PEN PICTURE OF WILSON

According to a writer in the New

ception regarding the personality OF
President Wilson. Ia presenting a
pen picture of the new national exc.
cutive the writer says be is a pleasant
companion, a good listener and a
citizen OF exemplary habits.

son to one of his travelling compan-
ions during the campaign, 'to realize
that there are a lot of people who think
that merely because I've been q COL

Those who come / know him dur.
Ing the next four years will realize
how lite any such description applies

constant associates since be was nomi-
mated at Baltimore have found him a

d~lsagreeable experience has been in
meeting persons who ask if Mr.. Will.
son is a regular human being. One
OF the reasons why the personality of
the new president is so little known is
tina he Is not inclined to display and
when he does something spectacular
the chances are ten to one he dOsen't
know it until he reads the
the next day.
His love OF plain fun and good
stories is in itself a refutation of
the idea that he is a reserved austere
