Sun is clamoring for a national
presidential election just now. He
is in Pekin, and he and President
Yuan Shi Kai meet almost every
day. They are polite when they
meet, but that's about all.
Sun says that Yuan is a hope
less reactionary. Yuan says Sun
is demagogue, a neurotic and
socialist.
Sun is sure that he can beat
Yuan at the polls. Yuan has a
bunch that Sun might, and there
fore, he is absolutely refusing to
call an election.
The situation is some strained.
Yuan has an uncanny habit of
cutting off the heads of political
enemies after he's through calling
them demagogues, and the "dare
