Hat Springs, Feb. 1s.-"Wilson, and without opposition. too
 The foregoing crisp sentence is in- dicative of the re-uomination of Pres'- dent, Woodrow Wilson, in the opinion of Norman K. Mack of Buffalo. a mem Der of the Democratic national com- mittee, who is enjoying brief so- journ iri the Arkansas Spa, where he Is always welcome visitor and where, on numerous visits in the past he has made host of friends. M. Mack has apartments at the Eastman hotel, He stated he was lare for a brief rest, prior to plunging into poii- tiins in connection with the coming Democratic state convention iii New York. which will be held in Syracuse March 1, and the subsequent primary of his party. which will he held throughout the Empire state on April 4.
 Mr.. Mack has not come here fer a series of political conferences Win Southern Democratic leaders lie has recently returned from Caslfurnia.
 1T am not. here for the purpose of conferring with Southern Democratic leaders, he said, "but just thought I'd run down to Hot Springs for a few baths and enjoy brief rest be- fore returning to Buffalo and Ne" York;"
 Asked to express view relative to national politics, he said:
 "I do not think there is possible chance for opposition to President Wilson. and he Will again be the party's leader. The people generally [ believe, give President Wilson the credit for keeping us out of war, arc | do not believe they are in the nloos to swan horses at this critical period Then, too the country is prosperous Business men have more money now than in recent years. The wofhihs man is getting better pay aui 'h' Democratic administration IS recelv ing the credit for that happy state ot affairs.
 Garrison's Resignation Beneficial.
 q believe that when Secretary O War Garrison rendered his resigna tion to President Wilson, he did th' nrcaident great service, whether n' intended to or not It was generaii. supposed that President Wilson dit not consult with party leaders O those in congress on grave questions and Garrison's resignation prove that the president has been takinl the big men of the country into III confidence. His action in that contro versy has made him more solid witl congress than ever before. To m mind. Garrison hasn't leg to stan' on. If there was one man III th cabinet who should not have reslgne it was Garrison. No one man shoui consider himself so big that his opin ion and his views alone are to D accepted. The resignation of Sescre t8ry of War Garrison has material 0enefited the president. The bill to sproparedness' will eventually pas cengress. but just what the provl sions of that measure will be can mt state. Some trouble may mater i1ltxe on the question of raising tn rsvenue which may give our Heput llcau brethren chance to cut ul Wilson's trip to the people With m ulassage on preparedness, has, so ia aG [ am able to judge, brought m an0d results He will again be th ch0ice of the Democrats and l loo tS see him nominated for his secon t1rm without opposition"
