Undoubtedly the Choice of Very
Large Majority of Demo-
Gratis for Presidency.
ONLY ONE DANGER APPARENT
If the Nomination Were Left to Vote
Of the People He Would Be Ger.
tain to Win, Says York
Gazette.
York (Pa.) Gazette.

Governor Wilson is undoubtedly the
choice OF a very large majority Of
Democrats for the presidency. He
also has, and Will have, the support
of many Republicans who realize that
he is the strongest man and the most
dependable man either OF the great
parties could nominate for this post
tion. If the whole matter could be
referred directly to the people at this
time there is little doubt that he
would carry three-fourths Of the states
and secure a large majority Of the
popular vote.
But under our system, It Is neces-
sary that his name. together with the
names OF several other aspirants
must go before the Democratic ma.
tiOnal convention, and 1t depends up
on the delegates to that convention
whether or not the people who so
largely desire Wilson for president
will have the opportunity TO vote for
him. Therein lies the only danger to
his candidacy. 1t is possible by means
OF manipulating the delegates from
the several states to defeat the will OF
the people I'm this respect Such
misfortune is hardly probable, yet be-
cause Il Is possible it Is necessary that
every means be employed to insure
against probability.
While the people can not vote dl.
rect for Wilson until the fall election,
they can before that vote for dele
potoe upoD NUhpu, thav NAV dapapb
confidently to carry out their wishes.
If the warning OF possible danger to
the candidate OF their choice Is heed
ed In time that danger can be avoid
ed and If they thoroughly recognize
the fact that danger to this candidacy
also means danger to their own in
tercsts, then they will be very likely
TO take the measures their good judg-
ment suggests TO eliminate any pos
sibility of this DANGER
The bitterness of the efforts to dis
credit Wilson so long in advance OF
the convention ought to be sufficient
warning. The concentration Of all the
interests opposition to the Wilson
candidacy proves how greatly he is
feared by the interests That ought
to be enough to indicate what action
should be taken by those who are
bearing the heavy burdens imposed
by these interests. 1t ought to elimi-
nate any possible danger OF delegates
who can by guile or other means be
manipulated so as to defeat Wilson
in the convention.

CONSIDERING
THE ASYLUM
IMPROVEMENTS

Preparatory to making an estimate
of the appropriation to be asked for
from the legislature for the asylum
members Of the state board visited
the institution yesterday, and with Dr.
Steiner, carefully went over the sit
uation.
Under plan adopted by the board
1t will ask all superintendent to make
estimates Of their appropriations and
then, when submitted, will consider
them, and, If deemed necessary, cut
them down. The members will, in the
next few months make like visits to
other institutions.
The main object of the visit yester-
day was to determine just what the
asylum would need in the way of i'm
provements. The hoard members, af-
ter the visit, declared that they had
looked into all the demands, but that
they were not in a position to say yet
as to what would be asked for
