Is Wilson Inevitable?

New York Globe.
That the attitude of Wall street
toward Woodrow Wilson has been
most helpful to the Wilson candi-
dacy has long been apparent. Gov
ernor Wilson is an eastern man Of
southern birth. On both OF these
accounts prejudices existed against
him in parts Of the country whose
delegates are important. These pre-
judices now seem practically dead.
He has become a national rather
than a fayorite son candidate-has
support in all sections Of the country
The practical question now pc
tinent Is whether or not the Wall
street attitude has made the nomi-
nation OF Governor Wilson inevitable
The democratic politicians who have
returned 10 their homes from Wash
ington are asking II. It is perhaps
too early for so sweeping an AMIR
native to be given. But this much
can be said with entire safety
that one or two more Wall street
attacks OF the character thus far
made will make the Wilson nomi-
nation almost a certainty.
No statement has yet been made
of the reason why Governor Wilson
has become obnoxious and has been
nut on the must be destroyed" list

ed that he was a man OF intelligence
