BOOMING WILSON
Western Trip Strengthened
Him For Presidency.
POLITICIANS EAGER FOR FACTS
Friends Of Governor Declare Tour
Has Gone Long Way to Clinch
His Nomination by Demo-
Gratis in 1912.

Washington, May 20. - Governor
Woodrow Wilson's friends in this city
are more than pleased with his trip
through the west and declare his boom
Tor the presidency has gained sub
stantial strength.
They declare that this trip has gone
a long way to clinch the nomination
OF Mr. Wilson by the Democrats in
1912.
Governor Wilson has undoubtedly
been talking to big audiences in the
west. and he has been received with
many marks OF favor, according to all
the reports. And it may be added
that some of the Democratic politi
clans in Washington have been at a
good deal Of pains to ascertain the
facts.
The reasons for this are sufficiently
obvious. Those who want Wilson nom
mated are eager to find out how his
boom is being received, and those who
want Harmon or Clark are for oppo
oAAN AtaoOno HAANt 90 Na6NAs
The advices that have come to the
Wilson camp in Washington are that
the governor while in the west has
succeeded in getting the ear Of both
the progressive Democrats and the
conservative Democrats. He has been
given due recognition by various civic
bodies.
In his speeches he has not trimmed,
so his admirers say, and has not talk
ed one doctrine strong in one quarter
and put the soft pedal ON it in an
other quarter.
Lambasted big Business.
They cite the fact that in a speech
at a banquet in San Francisco Wilson
lambasted some of the practices of
big business so hard that one OF the
bankers Of the city arose in his place
and said:
Il am not guilty of any of these
things that DR.. Wilson is pointing
out"
However, the question of whether
Wilson was received with exuberante
or not is not of as much practical i'm.
pOrtance as the question whether he is
going to get delegates as the result
OF his swing around the circle.
If the statements of the friends OF
Wilson are correct, he is going to
capture a large bunch of delegates
from the Pacific coast and the far
northwest.
Word has come from California
Democrats. from men whose promises
are Of weight and value, that he can
have the delegation from that state.
Oregon is said to be for Wilson with.
out question and also Washington
Whether Idaho will be is not so Ger.
tain, but the Wilson men think the
same influences that have stirred
Democratic opinion along the Pacific
coast to be for DIR. Wilson win swav
Idaho.
In the south there Is no question
that Wilson has lately been gaining.

this important litigation, which involves

the railroad is that its charter exempts

that of the State is that the road for

the last Legislature an amendment to
its charter which permitted it to change
TO some extent the location of its right
