Trouble Ahead for Wilson.

Viewed broadly, even though the
president is having things pretty much
his own way, the conditions do not
tend to continued unity of his party
or of its sustained support of the ad.
ministration. 1t will last for a while,
since aforetime lessons Of the weak.
ness of divided councils have sunk
deep. But grievances are accumulat.
ing. 1t is seen to be not so much a
Democratic administration as a viii

Washington an undertone Of feeling
which portends trouble ahead.

One of the pecuharities of the VIII

some cases even in opposition to it.

Not 4 construetIve Force

The bulk Of the Progressive vote IN
1912 was personal for Roosevelt, rath-
er than a coherent or persistent vote
for the new party. While the Pro-
gressive party may have future as a
political disturbance, Il is not likely
to become a continuous constructive
force in POLITICS. The party may ex-
list as an agitator, but it is net likely
to become a political army waving
banners Of victory in the nation.
