The circumstances attending his
failure to obtain reelection are in
teresting 1t will be recalled that the
period during which Mr.. Lodge served
was the time when Grover Cleveland
was president. In 1883 Mr. Cleveland
was defeated in the campaign for
second term. Mr.. Lodge was an
earnest opponent of Mr.. Cleveland
and of the Democratic program, while
a great many of the Harvard crowd"
so called, mostly Republican, to whom
Mr.. Lodge was we'll known, heartily
supported Cleveland. When Mr..
Lodge came up for reelection in 1890,
as a bit of political revenge he was
defeated.
Mr.. Lodge felt his defeat keenly. 1t
was not justified by his record and
was due entirely to the raneor of poll
tics. Never since that time until this
year. although often urged by friends,
has Mr.. Lodge permitted his name to
be voted for as overseer Now it is
on the ballot and according to we'll
digested gossip he is sure of nomi-

preliminary Australian ballot 10
candidates, of whom five are elected at

Since the recent trying campaign for
re- election as senator, d reaction in
Mr.. Lodges favor has set in and
there is every indication that he will

VISION OF A SCHOLAR.
Woodrow Wilson Stepping Out of a
Shadow Into Politics.

AS the activities of Woodrow Wilson
widen and his utterances become more
embracive, his remarkable facility of
expression. his aptness of illustration
and his clearness of thought become
the more evident, and the public has
increased cause for graduation that
this man stepped out of the shadow of
the academic close into the intricate
life of politics.
Gov. Wilston has touched no sub
iect that he has not illuminted. He
has his own way of saying things. and
| it is such clear way that the mean
ing cannot be misunderstood. He does
not equivocate. perhaps because his
views are decided and there is no need
for equivocation, just as he finds no
heart for compromise on important
issues. No better statement of the
great issues involved in American
politics of the day has been made than
that pronounced by Gov. Wilson in
Norfolk before the Pewter Platter
club.
Congratulating the country that at
last it has moved away from the chaos
of undigested opinion that disturbed
business through uncertainty, and that
we have at last reached the point
where we have a complete vision of
what our problems are, and of the
| policies that must solve them, Wood
row Wilson stated the whole case in
one of his clear epigrams: I'VE are
cutting away anomalies, not institu-
lions. Therein. too, we think, he
showed by intimation the very great
difference between the Republican in=
surgents and the Democracy. In
surgents of the La Toilette type seem
to be entirely unable to differentiate
between the disease and the cause of
the disease, and are inclined to use
the surgeons knife where only a Sc
we're purge is needed. They are at
outs with the spirit of our Institutions
whereas Woodrow Wilson and men OF
| his type are actively progressive
chiefly because they do understand
the spirit of our institutions. and in
their great love for and appreciation
of them realize that the anomalies
not the institutions themselves. are to
be cut away. That is why the safety
OF the country and the continuance oil
the country's prosperity would be per
fectly assured in Woodrow Wilson's
hands. but not in La Follettes OF
Cummins
Gov. Wilson has cleared many of the
political problems of the day already
AS he touches others he will clear
them. He sees what the real difficult
ties are, and refuses to permit their
obscuration by incidentals. AS Presi-
dent Alderman of the university OF
Virginia said: I'VE of Virginia coule
bear with fortitude Gov. Wilson's as
sumption of even larger honors and
responsibilities" So too. could the

pie of the Characterization News
