Washington: Democratic friends OF
Woodrow Wilson say that he already
has made his plans to make good
I'm his administration. The president
elects friends have outlined these
plans and they can be given here with
the assurance that they are properly
reported as his friends make them
known. IN
Invitations to visit Trenton have
been given during the past two
months in proportion Of about three
Invitations to Democratic conserva-
tives to ten to the Democratic progress
sives. The progressive intimates OF
Mr.. Wilson seem to stand in congress
! In about the same party proportion as
that marked by the Invitations. The
advanced thinkers of the party OF Mr..
Wilson say. they know his heart and
his intentions and that 1T Will not be
long before the conservatives will
learn them, too3-rlt is reported In
Washington by, the progressive Demo-
Gratis that the president-elect intends
to make good in his administration att
er manner Of his own and one which
they say seems likely to bring re-,
suits
It ia rumored in Washington that
the conservative Democrats intend to
enter objections to some of the legis-
lation which Mr.. Wilson will propose
and which they call too radical to be
deserving of passage by congress It
can be seen from this that the inten-
ton OF the conservatives. in the SEN.
ate at any rate. Is to inject conserva-
tism into many of the next presidents,
progressive measures. The congress
sional history OF the past ten years.
progressive Democrats claim. has
shown that when solution OF con-
servatism Is injected into progressive
Legislation it saturates it and makes
1t too "logy" to be Of service.
& s5 Records to Confront Them.
Mr.. Wilson. the progressives Of his.
party say, knows all about possible at
tempts to weaken his recommended
measures Of progression. How Is he
going to keep the ultra conservatives
of his party from the effort to use
their hypodemic syringe? Well, it is
said he is going to pull their records
Of speech on them. and these records.
with names attached, will in an indi-
rect way be made public. The cam
spaign speech OF a man frequently Is
not in keeping with his subsequent
vote. Mr.. Wilson, when he finds that
this senator or that senator is OPP,
posed to this measure or that measure
as being 'redly radical" will say to
him 1T Ia a part of the platform OF
the party and on August 30 and so, in
a speech delivered at SO and so, you
upheld the wisdom of this proposed
legislation. Have you one thought for
August, 1912, and another thought for
April. 1872"
& There will be, good many, mem
bers of the next house of represent
tatives who were eletced solely be-
cause they promised to stand by,
Woodrow Wilson in his attempts to
carry out progressivism as he has
outlined it in speeches Of the last two
years. There are senators who Demo
Gratis say. would not take their seats
for the nrst time in the upper house
on March 4 II they had not proclaimed
the Wilson and the platform doctrines
as being sound to the core. There are
other senators, they add, who would
not start on a new lease OF senatorial
life on March 4 II they likewise had
not sworn fealty to the incoming ad..
ministration and to the pronounce
ments of the Baltimore platform.
Victor Murdock's Advice. II &
Victor Murdoch has told you CORE
tspondent that it will be the duty OF
every progressive Republican and Pro
gressive to stand by Woodrow Wilson
in every attempt which he shall make
to secure place on the books for ad-
vanced. legislation Mr.. Murdoch says
further that it would be bad tactics,
bad manners and bad morals for eth
'er Progressives. or progressives with
q hyphen, to do anything to block any
real forward ehdeavor Of the incom-
ing administration. /.
In previous dispatch 1t was said
that there would be five parties in
the next house of representatives
Democrats. Observation-Disclosures.
neutrality-suspicious., Progressives
and-victor Murdoch. The Kansas
representative has read this dispatch
and is In no wise angered because he
has been made to flock by himself.
1t ID apparent that Mr.. Murdoch
knows the temper OF most Of the Pro
gressiyes and Observation-Disclosures
who are to have seats In the next
house. Judging by what this man OF
a present party Of one says, there
seems to be no doubt that any defec-
ton Of Democrats on Wilson pro-
gressive roll-call in the house will be
Offset by the accretion of band OF
progressive members drawn in part
from the Republicans and In part
from Progressives who bear that
party's name.
In another dispatch 1t was SAID
that the fact that the progressive
Democrats in the next house will be
in suchEa large majority probably
would enable the incoming president
to get preponderating support from
his party in the house for almost any
legislation which he may care to offer.
Origin Of the Pearl.
For many centuries, even until COM
paratively recent times, it was the
