Curb Politics

Should Wilson fail in re-clec-
ton, it has been suggested he be
made Superintendent of The In
ternational Cores pon n ce
School.
We did not agree with the sin
gle term platform of the Demo-
Gratis four years ago. BIT it was
a promise not fulfilled. 1t was
never so intended. 1t was a pollt-
ical move. Now President Wilson
SAYS Democratic pledges are state
nents TO be fulfilled. Political
Bunco! No more to be fulfilled
now than before. He was nomln-
ated four years ago with a very
definite pledge on Panama tolls.
Conditions changed. He failed to
keep the pledge. But conditions
have not changed on the single
term pledge. Rub off the academic
gloss of rhetorical Princeton, and
you will find the politician, Will
son-that's all.
The Presidents hedging for
harmony has killed the expression
Of American Manhood.
Democrats in Delaware We're
lot to be outdone. They PIT a
Hughes on their ticke3-but his
name is jim.
If Wolcott succeeds, the Sauls-
bury clan will take to the woods.
If he fails, it might as we'll. This
last convention is the first open
skirmish of this generation. The
old feud with moonshine playing
its usual part. Politics, romance,
families! Really, it's more inter
csting than the selection of a
Democrat Postmaster at Lewes.
Wilson's speech before the Suf-
fragists reminds US of 81 come to
bury Caesar, but not to praise
him."
Republican that | am, read
with considerable pride the state
incnt of President Wilson on en-
tering office, that publicity wa the
keynote of the New America. That
the latch string Of the executive
office was to be out always to
American thought, that Democ-
racy was to be a fact, that diplo-
matte reItape was past, that the
country was to know. Of course
he put in the Wilsonian dialect,
but that's the way | understood it,
now submit it to the greatest
admirer ne has if the doings
around the executive Office aren't
pretty kingly affairs. More red
tape to get audience than ever be-
fore.
