/ washington Correspondence of the
Boston Advertscrl
But the feeling seems most intense
| against Secretary MeAdoo. OF the
treasury, who has become .he son-in-
| law OF the president. and who for
this and other reasons is the guiding
spirit OF the administration. His in
iluence in appointments seems sn-
preme. lie has overriden senators and
representatives until today there Is a
revolt OF widespread proportions
against him. None but Wilson men
seem TO get appointments. II will be
recalled how Speaker Clark did ac-
tually have a majority OF the dele
gates at the Baltimore convention.
Half of the democratic party has been
ignored. IN Massachusetts the demo-
cratic representatives in congress, in
the big appointments, have counted
for nothing. Are they happy and con-
tcnt2
But MeAdoo Is a very able man.
There has not been in the treasury so
competent man in long time. lie
is master The financial world does his
bidding, but criticizing him mean
time. lie Is the dominating spirit of
the important federal reserve board.
An patronage seems 10 have to be
yised by MeAdoo. The revolt in the
senate Is a revolt against McAdoo.
What is his game Il is frequently
asked. Probably, outside of the presi-
dent himself. no one except Mr.. Me-
Adoo knows what ~ IN the mind Of
Mr.. Wilson regarding a second term.
II has been said that the secretary
is building up a vast political machine
and that he even aspires TO succeed
President Wilson.
He has a fascinating personality.
thereby making some very warm
aud loyal friends. But being a master
ful man, and a most skillful politician
and successful business man to
boot and therefore knowing how to
handle men and having ideas and
policy and how TO get what he wants,
he has also eXasperated men who
have become his enemies. They are
waiting to lay him low II they can.
He Is called by them the "eyil ge-
MUS of the administration. Ey some
he is called 'Maehiavelh."
The foregoing is a glimpse of the
atmosphere around the cabinet just
now. While the administration Isl
watchfully waiting for peace in the
world at large, making peace" its
watchword. dark clouds hover round,
p0rtending war and trouble for the
family circle Like all others, the

larger and more important matters.
The party cannot even stand unitediy
behind the president in his Mexican
policy There il the Bryan faction and
the anti Bryan faction. The same is
true Of the immigration measure and
the Philippine bill And last. but not
least. the democrats are unable TO
agree upon the question Of prepared
ness for war.
Ia fine, the democrats by opposi-
ton TO the president, who knows
more than all OF the opposition 20
him combined. are making prepare
ton for defeat In the next election.
They are doing the sort OF work that
always means party disaster. They
have had strong leadership duflng
the past two years. but the republi-
cans need not bother now to attack
the president All they have 60 DO is
to wait for the opposition IN his party
to do lts perfect work.
Furthermore the president need
not exert himself further to bring
about the election Of a democratic
successor lie cannot lead an army
that insists upon marching In the OPP
posite direction. Grover Cleveland

The paying of accounts, like char
