WILSON TO BREAK CUSTOM.
Proposal to Visit Capitol Daily Creates
Wild Comment.

Washington, Feb. 27-Liveiy discus
sion was preeipitated in congressional
circles today byta published statement
credited to President Wilson that he
intends to spend part OF each working
DAY In the presidents room In the cap
itol to keep in closer touch with legis-
lative offices. Such action or the part
of the president would overturn a
precedent which has restricted the
presidents visit 10 the caritol to the
last hours of Il session of congress.
/, Democratic leaders today discussed
the reported plan of Mr.. Wilson with
reluctance tho many seemed to favor
It.
IF President Wilson wishes to come
10 the capitol and advise with con
gress he VIII he welcome said Sen =
ator O'Gorman.
The closer the president and con :
lie business the better it will be. said
Senator Pomerene. Of Ohio. His eN
preston was concurred in by Senator
johnson. Of Maine.
The chief reason for the long estab
iished precedent keeping the president
i'm the White House. IL mile away from
the uDltCl, Is Saiu To bt a StIltii'R'H' III
the house and senate toward what has
been Interpreted as presidential en-
crouchnlent upon the, freedom of action
Of congress
Some democratic leaders of the sen
ate said TO-DAY that they believed Mr..
Wilson would find 1t impossible to
leave his executive duties and visit the
capitol from day to day and that ne
would not find it so easy to confer. over
the progress OF legisla ton at the capi-
tol as at the White House. Some ex-
nres-eT tho oninion that such visits OF
a president might not be received with
favor If he came to take hand in
shaping legislation.
"Much will depend upon what he
comes for. said Senator Tillman. IF
he comes to advise with us We shall be
glad to have him: II he comes to die
tate. to us, as don't believe he would.
we would not want him here. When
he has an opportunity to study condi-
tions at a closer range think he will
change his mind about coming"
Senators Fletcher. democrat. and
Burton republican, spoke approvingly
OF the plan.
eve shall be ,glad to have him: it

entrust that power to weak or evil

that the citizens Of this country will

The latter says that such concentra-
