 Election

Former Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, now chief at- torney for the Interstate Com merce Commission, predicts the reflection of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency of the United States and the coming of an area of prosperity that the count ry has not known for a general ion.
 Mir. Folk was in Little Rock Friday attending hearing of a railroad rate case in which the h. terstate Commerce Commission is one,of the defendants. He was guest Friday at nooL of the Little Rock Chamber of Com merce at the monthly luncheon and wassmet by numerous ac- quaintances and friends made during the time he was chief ex- ecutive of Missouri.
 Woodrow Wilson is going 70 be re-nominated without opposit- ion and reelected president of the United States" commented the Missourian when seen by a reporter.
 Asked what he based his con- clusions on, and if on the watch ful waiting" policy of the admin istration, he said that there was indication of a belief in President Wilson throug hout the country that could best be taken as an indication.
 And this country is on the be- ginning of a prosperity such as 1t has not known in a generation, he resumed. Tt is going to be a prosperitysof individuals and not of the few like it was during the Republican administration. Everyone is going to feel 1t.
