CAN WILSON KEEP
THE DOORS OPEN?

Washington D. c., Jan. 2S.-An-
nouncement Of governor Wilson that
he will keep the doors of his office
open when he becomes president, has
caused much discussion here. Every
body is wondering how he is going to
do it
Many believe that when the new
president once gets established and has
experienced the job of encOuutering the
one thousand and one folks who throng
the white house daily to importune
the chief executive, he will change MS
not II viii be new deal for Washing
ton. And as for Mr.. Wilson, he will
have to be made Of cast iron to stand
the ordeal
Always at the outset of any admin
istration there is an almost endless
procession of callers at the white
house. Cabinet members may drop in,
senators and congressman move into
the executive offices in a ceaseless
current, often bringing their friends.
It is the members of house and senate
who cause most trouble and take most
time. They clamor for patronage and
if a president will listen the average
nnahber Of congress will take whole
postOffice case or setting forth the
virtues of an applicant for a marshall
ship.
Besides the congressional and off
cial callers, there is an army Of hand
shakers modified about the white
house gates Now and then a crank
strolIs in with some special grievance
he wants attended to.
It may be governor Wilson can man
age to keep open house for all these
people, but if he does It Will be an
achievement.
