Scores Of Visitors, Magazines and

Contempt For That Sort of Advice.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.
Washington, Feb. .-[Special.1 -
Being a kindly disposed individual.
President Taft does not hesitate to
hand out all kinds of advice to his sue
cessor. Governor Wilson has been
overburdened with advice of person
al kind, intimate suggestions by those
who have called to see him; he has
been told through the magazines and
newspapers how to run his admins
tration, and President Taft has told
him in numerous speeches just what
he ought to do about the Philippines
and several other matters of national
importance.
Everybody seems to go along on the
idea that Governor Wilson Is fedg-
ling, man who. knows nothing about
the big public questions that will come
before him in his new position. That
same idea prevailed when Roosevelt

dency. 81 have received tons and tons

Fear of Conservatives.
One reason why many Of the con-
sentative senators do not want Bryan
in the cabinet is because they fear that
his knowledge of men throughout the
country, his personal acquaintance
with Democrats In every state. county
and township, will be the guide to
President Wilson in naming the fed
eral appointees under the new admin
istration.
In that event they would of course
be Bryan men. And most of such Bry
an men would be antagonistic to the
old machines and conservatives who
have been opposed to Bryan since he
came SO prominently before the coun
try. At the same time they have ac-
cepted it as foregone conclusion that
Bryan will be secretary Of state.

the minority leader, jim Mann. As |
the house now stands Fitzgerald and
Underwood are the only men who car |
cope with Mann.
They are absent much of the tim |

of which they are chairmen. AS a
consequence Mann has things pretty |
much his own way. from a par.ia
mentary point of view. Only a few
members pretend to have accurate
knowledge of the rules of the house |
and it does not take long to tie q par

Take It Personally.
