WILSON'S Strength.

The result of n canvass of five hun
dred Congressman, leading politicians
editors bankers and others, conducted
by the Washington bureau OF the New
YORK Sun for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the sentiment OF the country tn
ward President Wilson as a probable
candidate for reelection, was an
nounced by that paper yesterday.
Briefly stated, Il shows that PresI-
dent Wilson is stronger than his par
ty; that he is stronger than he was
six months ago, and that his greatest
element of strength Is derived from
his Efforts to keep the country out of
war.
While the Sun says it's inaujrIes
were made without regard TO poIitics
nearly all the answers quoted come
from Republicans, and Il is a signi1-
cant fact that they nearly all agree fin
the view that Il will be a hard matter
to defeat Wilson with any Republican
who may be named, and that II there
is a business boom between this time
ana the election, continuing up to the
date OF the election, IL will be impos-
Sible to defeat the President Many
Republicans who make this statement
say however, that II will require the
business boom for the Democrats TO
carry Congress-
This is one OF the earliest forecasts
undertaken by any New York paper.
