Ter of the Security National bank of
this city, is at the Mayo hospital, at
Rochester, Mimi, where he sub

sary before the second operation can
be performed and that he will not be
long confined in the hospital.

SPEECH IN Which
WILSON Barred
Candid Statement of His
Conflicting Emotions
and Impulses.

1KOW does 1t feel tt be president
Of the United States?
That question has just been
answered by Woodrow VII
son. Laying aside formality he re-
counted before an audience of news
paper men at the National Press club
In Washington his sensations. expert
ences and methods of forgetting the
heavy responsibilities OF his office.
The speech showed his human side
better than anything he has said or
done since he entered the White House
and will go down In history as one
of the most remarkable utterances
ever delivered by a chief executive and
distinctly unique.
1t was an impromptu speech and not
intended for publication. But after
ward the president yielded to impor-
tunities and consented to release 1t for
newspapers.
President Wilson put his heart into
his remarks. He showed that he chafes
under the restrictions that surround
his position. His constant embarrass-
ment, be said, was to restrain his emo
tions.
He said that he never thought Of
himself as president OF the United
States, because he never had any sense
of being identified with that office. He
felt now, he declared, just as much
outside of the presidency as he had
before he was elected to It. In a hu-
morous way he contradicted any i'm
preston that might exist that he was
a cold, austere person.
