1 generally speaking it is economically correct
 Today both in the foreign and domestic policy where the foreign and domestic policy are vitally i'm portart, Wilson i5 assurediy moro devoted to Big Business than to Littlo Business.
 His later day development makes this exceedingly clecr beyond any sort of question.
 It would not be so extravagant . notion to imagine Wilson adopted by the republicans and receiving their nomination in patriotic out burs-. But evon the most grotesque cCnception of political menatosities could hardly imagine Bryan or Kit chin or Gore for one feeting mi- mute being received and tolerated by republican convention.
 Moreover if we could imagine any
 
 place, it is positively certain that at no stage of their administration, allowing for the conservatism that responsibility naturally entails, could it be conceived that man like Senator Lodge in the Senate, or Representative Mann ic the House would support any cae oi ter policies at ary time whatso- lover, and moreover that imp p0-sibil- ity lies in the fact th2t it would be impossible to imagine these repre- sentativcs of the little bucineSa man ever so far forgetting what was due to their party's economic founda. ltions as to introduce iegiSlatioE favoring the greft irteresI3.
 Nothing thot has recently de- veloped shows how completely poli- tics is the reflex of ones economic position ss this crisis which is now proceeding .n Washington. It is not that the leaders of the d ,rcc cratic party are untrue tC tho principles of their party, but rather that Wilson IS adv beating a policy when his party economically has no sympathy for whatever b b-cause it has TO ma ter:al concern for their economic in- terCsts. On the ether hand Wilson is receiving support from rerubli- cans not because they have deserted the recognized principles of their party but because Wilson has adopt. sd as an administrative policy the very policy republic, n president might very reasonably be 3xpocto6 with some degree of certainty tc adopt.
 One may rdicu,c Bryan or his followers, but in the main t.icy are truer to their economic type thcn is President Wilson tc the predominant type of the party which nominated him.
 Theoretically Wilson's democracy az southerner is quite reasonable because within ample precedent, but because he and h,s nave ccor omlc interests which conflict with the later day trend of the party, his ad- ministration develops an incoIsist-- ency.
 Take two mon prominent enough in the democratic party: Osccr Un- derwood coming from the steel ana iron industry of Alabama and Kit chin representing the farmer ele. ment and tho smaller lawyers who live off them. The two men are quite unlike and without any doubt the proper position for conserva- tive like Underwood is within the republican party did not the senti- mentalism of the solid south make party matters an hereditary thing with such as he.
 | The squabble proceeding is there for a squbble of economic inter. ests; tho inconsistencies evident are the inconsistencies inevitable where one representative of certain econo. lmic interests finds himself in q party opposed to such interest eco nomically.
 And it is moreover exceedingly interesting to note that the squabble by no stretch of the imagination concerns the majority or wage work ing interest. They are unrepresent ed. by any such, thing as politica policy and so far as they have any l.t Is only O distinction without
