WASHINGTON, G., arch 2S.-Although
there has been no formal organization
of a Woodrow Wilson club in Washing
ton, the interest which is being mani
tested in Wilkes county in the candidacy
of the New Jersey man grows daily and
there are more than 100 persons in
Washington alone who have voluntarily
asked that their names be included in a
Woodrow Wilson club" as soon as an
organization is effected.
In addition to those who have already
enlisted under the Wilson banner there
have been applications by half dozen
prominent planters and business men in
the rural districts to be furnished with
list for the enrolment of additional
names.
They say that the sons of the soil who
do not pay any heed to political expe-
diences but measure men upon the sole
standards of merit and qualifications,
are the ones who are most eager to put
the stamp of their approval on Wilson
rather than any other Democrat who has
yet been put forward as a possible pres
idential candidate.

ington. They form representative body
