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.

National Chairman Hopes New
Move Will Meet With Na
tion-wide Favor
New York. April 8. Charles D.
Utiles, chairman of the Republican
national committee, last night
public the proposed plan to decrease
the percentage of the Southern and
territorial representation in tho Re
publican national convention in 1916,
and thereafter, from approximately
35 per cent, of the total voting strength
to less than 16 per cent., as provided
in resolutions adopted by the commit
tee at its meeting last December.
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

15-YEAR-OLD BOY REAL HERO
His Cries to Fight Gave Rebels New
Courage to Continue Their
Assaults
By Associated Press
El Paso, Texas, April 6.—"Embroid
ering the salient facts of the success
ful Constitutionalist campaign against
Correon are a multitude of incidents
hardly less interesting," said Asso
ciated Press correspondents who ac
companied General Villa and who
reached here Monday night.
"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. In the little
improvised hospital near the railroad
station hospital train at Verjel were
probably seventy men lying on cots
and not a single groan came from one
of them.
Courage in Hospital
"Courage in the hospital was
matched by courago .in Held— by a
