Boston. Mass, April Twill comb:-
nation Of the Shawl Christian Endeavor-
Prohibition vote with former Gov Foss'
personal following be strong enough to
land the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation for Eugene N. Foss on prohi-

The strength of the prohibition wave is
occasioning surprise, although the we'll
informed always knew, of course, that
the rural districts and the smaller cities
nave ever been strong for temperance,
and peculiarly susceptible to any moral
reform uprising whether engineered by a

ist
Men close to ex-Gov. Foss say there is
no DOUBT that he will run for the Repub-
hcan nomination for governor, with a
prohibition plank as his cardinal issues

Mr.. Shaw, it may be recalled, has
consented to the use of his name as

he shall be authorized to withdraw if
either Of the dominant political parties

prohibition plank in it's platform"
Politicians Dread Issue
Already pledges are in circulation. and
are said to have been signed to a large
extent binding voters without regard to

Mr. Shaw declines to discuss the COM

no has never had an ambition for public

was entirely conditional and dependent
on matter of principle
Ordinarily, politicians might be in
clined to sheer alike at the Foss candi-

WILSON PLANS
WESTERN TRIP

Washington, April 1.-President
Wilson is planning to make his de-
layed trip to the San Francisco Expo
sition as soon as foreign affairs per-
init. His advisers, it became known
tonight, are very anxious to havt him
make number of speeches in differ
ent parts of the country before the
opening Of the next session of Con-
gress.
Just when the trip will be made is
still uncertain. Friends of the Pres
ident say the contemplated trip can
not be called Campaign tour" and
they are preventing as far as possible
the formation of Wilson Clubs in
order to avoid even the appearance of
starting a boom.
Although Mr.. Wilson's political ad-
visers say privately that they have no
doubt that he will be renominated, it
was indicated tonight that there will
be no formal launching of his candi-
dacy, as such a step might embarras IS
him in carrying out the policies of the
administration.

That is the message which Pope

This special interview is the first
such granted by a Pope since the
DAYS of Leo XIII, and only the second
audience of the kind granted by the
HOLY Father-with permission to quote
tin the modern history of the
church.
The importance Of the Pope's utterances
is enhanced immensely by the fact that
he has remained silent on the war.
His Holiness continued:
"The entire world is looking to Ameri
ca to take the initiative toward peace
