SD' ~, nblicity chieftain of the COM
sa Nv. has been busy preparing the
' Ya'r5s Of achievement" of Woodrow
n lS.Y and is putting them into the
'l u. for general distribution by the
pton Some Democratic leaders in
..rst this early awakening of their
Wy s,roI committee to mean that the
.idont is certain to be candidate
.rccppd himself in the year 1916.
INV about it? There are some of
4. LADDERS of the dominant party who
..rs better means than others to get
.dia information and it can be said
@,t some of these men seemingly be-
r.Ts sincerely that Mr.. Wilson will
u MN again for the presidency. In
as,e DISPATCHES once or twice the
after of the Democratic succession
i, bpeD discussed, and let it be said
.,nkIv that the discussion has been
nam tbe viewpoint Of one who thinks
A. weight of evidence is on the side
4 thOSe who believe Mr.. Wilson will
sd he must abide by the plank in the
Npmocratic platform on the subject of
single term, and that when the time
cnes he will utter the word Of dec
nation to stand for a denomination.
hit shall be asked why the presi-
hpt does not say the word now if he
g its ultimate utterance in mind. the
nsrer is easy. If Mr.. Wilson today
hpuld say definitely that he will not
h a candidate for denomination, nine
Truths Of his influence with members
congress would go down the Poto-
mac on tile bosom of the west winds.
Politicians look ahead and if they are
snTlnced the chief who is issuing or
hs will have seven years more of
power they are likely to be much
more tractable than if they think his
power is to pass quickly.
Good Reason for His Silence.
President Wilson wants certain leg
station put through. He can get it
put through much more easily while
be force Of workmen thinks it is to
lave the same foreman for a long
tine to come. If Mr.. Wilson should
ay now that he will not be a candi-
date for denomination the Democrats
b congress might play ballywhack
With his trust legislation and with
cher legislation which he has at
heart.
Tho present president Is in the
same position In one respect that
theodore Roosevelt was in when he
vas president. There are conserva-
uTs Democrats in congress who do
not Ike the trend of the presidents
@nVltleS in the least. They were
nfced to give way in tariff legisla-
aon and in some degree to currency
R8slation and now they are under
@npIsion to give way in trust legis-
AuOn' Theodore Roosevelt managed
" secure the passage of liberal leg
sauon, although the conservatives of
us party were as antagonistic to it
ID some of the conservative Demo-
0S'S are today to several heart
measures" of President Wilson.
Il nings shape themselves Eat.sfac-
%'ly and no extra issues" arise
lure Will be only one more long ses-
'Ul OF congress before Mr.. Wilson
raves Office. 1t will be time enough
WI lim to declare for or against an
,4eF nomination for himself when
4'' long session is in the middle of
- curse less than two years hence.
PRESIDENT whose power 1t If known
,Ua IS to pass cannot get things
lone easily.
