The Tale of Two Presidents.

The Hartford Courant suggests that IT
the democratic party really wants south
ern-born scholar for standard bearer IN
the next presidential campaign. and if Or.
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton Is unavatl-
able, DR.. Alderman of the University OF
Virginia possesses all the Qualihca tons
character, learning. wit, sense and eio-
quence."
But the Courant misses very strong
point in DR.. Wilson's favor which DIR. Al
German does not possess, and 1t counts IN
the suggestion by Col Harvey of Harper 8
Weekly of Dr. Wilson for the presidency.
The Princeton scholar Is not only of south
ern birth and education. but has had q
large experience in affairs In the east and
enjoys wide acquaintance there both
among professional and business men. This
should tell in political race. The candi
dates strength would be his "charact er,
learning, wit sense and eloquence," Plus
his residence in New Jersey, which used
to be democratic state, and his acquaint-
apce with eastern men of means and busi-
ness. which would make an appeal In his
behalf for the sinews of war all the more
ef1ective For even with a scholar Of IT.
reproachable life carrying the standard, IT
would yet be necessary to fight for him on
conventional lines and with conventional
means.
Dr. Alderman Is all that the Courant de-
soribes. but he has always lived in the
south native of North, Carolina, ne
went from there to New Orleans and after
distinguishing himself at Tulane University
was called to the Virginia post which he
now holds. He has never been Intimately

the state of his birth. and Louisiana, the
state of his adoption for awhile are all
safely democratic under any and all cir
cumstances, and his candidacy would add
nothing to his party's strength there. Any
democrat can carry those states
The democracy Is not at all likely to go
south for its candidate, or take a scholar
from any quarter. We shall see the party.
