originally championed it. the President
decided it accomplished the principal
purposes sought.
The President expects to sign the

TELLS OF PLANS MADE
Philippine, Ship Purchase, Revenue
Cutter, Aid to Cotton Men and
Other Measures Likely.

The legislative program before the
House will keep Congress in session
at least a month longer, according tc
statements made at the White House
today by Chairman Henry of the
House rules committee.
Mr.. Henry declared that as soon az
the war revenue bill is disposed Of a
special rule providing for twelve hours
debate will be brought in for the con-
sideration of the Philippine bill. AZ
terward a rule will be introduced for
the consideration of the ship purchase
bill. allowing eight hours debate. The
right to offer amendments will be
granted on both bills.
Revenue Cutter Bill Coming Up.
The revenue cutter bill also is to be
taken up at this session of Congress-
according to Mr.. Henry, and southern
members of Congress will make efforts
to gain consideration of the Henry bill
for the direct loan of government
funds to cotton growers. He stated
that there are several other minor bills
which may be taken up also.
Mr.. Henry and a committee ofscotton
growers expect to see the President
next week to discuss the cotton situa-

benefit of money sent to Southern

Must Pass Four Bills.
Four big pieces of legislation will
have to be passed by the House before
according to the gossip
in the cloakrooms and lobbies today,
and for that reason there is slight
chance of a real vacation for any con-
gresham who wants to get home to do
a bit of campaigning.
The bills which the administration is
interested in at present and which con-
stitute the program to be finished up
before adjournment are the Philippine
independence measure, the Clayton an
ti-trust conference report, the radium
bill and the Alexander merchant ma
rIne bill. Representative Adamson OF
Georgia, chairman of the interstate
and foreign commerce committee, has
said he would endeavor also to have
the coast guard measure passed at this
session.
The Philippine bill and the radiun
conservation bill are on the calendar

both have precedence over the mer-
chant marine bill, and 1t is not likely

No Explanation vouchsafed.

The White House declined to make
explanations or to add anything to the
wording Of the letter. Officials there
have seen newspaper accounts Of the
warm Endorsement of the President to
lead his party two years from now. but
it Is positively known that these were
unsolicited and -upinspired and would
have been objected to had the White
House been approached on the subject.
Several democratic state conventions
have simply Endorsed the administra-
ton of the President without indors-
ing his denomination. This was done
by the Maryland state convention yes
terday. The delegates to that conven-
tion were unanimous for renomina-
ton Endorsement, but the policy of the
party has been consistently opposed
to such an Endorsement in advance. 1t
is reported that other state conventions
will follow custom and will either in
dorse the administration or the Presi-
dent personally as the present and
future leader Of his party.
No man close to the President ever
thinks Of him as a self-seeker for
another term or believes that he would
expend q minutes energy to obtain
another nomination.
Would Not Reject Offer.
Apparently. however. If the nomina-
tion came to him spontaneously, unani-
mously, he would not reject it. No
man close to him will turn a hand
toward that end. as the President
would probably stop such action the
instant he knew about it.
One vital objection the Presidents
intimate friends would make to what
looked like suggestion from them that
he be given another nomination is that
the President is an exponent. of a
free, untrammeled primary, wherein the
people express directly their own
wishes as to the party nominee. In
dorsements by convention might have
the effect Of forestalling the primaries
two years from now. in which the
nomination will be made direct, If
legislation is passed by Congress in
time, or indirectly through the state
primary elections. The President
stands as an advocate Of primary
nominations for the presidency. and
to obtain any advantage by conven-
ton Endorsements does not appeal to
him. 1t Is said.

TumuIty Tells New Jerseyans
Not to Put Second Term in
Convention Platform.
SAYS HIS CHIEF BALKS
AT TAKING ADVANTAGE
One Vital Objection Is That Wilson
Is Exponent of Primary for
Presidential Choice.

At the direction of President Wilson,
Secretary Tumulty today wrote a let
ter to New Jersey democrats declin-
ing to have them indorse the President
for a second term.
Secretary Tumulty's letter was to Ed
ward E. Grosscup. state treasurer of
New Jersey. 1t follows:
you were generous enough to con-
suit me as to whether the democrats
of New Jersey should at this time in
dorse the President for a second term.
I had a talk with the President about
1t and he deeply appreciates the gen.
erosity of the suggestion; but New
Jersey is his home state, the men who
would act in this matter are his own
personal friends, and he feels that it
might seem as If he were taking ad-
vantage of the extraordinary situation
now existing to gain some personal ad-
vantage through such an expression Of
confidence by them.
This would be inconsistent with his
whole thought and spirit and he
shrinks from 1t as from something
that would embarrass him rather than
help him.
He feels confident that you will
know the spirit in which he says this;
that in urging the democrats of New
Jersey not to do this he Is not abating
in the least his deep appreciation"
Convention Next Week.
The New Jersey democrats are to
hold their state convention next week
and the leaders have been insistent
on indorsing Mr.. Wilson for another
term in the White House. Some of
the leaders were prepared to indorse
him without consultation with the
White House.
The fact that the President, a New
Jerseyan, would be able to prevent an
Endorsement by the coming convention
or to secure one, if he so desired, has
brought about the embarrassment re-
ferred to.
The letter is regarded as of immense
significance at this time, however, as
showing that Mr.. Wilson will not throw
cold water on the movement Of his
admirers toward his denomination. He
will, however. hold aloof from any
movement of this kind, and by no word
or act give inspiration to IT.. That, at
least, is the interpretation. given to the
letter today by those who have ana
lyzed It closely and who are aware of
for denomination already
made by democrats in several state
