Mr.. Wilson a. the candidate Of the con-
vention which adopted the one term
plank 10 bound by this in principle and
that regardless Of the fact that no leg
islative act limiting the Presidency to
one term has been passed by Congress
Mr.. Wilson may not seek to become the
standard bearer Of his party In ths next
national campaign.
All OF the Bryan influence which has
survived his rupture With the President.
officials expect, will be exerted to defeat
the efforts OF Mr.. wilson's managers to
secure for him the nomination for . Sec

1t became known to-day that before
his departure for the Pacific coast last
week Mr.. Bryan sounded some Of his
closest political associates regarding
his contemplated stand and that as a
result me news reached the Presidents
advisers. There are reasons for be-
lisving that the President knew Of Mr..
Bryans plans before he (the President)

Many h9O have not heoita4ed to 20
further than this IN analysing Bryan's
determination TO oppose Wilson's can-
didacy. They bel1eve that It explains
