The Harper's Weekly incident has
not seemed to affect Gov. Wilson's
candidacy TO any appreciable degree
thus far. The Incident has been
used by those already opposed to him
In an attempt to discredit him, but
with his friends it has not made any
difference, at least not to his discred-
it. 1t was a little thing to make
such a big fuss about, and it is gener-
ally conceded that it will have about
as much weight as did the digging up
of the letter which Mr.. Wilson wrote
some years ago, in which he said I'M
favorable t~hingsabout VIM. J. Bryan.
This letter was widely published in
the hope that it would spoil the ami
cable feeling between Wilson and
Bryan, but the affair acted in the OPP
posite way and served to show the
perfectly friendly relations existing
between these two men at the pre-
sent time. The enemies of Gov.
Wilson are energetic in their attempts
to defeat Wilson. but every attack on
him increases bis popularity and
serves to show the people how big a
man he is. Some of his opponents
have discovered that he is not a states
man. The word statesman has come
to mean politician to many men, and
perhaps Woodrow Wilson is not a
politician. but that Is all in his favor.
The country has had too much govern
ment by politicians, and too little
common sense has been used by the
administrations in power.-Alexan-
dria Journal.
