WILSON THE ONE
MAN WHO CAN WIN
Norman Mack Says It's a
Waste of Time to Consider
Any Other

Former Chairman Democratic Nation
al Committee Says Country Turns
to Wilson and Gives Some of
the Reasons For This.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. lex
National Committeeman Norman E.
Mack, of Buffalo, with Mrs. Mack and
their two charming daughters are
passengers on the Great Northern
which put into port here today. The
young ladies'. are evidently loyal to
their Scotch lineage, for they walk the
deck wearing dainty Scottish bonnets,
with ribbons futtering in the breeze.
Mr.. Mack thinks that it is a waste
of time to consider anybody else than
Wilson as presidential timber in 1916
on the Democratic side. He is the one
man who can win.
Like Gov. Glynn, who is also aboard,
Mr. Mack believes that Justice Hughes
of the Supreme court or Gov. Whit
man will carry the Republican banner.
Mr. Lamont, of New Jersey, however,
another prominent Democrat who is
aboard, believes that Hernick, of Ohio,
is in the running, and is a much
stronger man than most people usually
believe. He had occasion to look into
some of Hernick's report to the gov
ernment made when the Ohioan was
ambassador to Paris, and he says they
show that he is a brainy man.
"The Republicans stand a show of
carrying Ohio whoever runs in the
next campaign" said Mr.. Mack, "but
the next President of the United
States, of whatever party, cannot be
elected without carrying New York.
It is again the pivotal State. The
Southern and Eastern States, with
New York, will elect a Democrat, or
the Western and Eastern States with
The history of the Tilden and Cleve-
land elections will be repeated, if the
Democrats are successful.
"If the Wilson administration legis-
lation has a fair chance to prove it's
worth before 1916, the Democrats will
win. The people approve Wilson's
! Mexican policy Over 100000 Arneri-
cans went to Europe last summer,
criticising Wilson's watchful waiting
policy as they went, and they were

glimpse of war They had an oppor-
tunity to realize what it means. When
they were rescued by means OF the
zeal of Mr.. Wilson and his cabinet,
who lent all the agencies of the gov
ernment to their relief, they came back
converts to watchfu1 waiting, and the
leaven of their conviction is still at
work If it had not been for watchtul
waiting the Democrats would have
lost Congress. That policy prevented
history repeating itself, for you know
the passage of tariff bill is invari-
able followed by the loss of the lower
House by the party in power"
Mr. Mack is writing editorials in his
erican business to take up the manu-
facture of many things which the Wor1f
has largely left to Germany to make
and now needs, such as toys, medl
cines, like trianoe, analine dyes, etc.
and he favors a little protection tt
the merchants to encourage them II
undertaking the enterprise, while th'
raw materials needed should come il
free He is getting letters from al
over the South and East from Demo

Mr.. Mack is heartily in favor of tn
shipping bill pending In the Senate.
