MR.. WILSON'S HAT IN THE RING

Such terms as mastery deception"
and Reputation of solemn pledge"
are being freely applied by his critics
10 the presidents evident willingness
to accept a denomination, tho they
do not state who else they thought
would be nominated, says the Liter
ary Digest. The news comes out in
the publication of letter Mr.. Will
son wrote about three years ago, a
month before his inauguration, when
there was movement on foot in
congress toward constitutio nal
amendment limiting the presidency to
single term. In this letter, address
sed to Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer. he declared that "a fixed con-
stitutional limitation to a single term
of office is highly arbitrary and un-
satisfactory from every point of
view," and the one-term movement
promptly came to a standstill. The
charge of reputation arises from the
fact that the Baltimore platform, on
which Mr.. Wilson was elected, contain
ed this plank:
We favor single presidential
term, and TO that end urge the adop-
tion of an amendment to the consti-
tuition making the president of the
United States ineligible for reelection,
and we pledge the candidate of this
convention to this principle"
The New York Sun, (Ind.), points
out that in his letter to Mr.. Palmer
Governor Wilson studiously avoided
any direct reference to the Baltimore
pledge" but attacked the single
term principle in general way pre-
cisely as if it were a new proposition
suddenly brought up in congress for
Democrats to consider on its merits. >
Thus, the Sun goes on to say, "Dr.
Wilson, the elected president of the
United States, actually went into
congress by means Of the Palmer let
ter to lobby against the enactment
of the principle which his party had
declared" Moreover, 1--WE have the
positive assurance of the World that
the contents of the letter to Palmer
were made known to the leaders Of
congress and undoubtedly exercised
considerable influence in staying the
passage Of the one-term resolution" ="
