One-Term Plank In Baltimore Plat

a staff correspondent sends the Chi
story from the national capital:
Washington, D. c., Aug. 31.-Presi-
dent Wilson will be a candidate for
second presidential term.
Definite information that Mr.. Will
son has expressed himself as believing
it the duty of a chief executive to sub
NIT his administration to the people
of the country, so that they may ex-
press their approval or disapproval of
it, came to the Tribune correspondent
today from an authoritative source.
1t was before Mrs Wilson's death
that the president expressed himself to
a friend upon the subject of second
presidential term. Since that time per-
sons in touch with the administration
have entertained the opinion that he
might be so disheartened by the death
of Mrs. Wilson and by the drain upon
his strength made by the ever increas-
ing round of official duties that he
might prefer quieter scenes and less
present term.
Will Live UP to Duty.
Those who are familiar with the
presidents character, however, do not
believe, in the light of his expressed
views with regard to a second term.
conceives to be his duty in the mat
ter
Political leaders both within and
with 1t the democratic party, believe
that if Mr. Wilson is a candidate for
the democratic nomination he will not
be seriously opposed. From an author
itative source it has been learned that
not long ago Secretary of State Bryan
expressed the view that If the Wilson
administration was success Mr.. VIII
son could have the democratic nomin-
alton for the asking, and that II the
administration did not measure up
to the public expectation the nomina-
ton would not be worth having.
Hasn't Consulted Bryan.
From the source where the informa-
ton with respect to the presidents at
titude toward the second term prin-
ciple was obtained there came the
statement that the president and Sec
retarv of State Bryan have no agree
ment of any sort on the subject OF
Mr. Wilson's future ambitions.
At the time that Mr.. Bryan accepted
the first portfolio OF MI Wilson's cab
met report was circulated that the
two men had interchanged views upon
tie subject OF a second term, and that
an understanding existed that Mr.. vii
son would not be a candidate in the
way of Mr.. Bryan in the next national
contest. This report has been recur

One Term Plank Dropped?

Bryan never has discussed the singl,

Plank variousiy Construed.
This plank has been variously con-
strued. In some quarters it is regard.
ed as committing the candidate of the
convention which framed the platform
only to an effort to secure an amend
ment to the constitution making the
president ineligible for a second term.
On the other hand, Secretary of State
Bryan at various times has been cred
tied with placing the opposite construc-
ton upon the commitment. 1t has
been stated that Mr.. Bryan, who head
ed the platform committee of the Bal
timore convention, wrote this single
term plank with the express idea OF
preventing the candidate of that con-
vention from standing in the way OF
the commoner's own presidential ambi-
lions four years thereafter.

Saturn and Mars rule kindly in the

reading of astrology, but the late
afternoon and evening are exceed

adverse, while the Sun and Uranus
are also inimical.
Business affairs are also subject TO
a fairly. good guidance in the morn

fit. There is a prophecy that an
American financier will acquire tame

cation. There Is said to be gain In
southern countries.
Provision dealers are subject 70
beneffc influences today. They should
profit largely through unexpected
channels. There is an extraordinarily
promising sign for domestic mar
kets.
Judges, senator's, diplomats and all
counselors are believed to be aided
by the stars in this configuration.
Today's decisions should be wise, the
seers declare, but they predict
new trouble for the President through
one of his representatives In a dis
tant land.
This is the most unlucky rule Tor
all who seek favor after sundown.
Political speakers are under an UNI
favorable sway of the stars and all
who run for office are warned to
guard against eleventh hour tactics
on the part of opponents.
