SOME THINGS THAT ARE HELPING WILSON.

ARE HELPING WILSON.
 The prospect of satisfactory set clement of our differences with Ger many has had the effect of calling out in many quarters an expression of opinion as to the presidents chances for another term. It is noticeable that even prominent republicans and republican papers are making friend ly comments on his success in hand ling our foreign affairs and intimating that unless conditions change very materially before the next presidential election it will de difficult if not inn possible to defeat him:
 It is a fact that in all parts of the country expressions are cropping out commendatory of him. If the coun. try should become engaged in war 1t is doubtful if there would be a great deal of opposition to him because of the fact that he is a safe man to have at the head of the government There is, of course, no great probability that the country will become involved in war but it is recognized that as long as the war in Europe continues and Mexico remains in a condition of chaos war may occur. Hence there is pretty strong sentiment now that the wise thing to do is to give the president another term.
 That he is managing our foreign af- fairs successfully is generally admit ted. The English papers are saying that if Germany comes to the position of the United States on the submarine warfare issue the president will have won notable diplomatic triumph. The indications are that the questions growing out Of the Arabic and the Lusitania disaster will be adjusted satisfactorily to the people of this country. The governors at their con- ference in Boston addressed letter to the president expressing confidence in his administration and saying that he could depend upon the support of their states in the'event of the nation becoming involved in serious trouble. That was an expression of confidence which the president appreciated be- cause, coming as it did from high of ficials of both the democratic and re- publican parties, it showed the great esteem in winch he was held and the confidence in his ability to meet emer- gencies.
 And there is another thing that is telling in his favor. It is the move ment that was started sometime ago by those conducting the German prop aganda in this country to oppose his reelection because of his refusal to favor an embargo on ammunition and of his firm stand in behalf of Ameri- can rights on the seas. His attitude in these matters has caused many republicans to say that if conditions should remain as they are until the next presidential election republicans should support him for another term. With such feeling throughout the country the president would have no difficulty in being renominated. In fact, at the present time there are no signs of opposition to his renomina- tion that are worth noticing.
 What the people are approving is that the president is not only keeping the country out of war but he is doing it without any sacrifice of the coun. try's honor or dignity. Col. Roosevelt recently expressed a different view but no one seems to agree with him. In fact he is being pretty generally criticised for attacking the ad; ministration without cause. His at. tack on it is looked upon as simply an effort to discredit the president for political effect. It has proven to be such a failure that Col. Roosevelt has lost some part of the esteem of his fellow citizens. As the situation looks at present MT. Wilson is slated to suc- ceed himself-Savannah News.
