ington, said yesterday:
Wilson Gains Popularity.
DAY by day and month by month
the wisdom of President Wilson'S
policies shines with clearer luster.
The whole people of the United
States-not part of them-look on
Wilson today as their president ana
their representative at Washington,
and that in genuine, a real and a
new sense of the word he Is repre-
senting the legitimate interests of all
classes, creeds and parties.
Thousands and literally tens Of
thousands of Republicans the coun-
try over look on Wilson, not as a
politician whose political interests
separate and estrange him from their
interests because of party line or
a party name, but they feel that they
have a man in the White House who
is in sympathetic and aggressive
touch with their own ideals, ambi-
tions and endeavors.
Wilson today is doing more to
wipe out party bias, prejudice and
rancor--always the stronghold Of
stand-pat politicians-than any pre-
vious president. He will go down In
history as one of the supremacy great
men that have stood at the helm Of
our government"
Dege Out For Senator.
Southwest Washington-the whole
state. for that matter-is interested
in another candidate, James H.

and he is popular, too, q man to be
reckoned with by the four other
Democratic candidates. There will
be more to say about Dege later. next
week perhaps, but in the meantime
he will bear watching.
