THE POLITICAL SITUATION

And the political situation is not suffi- cently acute tU cause a hasty return of the President. The democratic ranks are solid. If Wilson desires the nomination, no one will endeavor to prevent the reali- movement on the political screen-as far as the democrats gre concerned-is that of Speaker Clark. While he is not can didate, he would be were Wilson to cry with Wolsey Fling away ambition and immediately follow his own advice.
 While the republicans are unusually active with a dozen men believing them selves inspired to lead this nation out of the slough of despond in which they declare the democrats have dumped it. and straining against the leash to enter the race for the iuiciest of all plums, there is no reason why Will son should show agitation and return pell mell to Washington. With the re- publican politician, he is as influential in Hot Springs he would be were he seated in the White House.
 And, therefore, the nation will pardon the President for extending the happiest period of his life-the happiest even despite the watchfulness of the American press, the craning of the necks of other guests, and the necessity of moving only when protected by the long arm of the secret service
