Der.
This is the Administrators first
month, but while Congress adjourned
for the past three weeks the Presi-
dent has been devoting his time in
conferences with the able nembe
of his cabinet, and has summoned
to the White House in conference, the
Democratic leader of the House Os-
car w. Underwood, who with the ad-
ministra ton leader Of the Democrat
ic majority of the Senate, Senator
/ James A O'Gorman Of New York and
the Senators from the different sec
lions of the United States, where the

tariff measure which will be taken
up by the reassembling Of Congress

cation Honorable Jefferson M. Levy.
is strongly supporting Mr.. Underwood
and the administration forces,
President Wilson is regarding the
tariff question as the all important
issue before the country at the pres
ent time, and he has told the mem
bers of Congress that the pledges of
the party platform in Baltimore must
be carried out, that the people may
have the relief they have long
waited for, and now expect the Dem
ocratie Congress to make good their
pledges Senator OFGorman, who was
one of the drafters with the Honor
able Secretary OF State, William Jen-
nings Bryan, Is a real leader in the
Senate. He brought to the Senate
dignity of bearing and a state house
of experiences which, with his well
trained judicial mind, together with
calm deliberate, executive ability, soon
won for the Senator the popular will
of the members Of this great legtSla-
tive body. Senator OAGornan was the
foremost justice OF the Supreme Court
of New York, and he brought to the
Senate, legal experiences which are
now being used in the preparation of
measures before the Senate, in a very
effective way. The Senator maintains
a large executive force, of which Mr..
Oliver is his Executive Secretary. The
New Jersey Senators, MARITIME and
Hughes are strong administration sup
porters.
The first month of President Will
sons administration, Just ended, has
won popular favor from one end of
the country to the other, and Europe
too has endorsed and expressed great
pleasure in his conserva tisTn, marvel
Gus tact, and strong executive rulings.
The Presidents policy of construction
and progress, in all that Is for the
peoples interest, and at the same time
Safeguard honest business, but call
ing a halt on illegal shutting out OF
competition, is going to be the one
thing of the Presidents efforts to
produce a reasonable tariff bill which
will prove a relief to the people of
the entire country, and lower the cost
of living.
President Wilson is a Christian fam
lily man, with the highest conception
of right and duty, of fearless d1spo-
sition to carry out of what he believes
to be just and proper, but at all times
he thinks of the struggling people,
who have patiently awaited the re-
lief he is bending every effort now to
bring about, in the revision of the
tariff, which will establish him as the
peoples Moses of deliverance," and
lead them out of the bondage Of
high tariff and trusts, and into 1.-The
promised land" of better times, and to
the point of lowering the high cost OF
living President Wilson wants to
have all men enjoy an equal chance of
winning success, in all branches of
trade and tariff Even now the peo-
pie are beginning TO catch a glimpse
of the shooting rays of the bursting
forth of the glorious sJ1n-rising and
the real Wilson Progress and prosper
ling democracy, because the President
is putting it's principles in a better
light than ever before in the history
of the party by any administration. He
is setting aside all precedents and oc-
cUpying the White House in true JEFF
fersonian simplicity, eschewing all
fuss and feathers The President
feels that he is representing all the
people, and is not trying to cater to
the usual customs of frivoHt1es for the

Last week Mrs. Wilson was return
ing to washington from New York
and the President went to Union Sta
ton here to meet her as any loving
husband would naturally do. Wash
ington, however, had to take notice of
this departure as it is a custom that
the President of the United States
never goes to meet anyone.
The President has given the news
paper men 1.-The right hand of fellow
Ship and he has done away with all
the strictness of the executive Office, |
through the cooperation Of his able |
executive assistant, the Honorable |
Joseph P Tunulty, former New Jer-
sey assenb1yman, and one of the fore |
most Jersey city attorneys. Accred- |
tied newspaper men can now see Mr..
TumuIfty, without the fornahty of
waiting when they have newspaper
business to transact at the White |
House The President has set aside |
Tuesday afternoons at oclocks ana
Thursday afternoons at the same hour |
each week to meet all the represent
tatives of the press in washington, to
have a heart to heart talk with them
and tell them what the government IS |
trying to bring about The Pres1-
dent claims that it is not necessary
for him to put on frock tailed coats,
in the midst of his business hours to
meet guests, and therefore he receives
all in regular morning attire, unless
special occasion requires it.
In Jeffersonian spirit the President
requested that the theatres do not dis
play American flags on box which |
he and his family occupy, nor to have
the orchestra, play the Star Spangled |
