That Woodrow Wilson will be the candidate of the Democratic party at the next national election, and will be defeated, is the opinion of many prominent leaders in Washington, ac- cording to John Mason Ross, who re- turned from a business and legal trip to the capital city. While in Wash ington the Bisbee attorney conferred with a large number of prominent men and an seemed of the opinion that Wilson was doomed to defeat at the next election.

No QUARREL. WITH
GREAT BRITAIN
President Wilson Is Anxious to
Keep on Friendly Terms
With England.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-"There will
be no quarrel between the United
States and Great Britain over the
blockade and contraband restrictions
on American commerce, SO long as
Woodrow Wilson is president.
"Mr. Wilson believes that the
friendship Of Great Britain will be a
valuable asset Of the United States
after the war. For example, he be-
lieves that after the war Great Brit
ain and the United States, If on
friendly terms, win amicably divide
the trade Of the world between tlem."
This was the statement made to-
day by a member Of the presidents
cabinet who has helped in the formu.
lation of the administration policies
Of dealings with the European bellig-
erents. He said that this is the view
held by himself and a majority Of the
cabinet.
The statement turns light on the
foreign policy of the administration,
which is beginning to arouse animat-
ed discussion in congress, particular.
ly in the senate.
For several months the administra.
tion has been under fire because the
president has addressed stern state.
ments to Germany and Austria and
only mild protests to Great Britain
Bismarck daily tribune., 1915-12-19

in regard to respect for American
rights in the war zone. Critics of the
administration contend that inasmuch
as all the belligerents have thrown
international law to the winds, the
president is guilty Of an unfair dis
elimination in sternly holding the
Teutonic empires to compliance with
the rules OF war while tolerating
British iniquities.
Hitherto defenders of Mr.. Wilson
have contented themselves with the
argument that he was justified in
threatening Germany and Austria be-
cause they had caused the sacrifice OF
American lives. He would not have
been justified in taking extreme steps
In the case Of Great E'ritain, they have
argued, because the British have
merely destroyed American property,
for the loss Of which the owners can
be compensated.
Now it transpires, according to the
cabinet member quoted, that the pres.
ident believes that the future inter.
ests of the United States will be ad-
vanced by keeping on good terms with
Great. Britain.

KENMARE OFFICE
First snow on Italian front

Grand Forks, N. d., Dec. 17.-Olaf
Toffner's endorsement for the Ken
mare postmastership by the state
central committee OF the democratic
party here today followed an inter-
esting battle between representatives
of the Ward county democratic cen
tral committee and John Bruegger of
Williston, national committeeman for
the state. a.
Committeeman Bruegger opposed
the endorsement, asking that the com.
mittee take no action on the Kenmare
office.
County Should Have the Say.
E. H. Stemvik of Minot, speaking
in behalf of the Ward county central
committee, insisted that the county
| organizations voice should be final
with the committeeman for the state
and that the name of the county com
miee's candidae should 60 to the post
Office department and to Presiden;
Wilson, backed by the support Of the
national committeeman.
The state committee accepted Sten.
vick's position, and in so doing estab
(, lished an important precedent.
Decrease eruegqer's Power.
1t means that county organizations
will hereafter be accorded wider
latitude in the selection OF candi
dates for federal appointment, practi
cally eliminating the national commit
teeman as a factor in the settlement
Of local disputes. At least that e
