President Gives His Formal
Consent to Be Made a
Candidate.
NOT OPEN TO CONTEST
Willing to Be Placed on the
Ticket for the Primary
but Not to Fight.

Washington, Feb. IA. President
Wilson today formally gave his con-
sent that his name be used as a can
didate for denomination In a letter to
the secretary Of state of Ohio the pres
ident said he was unwilling to enter
contest for the nomination, but was
ready to permit the use of his name in
the coming primary in order that the
democrats of Ohio might make known
their preference.
The president stated his position in
order to comply with the Ohio pr1-
mary law, which requires candidates
for delegates to the party conventions
to make known their first and second
choices before Feb. 25, and requires
that the candidates for delegates have
the consent of their choice to make
use Of their names.
The president was formally notified
Of the requirements of the law last
week
Allows Use of Name.
President Wilson wrote to Secre-
tary of State Hildebrant Of Ohio as
follows:
while l am entirely unwilling to
enter into any contest for the presi-
Dental nomination of the democratic
party, I am willing to permit the use
OF my name that the democrats of Ohio
may make known their preference in
regard to that nomination.
in order, therefore, to satisfy the
technical requirements of the statutes
of the state of Ohio, l hereby consent
to the use of my name as candidate
for the presidency by any candidate
who seeks to be elected delegate to
the national democratic convention
which is to assemble in June next"
Choice Left to Voters.
This was the first time the president
has consented formally to have his
name used in connection with the
nomination. His name has been plac-
ed on primary ballots in several
states, however, through the activities
of friends.
The president takes the position
that the voters will have to deter
mine whether he will make the race
for the presidency in 1916 as the DEM
ocratic candidate. In letter to A.
Mitchell Palmer, then a representa-
tive from Pennsylvania, at his inaug-
uration, Mr. Wilson made it plain he
would only be candidate again If the
democratic voters desired it.
Advisers and friends of the presi-
dent have taken it for granted for
months that he would be the nominee
Of his party and have made their plans
accordingly.

Ask Release
of Lad Held
for Murder


Marian Frances Lambert, was
found today In the basement OF the
Lake Forest home Of William H.
Orpet, the University student &C.
cused of numbering the young
woman, his former sweetheart, ac-
cording to States Attorney Dady
of Waukegan.

near the suburb last Thursday, has ap-
pealed to States Attorney Ralph Dady
Of Lake county to release William H.
Orpet, the University of Wisconsin
junior held at Waukegan on a charge
of murder. Frank Lambert, father of
the girl, assented to the pleas of his
torney they had doubt of the guilt Of
young Orpet.
States Attorney Dady was willing
to admit today that unless he can prove
that Orpet gave his former sweetheart
poison he cannot convict the student of
murder.
In go letter which passed between
the girl and Orpet-35 written by him
and % by her-the romance of the two
has been traced from it's inception to
the time of the tragedy. The missives
show, the officers say, that alarm was
felt about the girls condition as early
as last September, but the crisis pass
ed and their fears were allayed until
recently.
Word received from De Kalb, where
Miss Celestia Youker, fiancee of Orpet,
is i'll of heart trouble, was that the
young woman is somewhat better and
was inquiring why she had not heard
from Orpet. Miss Youker, a teacher in
the Normal school at De Kalb, has not
been informed of the plight of the stu
dent.
The inquest on the body of Miss Lam
bert, 1t Is expected, will be resumed
Wednesday.
