Is Repudiated in N. J.; Big Republican Victory "Personally Picked" Candidate of President Defeated by Over 5,000 Votes; White House Influence Fails to Save Him; Women Knock Out 1,000 Saloons in Illinois Pateroon, S, J„ Vprll B.—President Wilson ami the Democratic national administration was repudiated in New Jersey yesterday. Practically complete returns from the election In the seventh New Jer sey congressional district show that Dow 11. Drukker. Republican, has beaten James J. O'Bryne, Democrat, by a plurality of more than 5.000 votes. Drukker received 10,020 votes and O'Hryne 5,21(1 while Demurest. .So cialist, is a close tliird wltli 5,053. Whitehead, Progressive, received but 011 votes, a big falling off from the Progressive vote of 1912 when Roosevelt carried the district by 891 votes. Wilson Kndorsed O'Hryne O'Bryne had the persoiuil endorse ment of President Wilson and In his campaign the Democratic candidate appealed to the voters to supporl him and thus approve of the President's |K)iicies. Democratic leaders, nevertheless, io-day refused to accept the result as ft repudiation of the administration. They asserted that the reapportion ment of 1912, which divorced Passaic from Bergen and Sussex counties and made it a district by itself, left a nor mal Republican plurality. They called the election of the late Congressman Robert G. Bremner, a Democrat, in this district, a personal success and accounted Drukker's victory on the same ground. Judgment of Public Representative Woods, of lowa, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, issued this statement: "For the second time in fourteen years a Republican has been elected to succeed a Democrat in Congress from the Seventh district of New Jer sey. By hia letter endorsing the Democratic candidate the President asked the people of the New Jersey district to 'pass judgment upon the present administration.' The people have done so in no uncertain terms, rebuking the un-American policy of the Democratic party by a vote of two v 'o one. The small vote cast for tho I'Jull Moose candidate evidences again that tho Republicans are united and presages the election of a Republican Congress next November." Discredited at Home United States Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky, said in a speech at a Democratic mass meeting Monday night that the issue was whether the voters wanted to uphold the efforts of the President or to repudiate him. United States Senator J. Hamilton Lewis declared on the same platform that if the election was adverse to the tilings for which the President stands it would be charged that his home .State had turned against him and that in New Jersey he "was dishonored " The Republican leaders were in fine humor to-day and declared that Druk ker's unprecedented Republican sweep of the district presaged a Republican victory in New Jersey and elsewhere at the general elections in the Fall. Slap at Wilson Washington regards the election of Gallivan, a Democrat, In the Twelfth Massachusetts congressional district, and Drukker ,a Republican, in the .Seventh New Jersey district, as indi cating a decided slump In President Wilson's prestige and as likely to have i pronounced effect on the future of line canal tolls problem in the Senate adverse to the President's program.

The plan is addressed to the Repub lican conventions of the several States, which are asked to ratify the action of the national body before January 1, 1915. A special committee composed of Charles R. Warren, of Michigan; Senator William K. Borah, of Idaho, and ex-Governor Henry D. Hatfield, of West Virginia, drafted the report of the action taken in December, which embodies other resolutions adopted by the national committee. These guar antee: Recognition, in the call to be issued for the next national convention, of the right of any State to provide for the election of delegates in direct pri maries. The right of any State to elect all delegates from the State-at-large, or part from the State at large and part from congressional districts. Kliminatc Contests These provisions were adopted with a view to eliminating contests before the national body such as in the past have produced discord and dissension. Some members of the national com mittee, spurred on by the insistent de mands of a large body of voters, sought to have the committee call a special convention for the purpose of adopting a new basis of representa tion, but the opinion prevailed of those who maintained that inasmuch as no methods were provided by ttie existing laws of the various States for the elec tion of delegates to such a convention in direct primary elections, the special [Continued on Page 5.] SUICIDE S BODY IS FOUND PROPPED UP AGAINSTTOMBSTONE Suicide Planned—Hill Man Shot Self; Similar Instance Reported Today From Washington ——— By Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.

"What struck one chiefly during the campaign was the mixture of fear and confidence which Villa's name inspired in his followers. 'General Villa says he will shoot anybody who cuts the telegraph wires by shooting from the train,' called out an officer to soldiers on top of a troop train who were im proving their marksmanship by shoot ing at the insulators on telegraph poles. Instantly the careless firing ceased. Nobody doubted that Villa meant what he said. " 'Send this telegram at once,' said a newspaper correspondent to a mili tary operator in his field office under a tree near the railroad track. 'I can't, senor,' was the regretful response. 'General Villa has just notified us that no messages must go out until fur ther orders from him and he will shoot us if we send this one, even though it is approved by his private secretary,' to which there was obvi ously no answer. "To this camp returned the long line of wounded from the first day's light at Gomez Palacio. Previously the campaign had been a sort of holi day. But these pitiful evidences left no doubt that this was war. The wounded endured their sufferings with remarkable fortitude.
