NO ABUSE OF, POWER
Charge That President IS q
Despot Is Futile.
Republican Press Unable 80 Point 70
q Single Instance Of intimidation
Of Legislator by the CHIEF
Executive.

Many presidents have purchased
support ID the house or the senate Dy
the use of patronage. Mr.. WILSON'S
bitterest opponent makes no sucn
charge against him.
Certain presidents have sought 10
coerce recalcitrant members OF con-
gress by publicly attacking them. MT:
Wilson has done nothing like that. I.
Other presidents have tried to bring
hostile senator's and representatives
into line by holding over their heads
the power OF the national organiza-
ton and threatening them with defeat.
No such indictment has been brought
against Mr. Wilson
More than one president has been
accused of making deals with con-
gressmen by which their support was
obtained in consideration OF execu'
tive approval of legislation in which
they were interested. No accusation
Of that kind has been lodged against
MIR. Wilson.
I'VE are assured by partisan Re-
publican press that the president is ..
despot who rules the house with an
iron hand, and that the senate mas
been engaged in desperate battle to
maintain It's independence against
usurpation. But when? And how?
And where?
What influence has President Will
son ever exerted upon congress except
the influence Of advice and counsel?
Whass command does he exercise over
the Democratic majority in Washing
ton except the command Of brain and
character?
What member OF congress can stand
up and say that the president ever
tried to intimidate him? What mem
Der can say that the president ever
promised him anything or threatened
him with anything?
What single instance of an abuse OF
executive power, can be charged
against President Wilson in his rels-
tons with congress? Yet we are
asked to believe that he is an auto
crat who has stripped the legislative
branch Of its constitutional preroga-
tives and made it machine for reg
istering his imperial DEGREES.
