DISTRICT LIKELY TO PROFIT

To me. the most remarkable COM
mentary that could be made on the
lection OF Gov. Wilson as the next PresI-
dent of the United States is In connection
with the fact that the whole country
seems to be accepting the result with
equanimity. even pleasure said William
V. Cox, president of the Second National
Bank, today, when he was asked what
Kind of President he thought Gov. Will
son would make.
Ihere doesn't seem to be any great cry
or disaster going up said Mr.. Cox The
American people seem to be OF the serene
and calm belief that the world will re-
voive In the same old way, and SO it will,
prosperously for the United States, too.
AS to Gov. Wilson personally. there is
no man who could be any quicker to
meet any question that might come be-
fore him. and when it comes down to
questions of political economy as to what
the United States should or should not
do there is no one in this country more
richly endowed than Gov. Wilson to de-
eide or to lead.
Favorably Impressed.
I was convinced of this the first time
l ever heard him. which was when he
Sf'oh0 oCloIc us at the american BANK
ers' Association gathering at Denver two
years ago. He showed us then that he
had comprehensive idea OF what was
the matter with the country. and he
urged the bankers then to get together
and reach a conclusion as to what they
should do before they were forced To do
something. Which was good advice
Woodrow Wilson, / should say has All
the qualities for the making of a very
good President No one can dIssuade
MIN from what he believes to be right
He does not care about politics. which is
mighty good thing. l am sorry he said
what he did about serving only one term
put that will make him all the stronger
In his convictions, and set him we'll on
the road to success. where his feet have
already been planted"
Blair Shares Opinion.
Mr.. Cox's view that Gov Wilson Will
make good President is shared by
Woodbury. Blair, first vice president OF
the National Savings and Trust Company.
who said:
Mr. Wilson Is more of student than
man with actual business training, al
though he had some of the latter as ex.
ecutive of Princeton. AS to what kind of
business President he will make, why.
to be more of student than a business
man is the case with all great statesmen
such as Mr.. Wilson is I do not recall
any President of the United States who
had actual business training before he
went into Office, but Mr.. Wilson's asso-
c1ations and his aptitude at grasping a
situation. business as well as political. /
think, will enable him to act upon anv
business situation which presents itself
to him intellgently and without preju-
dice either in the interest of the producer
or the consumer.
ND
Htical economy in this and other coun-
tries. That is very important point
thlnk he Will make very good Presi-
dent"
Opinion of M. I. Weller.
M. l. Weller. president of the East
Washington Savings Bank. had some
thing to say about the probability thar
Gov. Wilson's election will mean much
for the benefit of Washington as a city.
Il am perhaps prejudiced, because
am democrat" Mr. Weller said. but
1 really do think that Gov Wilson will
make the best President the United
states has had for fifty years I think
so Tor the reason that he seems TO have
the good will of members of all three
or the large parties. as well as those
or the smaller parties. and this has been
very clearly brought out in the two days
since the election.
Furthermore, / am convinced that
Gov. Wilson got the conservative repub-
ncan vote as well as the democratic vote
and some of the progressive vote in both
parties. The situation in the stock mar
kets shows that Gov. Wilson has the
friendly attitude of the United States
and other countries, and | think an
analysis of the vote will show as soon as
1t Is made that he did get the eonserva-
tive republican VOTE or a great part OF
it,
With these conditions. with the people
behlnd MIN to such great extent, and
with big business behind him. as il
seems to be already. how can he help
but make great President?
