WOODROW WILSON'S NOMINATION
 WOULD MEAN PARTY'S DEFEAT

From Thursdays Atlanta Constitution.
 Hon. James l.. Anderson, who has ac- quired unique prominence in Georgia as an accurate political prognostician, has prepared a striking statement bearing upon the political situation, in which he declares that the nomination of Woodrow Wilson would mean the inevitable defeat of the party in the national election.
 For three times MT. Anderson was the state manager of the Hoke Smith cam paign for governor, but in the recent elec- tion he supported Joseph M. Brown. His published communications in that contest will be recalled as among the most effec- tive contributions to the literature of the campaign.
 In communication prepared for the press of Georgia and published in the At lanta Georgian of yesterday, MT. Ander- son analyses the national situation as follows:

 A loyal democrat, holding the success of my great party far above the success of any individual, in view of this sell evident situation, believes that Governor Wilson is not the man to nominate for. President.
 It may be possible to nominate woodrow Wilson. It seems scarcely possible to elect him.

Wilson's term, he was absent from New Jersey about two months. Senator Ern- est R. Alderman, then president or the senate, has been sworn in five times as acting governor, on as many different ab- sences of Governor Wilson.
 Upon one occasion his salary as gov ernor was deducted because of his con- tinued absence in his own personal inter- est. As a consequence the state of New Jersey went republican in the next elec- ton following Governor Wilson's
 Tt is freely predicted that Governor Will son, If nominated, cannot possibly carry New Jersey because of these absences and the factions he has made.
 Cannot Carry New York
 It is absolutely certain that he cannot carry New York-and without this state lie cannot be elected.
 Governor Wilson will be fronted by lis republican enemies with the sharp con- trast to his own neglect of duty in the faithful and dligent devotion to duty of Champ Clark and Underwood and liar mon to the duties to which they were elected and for which they were paid.
 There are dozen other curious and complicated things which the governor of New Jersey would be asked to explain as democratic candidate.
 Now, there need be neither animosty nor prejudice in this discussion. It IS a matter of discretion and of common sense. It is question of winning or losing the election.
 The Situation in Nut Shell
 The democrats of this country have only to open their eyes, look the situation fair ly and squarey in the face, rise above smooth speeches and pleasant personal ities and new found advocates and ask them this single question:
 Is there any other man in all the list of democratic candidates who would have so many difficult questions to answer, so many unpleasant situations to explain, so many antagonisms to allay as Woodrow Wilson? Is there any other candidate who would so easily be forced by his enemies to assume the defensive?
 We do not want defensive year for progressive democracy.
 The party's watchword is progress.

THE WHE,s UPLIFTING

u The best thing that Agricultural
education is doing for the farm is not,
after all, to be seen in the increase
in the yield for the land. It is in
the lifting of of the farmer 3 wife from
the position Of drudge to her proper
sphere as the center of the social and
spiritual life of the farmstead and as
the connecting link between that life
and the life Of the community at large.
Labor-saving apparatus for kitchen
and larder; improved methods in field
and barn, which bring to the family q
better income; the growing recogni-
ton of her right to a larger share in
the spending Of that income; her more
frequent admission to the role, not
merely of companion, but of counselor
and business confdante Of her hus-
band; the touch of her refining hand
in the exterior as well as in the in.
terror arrangement and adornment OF
the home-an these things are oper'
ating powerfully, in connection with
other oft-enumerated agencies, in max
ing beautiful and attractive the hither'
to often barren and monotonous life
Of the farm. And beauty and attrac'
tivesness are, after all more efficient
lures toward country living than the
greater pecuniary gains which follow
Hthe new farming.'
That the betterments of which we
speak are yet largely Of the future;
that sordid ideas still control the treat
ment accorded the house-mother in
too many farm homes, is unfortunate
ly true. But slowly and surely a
change is being wrought. Every class
of girls and boys which goes out from
our Schools Of Agriculture is a band OF
social missionaries, working for he1
emancipation, and for the uplift which
must Inevitably follow.-C. R. Barns
Extension Division, MINI. Col. Of Agr
