Will the democrats in congress, who
are opposed to President Wilson's for
eign policy, seek reelection next fall?-
1t is practically certainty that the
St. Louis convention will nominate the
present chief executive for reelection,
and adopt a platform approving of his
policies. Under these circumstances
if they seek reelection they will be
running on platform that reproves
their official conduct. A Washington
correspondent, in a reminiscent mood.
calls attention to a precedent for this
situation, but it is extremely doubtful
if it will be followed by the present
generation of democratic congressman.
When in 1896 the democratic partv
nominated. Bryan for president on a
platform denouncing the Cleveland
administration, Henry Turner was
serving his eighth term in congress, a
member from Georgia, and the demo-
cratic convention Of his district was
unanimous for his denomination that
year. He declined, however, saying
that he was opposed to the policies Of
the nominee for president, and that
it was due said nominee as the leader
of his party that every democratic con-
stituency send man to congress who
would be in accord with the president
if Mr.. Bryan was elected. The antics
of some of the democratic candidates
will be interesting to watch. =

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1916

A staff correspondent Of the New
York Tribune has been in Minnesota
sizing up the political situation. He
pronounces our presidential primary
law as idiotic, and thinks either Roose-
evelt or Hughes would carry the state
with a whoop. But the Tribune cor

ial outlook is Incorrect: He. assumes
that it will be three-cornered fight
for the nomination, and that with a
divided opposition Clapp may squeeze

The peace and dignity Of the state
and nation visibly trembled last week
when Gust johnson, an artless lum-
berjack, drove the thin edge of the
wedge into the Indian treaty lid at
Hibbing. Not being conversant with
recent federal regulations he carried
a flask of liquor on his chip right
into the heart of the richest village in
the world, which is a crime. Alert
Indian agents bounced upon him i'm
mediately, however, and Hibbing is
gradually regaining it's equilibrium.
Gust faces a term in federal
prison, presumably for putting the
"treat" in treaty.

Referring to the splendid indorse-
ment the senate gave President Will
son last week the Minneapolis Journal
calls attention to the fact that four
of the senators Cummins, La
Toilette and Sherman-who voted
with the minority are presidential pos
sibilities, and were playing politics.
Of Senator Cumnins it says, his vote
was a disappointment to many of his
Minnesota supporters and adds: "They
were not prepared to see him take his
place alongside Senator Clapp, who
on those rare occasion upon which he
descends from the fence, usually con-
trives to descend on the wrong side."

The high cost of driving due to the
present price of gasoline is occupying
the attention of motorists, and at the
rate consumption is increasing it is
very evident that new automobile
fuel must be provided. Last year it
is estimated that automobile owners
in the United States alone used one
billion gallons Of gasoline, and the
enormous demand is constantly fore
ing the price up. Denatured alcohol
has been suggested as a substitute,
and it could be. made and sold at a
profit for II cents a gallon. Besides
it is said to be cleaner, more healthful,
safer and more powerful than gaso-
line. 1t appears to be the only feas-
ible solution yet suggested.

There are three alleged republican

a stool pigeon for Roosevelt, Esta-

to vote for on the top line of the

aren't any. What a lovely expression
