Attractions Favor Wilson

New YORK, Dee. l5,--A staff CORES
posdent of the New York World, writ
ing from Chicago, says:
While the professional Democratic
bosses of Illinois gre wsrring for the
supremacy which carries with it the
control Of the machine, one man is de
signed under present conditions to bt
the beneficiary of their squapbles. This
is Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
Governor Of the state of New Jersey.
Governor Wilson appears to have &c
csmplisbed rather extraordinary
achievement in that he has. drawn to
hisAupport large number of the lead.
ers and followers Of all factions. He
| made no enemies; on the contrary, he
has friends in every part of the State
among the machine Democrats and the
independent Republicans. In the ru-
raj districts, where the spirit of "New
Nationalism" and latter-dsy progress
is rife, most OF the cid line followers of
Bryan, Cleveland and other leaders
who are not active factors in the pre-
sent situation are fiocking to his sup
Tort.
Roger Sullivan, the Murphy Of Chi :
cage, has kind word to speak for the
New Jersey Executive. William Jen-
hinge Bryan has already sounded the
praises Of Governor Wilson and set the
seal Of his Endorsement upon his can
didacy for President.
There is growing mpression among
the Democrats of all factions that
Governor Harmon will not figure in
the final contest, and it Will be "Wil-
son against the field" with the chances
favoring the New Jersey man. In
justification Of this theory, The profess
sional bosses have been pretty deeply
i'm pressed with the genuineness of the
popularity of Governor Wilson
throughout the State. 1t has been evil
denced in the colleges and other insti
tutions of instruction, among the bust
ness men of the large and small towns
ana in the clubs of Chicago.
Several straw votes taken in the
smaller towns have indicated to the
professionals the bona fide demand on

Democrats as well as Republicans in
Illinois base all their predictions and
suesses upon one contingency. This is
tne strong probability that Col. Roese-
welt viii relieve Senator La Toilette of

psychological moment. The Democra-
t1a vie y is ;hat the Colonel is secretly
doing everything in his power to pro-
m lte Tie "fr4sideatial preferences prI-
nary" IN order that his prrroaol popu-
larlly may be re-established.
Up 10 date the Democrats have not
paid a great deal OF attention to this
novel idea for determining the choiee
of the voters for the Pr -sidential can
didate They are now beginning to
turn to the discussion of it. They are
analyzing il from every angle. Few Of

The Federal Children's Bureau and Its

An act creating child welfare bureau
was recently placed on our national

earnestly and continuously advocated for
several years by progressive men and
women, and during its pendency in Con-
gress no reasonable argument was ever
advanced against it. Certain conserva.
tive statesmen were shocked that chill

they were silenced by the retort OF the

fact, pigs were being better treated by
the federal government than children
since the government has for years gath.
