WILSON BUSINESS MAN

Governor Woodrow Wilson may
be a pedaRoRue. He may he a
theoretical politician. hut he is
showing himself to be something
more.
He is showing himself 10 be a
business man and a good one at
that. He has inaugurated a new
method Of campaigning. He has
organized his forces much after
the style the organizers of a bank
elect officer and a beard of
directors. He has named the
executive chairman and the
secretary Of finances. The chair
man has his assistant. The vice
chairman will control in one
section the chairman in New
York. but all questions upon which
there is not an unanimous opinion
will be voted upon by the board
of directors.
While holding no Office, other
than that of candidate, Woodrow
Wilson will supervise ever ything
that is done. In other words, he
will manage his own campaign,
assisted by the members of his
directorate and the officers of his
committee.
A mar may be a pedagOgue and
a theOrist and a successful business
man. too. Sometimes the fact
that he is all three is of great
assistance to himself and to the
people among whom he labors.
AS governor Of New Jersey he
has made a record for the admir-
able business administration over
which he has presided. He is a
practical man. He has had busi-
ness relations in the past. He has
them at present. There is little
about business that he does not
understand and the important
feature Of the democratic camp
align is that he does not depend
more upon others than he de end
upon himself. He is a fitting man
tn he the standard bearer of the
party.
There is no living mar or
woman who can whisper a word to
impeach the character of the man
Those who know him best have the
%sincerest respect for him. They
have no cause for not doing so.
If the administration, after he
is elected. is conducted with the
same systematic as his
campaign the people of the United
States will find ample cause for
congratulation.
1t has been said Of W0odrow
Wilson that once in the presi-
Dental chair William j. Bryan will
occupy the same position in
Washington that Mark Hanna did
when William Mckinley was
president.
Mckinley was 8 good man., but
a weak man, and easily influenced.
II is different with Woodrow
Wilson He, also is a good man
but he is not a weak man. and he
is not easily influenced.
IL elected, IL NAV well be b~eliev.
cd that he will he president in all
that the word implies.
He is beginning his campaign
in the business like way that
creates immediate confidence and
portends his election In November.

HUGHES WILL NOT RUN
Unless President Taft Should Himself
Urge Him

Washington, April 21.-The most
interesting political talk here tonight
hinges around a report that Associate
Justice Hughes of the Supreme court
of the United States, formerly COVER
nor of New York, has caused Presi-
dent Taft to be assured that under
no circumstances will he accept the
Republican presidential nomination.
This intimation Is said to have been
extended by the Justice even to the
almost inconceivable case OF the con-
vention nominating him at Chicago,
and then adjourning before his atti-
tude is made plain. Even then, ac-
cording to his reported message to
the president, he will not modify his
position, unless the president himself
urges him to accept the party lead.
ership.
Today's report fits in well with
what was known before of Justice
Hughes attitude on the subject,
though it gains particular interest
from the recent talk that has been
heard of a third candidate to har.
monte the differences caused by the
furious campaign of Col. Roosevelt
against the president. Over a year
ago many of the Republican party
leaders began casting about for a
compromise candidate, and Mr.. Hugh
es was then picked as the only avail
able man. But the justice steadily
refused to lend his name to the move
ment, and it was gradually discourag
ed.
The movement has been silently
revived lately, however, and since
the Illinois and Pennsylvania primar
les has been discussed more thar
ever 1t is believed that the Roose
welt faction would support the for
mer governor Of New York with bet
ter grace than it would the president
while even the La Toilette factor
might be persuaded to line up solid

of their vessels and that no supposed
gain in expedition or saving Of time
on the voyage is to be purchased at
the risk of accident. The company
desires to maintain for its vessels a
reputation for safety and only looks
for such speed on the various voy-
ages as is consistent with safe and
prudent navigation.
Commanders are reminded that the
steamers are, to great extent unin-
sured and that their own livelihood,
as well as the company's success, de-
ponds upon immunity from accident;
no precaution which insures safe nav
igation is to be considered excessive

newspapers. / am prepared to ans
wer any question that may be asked

any other responsible person. shall
therefore make no further statement
of this kind, except to explain the
messages that / sent from the Car
pathia. These messages have been
completely misunderstood. An infer
ence has been drawn from them that
was anxious to avoid the Senate
committees inquiry which it was in
tended to hold in New York. AS a
matter OF fact when dispatching these
messages ] had not the slightest idea
that any inquiry was contemplated
and | had no information regarding
1t until the arrival OF the Carpathia
at the Cunard dock in New York on
Thursday night when / was informed
by Senators Smith and Newlands of
the appointment Of the special com
mittee to hold the inquiry. The
only purpose ] had in sending these
messages was to express my desire to
have the crew returned to their
homes in England for their own ben
eft at the earliest possible moment,
and / also was naturally anxious to
return to my family, but left the
matter of my return entirely to our
representatives in New York.
Il deeply regret that | am COMPEL
ed to make any personal statement
when my whole thought is on the hor.
ror of the disaster. In building the
Titanic 1t was the hope of my assoc
lates and myself that we had built
a vessel which could not be destroy
ed by the perils of the sea or the dan
gers OF navigation. The event has
proved the futility Of that hope. The
present legal requirements have prov.
ed inadequate They must be chang.
ed, but whether they are changed for
not, this awful experience has taught
the steamship owners of the world
that too much reliance has been plac-
ed on water-tight compartments and
on wireless telegraphy. and that they
must equip every vessel with life
boats and RATS sufficient to provide
for every soul on board and sufficient
men TO handle them"

PERIL IN TOO MANY BOATS
North German Lloyd Official Thinks
They MIGHT Hamper Life Saving

Berlin, April 21.-An official repre-
sentative Of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, in reply TO a
query regarding increased lifesaving
facilities, said today;
I'VE are thoroughly investigating
the question, and would recommend
that an International commission
should investigate and discuss whet-
her improvements on the present far
reaching measures are practlcabole
and desirable. In 80 important and
difficult matter we cannot rashly
promise TO undertake measures which
may prove practically impossible.
IF the decks are too crowded with
boats II might greatly hamper the
lifesavlng work in all cases where
immediate action was necessary. The
public need not be alarmed about IN,
life-saving equipment on our steam
ers."

Washington. April 21.-Cardlnal
Gibbons in the course of sermon
at ST. Stephens church here today re-
ferred to the Titanic disaster in part
as follows:
The remote cause OF this unspeak-
able disaster Is the excessive pursuit
OF luxury. Valuable space was sacri-
feed in order that men and women
might not lose for day the pleasures
and comforts that even on land are
attainable by the few. A remarkable
high speed was kept up amid grave
perils for the purpose of gain, and
for the same reason many hundreds
of precious lives were consigned to
an untimely grave. Man liveth not
by bread alone, and the American
people ought to take earnestly to
heart this grave warning and abate in
no small measure the undue passion
for material welfare and mere earth.

ROOSEVELT MEN SURE
Claim Taft Supporters are Rushing
for the Band Wagon


New York, April 22.-An air OF ju-
bilation was manifest at the head
quarters OF the New York City Roose-
welt committee yesterday upon the
results of the primaries Saturday In
West Virginia and the victories won
Friday in Oregon and Nebraska. II
was stated that the recent Roosevelt
landslides had given the Roosevelt
supporters a sufficient number OF
National committeeman from various
states to insure a fair hearing before
the committee on credentials at the
Chicago convention in the matter Of
contested delegates. Efforts will be
made to obtain control of the COM
mittee.
In the last few days a number of
Roosevelt leaders have visited the 10.
cal headquarters to confer upon the
situation in various states. These
conferences have been marked with
secrecy. and the names Of some OF
the visitors have not been made pub
lie. II was suggested yesterday how
ever, that they included many re
cruits to the Progressive ranks. A
great number of Republican leaders
II was alleged, have seen great
light and have become convinced that
President Taft cannot be renomina
ted, and that II he gets the nomina
ton he cannot be elected.
