Platform Not Intended to
Apply to His Adj
ministration
MERELY SUGGESTS
AN AMENDMENT
A Preliminary Campaign Is
Started by the Dem
ocrats

Washington. Feb. l7.-Demoeratc
| leaders here feel certain that President
| Wilson will be a candidate for the nom
ination for president in 1916, and some
of them are inclined to believe that
his selection as Democracy's standard
bearer then is assured now. TO sug-
gestions that Mr.. Wilson's nomination
for second term would be violation
OF the Baltimore platform, leading DEM
ocrats reply that the platform declara-
tion was merely an Endorsement OF the
proposal to amend the federal constitu-
ton SO as to provide for a single term
for person elected to the presidency.
They contend that there has been much
misunderstanding about the term of
president" plank, and argue that care
full reading of it ought to convince any
body that it does not contain any party
inhibition against a second term for Mr..
Wilson or any other president elected
prior to the adoption of the suggested
constitutional amendment. This is the
text of the plank;
"We favor single presidential term,
and to that end urge the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution making
the president of the United States in
eligible for reelection, and we pledge
the candidate of this convention to this
principle
Those leaders who are proceeding on
the conviction that President Wilson will
be candidate for the nomination in
1916 have not regarded it as necessary
to consult the president on the subject.
The preliminary work of the Democratic
-
Wilson in the White House after 1917
is expressed in three pamphlets dealing
with the accomplishments of the admin
istration. They are intended to furnish
the keynote for the Democratic cam
paigns for the election of senators and
representatives this year. To hold the
Senate and the House under Democratic
control is the immediate purpose of the
committee. Democratic victories in a
majority of the congressional districts
are regarded as essential to the success
of the ticket in 1916. The leaders main
tain that Mr.. Wilson is immensely pop
ular. They hold that if presidential
election were held now with Mr.. Wilson
as the Democratic candidate he would
be triumphantly reelected While the
tariff legislation is criticised in certain
sections it is contended that the enact
ment of the currency legislation has off
set it entirely.
The president is encouraging the cam
paign plans of the party workers in sew
eral ways. His discussion of the New
York political situation last week with
Governor Glynn and Chairman McCombs
of the Democratic national committee in
Dictated that he would sanction The effort
of those New York Democrats bent upon
recognizing the party in the Empire
state.

Mayor Curley Enjoys This
Doubtful Distinc-
ton
HAS NO ROOM
IN OFFICE BUILDINGS
Absence from the Capital
May Hold Up His
Salary

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE resignation
from the House of Representatives OF
James M. Curley not having been re-
ceiyed by the speaker yesterday, Mr.
Curley may be said to enjoy the distine-
tion of being the only eongressman-by-
mail, the only congressman who has no
quarters in the government office build
ings in Washington, and who therefore
attends to the business of his district by
letter.
Curley's congressional salary, however,
hangs on his pull with the serseant-at-
arms of the House, who, according to the
rules, may cause members absent With
out excuse to lose their pay. This rule
is by no means dead letter, but has
been enforced in the past, and were IL
not for Congressional courtesy" no
doubt some member would invoke it
against Curley to-day 1t is not at all
impossible that this may be done as
it is.
The rules provide that no member
may absent himself from Washington
without permission OF the House. Mr..
Curley has not asked for this permission,
no doubt because he realizes that he
could not get the necessary unanimous
consent. In view of this lack of per-
mission the sergeant-at-arm may take
it into his hands to withhold part of
Mr. Curley's salary, the allowance for II.
secretary and stationery.
According 10 another rule OF the House
member may request of the speaker
that fellow member may be excused
indefinite ~ from his duties, 1t is srg-
gested here that this rule could be in
yoked by some representative in order TO
force the Curley double-job issue to a
head Such a request would have TO 70
before the House for unanimous sons,rt
The refusal of unanimous consent. which
would be highly probable, would brng
Curley directly and openly into dis
obedience of the House.
There is good deal OF private talk
against Curley among Democratic as
well as Republican members, but no one
cares to be quoted as condemning the
practices of the only congressmanyby-
mail now in the pay of the federal gov
eminent.
