II seems to b coocsdsd that the
members Of the congressional com
mittee will succeed in inducing the
adoption Of liberal platforms In most
Of the districts Of the country. There
are some districts. however. which
will witness contests for the once OF
representative In congress that Will
be conducted by the Republican candi.
dates on lines exactly parallel to those
ON which such contests were conduct
ed ton years ago.
It matters little what the claims are
at the present moment. for It 10 long
time until November. but one thing u
virtually certain. the three parties are
going into the congressional cam
paigns as early a. possible. are going
to do . lot of hard campaigning and
use every effort possible, the Demo-
Gratis to maintain their majority in
congress or add to its strength. and
the other two parties to upset the cal
culations Of both the enemies"
A. Wilson Sees HImssk.
President Wilson's intimate por-
trayal Of himself ~ . man and ~ q
president. drawn for the benefit Of the
members Of the National Press club
recently, has set men, particularly
newspaper men In Washington, tc
thinking. It must be confessed at
the outset that most Of the Wash
ington correspondents have looked
upon Mr.. Wilson as man Of cold de.
meanor and temperament. In his per-
sonal sketch of himself the president
tore of the mask and showed himself
a. he thinks he really 10, certainly as
he would like to be. and he disabused
the minds Of good many persons of
formerly conceived opinions.
The president said in his speech to
the members of the Press club that
he never had read an article about
self. and that he had come Ito have
the impression that must be some
kind Of . fraud. because l think a
great many of these articles are writ
ten in absolute good faith.
Il tremble to think Of the variety
and the falseness Of the Impressions
make and 1t ID being borne in on
me SO that 1t may change my very
disposition-thatI am . cold. removed
person who has . thinking machine
inside which he adjusts to the circum-
stances. which he does not allow to
be moved by any winds of affection or
emotion of any kind. but turns like a
cold eearchlight on anything that is
presented to its attention and makes
1t work. l am not aware Of having
any detachable apparatus inside Of
me-"
Appearance Of coIdnsss.
It 10 probable that men who come
in contact with President Wilson have
thought he was q cold man because
he was self-oontained on matters OF
public moment. and that even when he
feels he can discuss them freely his
method Of discussion 10 so entirely
dispassionate. There are no evidences
of the warmth Of Roosevelt nor of the
smiling geniality Of Taft in Mr.. vii.
sons speech nor in his manner OF
speech. Sparks, however. are struck
from stones. and II there were no
latent heat there never could Be even
now and then . warm CLEAN from the
surface. President Wilson ON occa-
sions has shown the warm gleam, but
