According to Washington Core

has decided that Woodrow Wilson Is
candidate for third term as Pres
ident.
OF course, to spring national poll
tics or to permit national politics to
have any bearing on action at Wash
ington, at this time, would be but lit
tie short of sedition and downright
villainy, but, nevertheless, a condi-
ton is approaching such as has, on
several occasions, since Washington
time, set the nation to boiling, polit-
ically, regardless of all important
non-political matters on hand 3&%
This condition. will be aggravated
in the case of Wilson. The cliiei
objection to a third term is danger
of autocracy. President Wilson not
only has all the power of official pat
.ronage, but practically absolute con
troll of our martial, financial, bust
ness and domestic interests. In fact,
he's already more kinds of an auto.
crat than was Grant, Jefferson, Madi,

er.
But, just now, there's moro sense
and fun in discussing war potatoes
and beans than the campaign of 1920.
