Political Activity During the
Adjournment of Politics Explaired d
tFrom the New York SUM-

would be sufficient explanation of
the mystery if It could be maintained
that politics has nothing to do with the
primary contests and begins only when
the candidates have been designated
by the preliminary process. THE Pres
/ ident," says this observer, "is leader
OF the Democratic party. He is natur-
ally anxious to improve the personnel
Of the Democratic party and .
is interested now in getting men who
will be wholeheartedly with the ex-
ecutive branch Of the government In a
steady prosecution of the war TO a
successful end" Again;
''When the President speaks OF men
who have been opponents OF his ad-
ministration, he means men who have
not hesitated by one means or another
TO Obstruct the path Of legislation both
in the open and In secret ..
"When a man goes before his con-
stituency and frankly states that he
has opposed the administration and
wants to be nominated on that plat
form, he is dealing frankly with his
people and the administration is per-
fectly willing to leave the decision to
the free act Of the State or district con-
cerned. But when a man goes before
his constituency and with appropriate
gestures says: I have stood by the
President; l have given him every dol
lar he aksed for; have supported the
administration and then the people Of
that district appeal TO the White House
TO tell them whether that is so or not,
the President is bound to give an an
swer."
The explanation may appear some
what subtle, but it is perfectly intelli-
gible in the light Of the preceding
announcement that as leader Of the
Democratic party Mr.. Wilson con-
ceives it to be his duty. although
President, to supervise closely the
personnel of the party's candidates for
Congress. UNLESS he had done his ut
most" adds Mr.. Lawrence, Ito purge
his own party Of disloyalists and OBJ
structionists, the President would not
be able to ask the country TO retain
Its confidence I'm the Democratic party
in Congress. That is the crux Of the
matter"
We take pleasure in presenting the
substance of this able attempt TO show
that while pursuing political activities
OF high voltage, Mr.. Wilson is really
doing nothing inconsistent with his
declaration that politics is adjourned.
II Mr.. David Lawrence's explanation
fails 20 satisfy anybody it is because
English words sometimes have differ
ent meanings TO different minds.

The American public is indebted 10
Mr. David Lawrence for a candid at
tempt to elucidate President Wilson's
ideas OF an adjourned politics Mr..
Lawrence is the accomplished Wash
ington correspondent Of the Evening
Post. His explanation Of the less
obvious aspects of administration
policy are always intelligent, fire.
quently instructive. sometimes marked
by visible signs Of inside information,
and generally inspired by an inde-
pendent judgment, even if they sell
dom seem so shaped as TO be wholly
displeaslng to the exalted parsonage
whose thoughts and purposes Mr.
Lawrence undertakes to interpret
for the benefit Of the bewildered. In
many instances we should readily
prefer his version 10 that Of a more
formally recognized distributor Of
White House opinion; even 10 Mr..
George Creels version. for example
From this respectable source we
got yesterday a luminous statement
Of what Mr.. Lawrence believes to be
the principles underlying these repeat
ed and apparently highly political acts
Of the President which have been so
widely criticised as inconsistent with
his patriotic declaration that politics
is adjourned. When he attributes dis
loyalty" to a Senator or Representative
in Congress running for reelection, IL
has puzzled the sun, among others, TO
know whether he means disloyalty TO
the government or TO the adminlstra-
tlon.
Now. Mr.. David Lawrence points out
in the Post that the President, being
too busy TO follow minutely the politi-
cal situation in a given State. de
pends for guidance on two or three po-
litical advisers as well as the leaders
who are on intimate and friendly terms
with the administration. They steer
him; and If he makes a mistake il is
true that those who guide him are
fundamentally TO blame, but the res
possibility is fundamentally with the
President" That is a proper distinc- |
tiOn: and the relation as aforesaid be- !
tween the President as leader Of the !
Democratic party and the local experts |
on whom he depends for steering is
entirely legitimate in the political |
sense. But 10 strikes us that the state |
OF affairs here described can hardly |
be regarded, even by the widest stretch |
Of the tolerant Imagination. as denot- |
ing the adjournment of politics.
Mr.. Lawrence's second point is that |
the several cases Of President Wilson's |
intervention have not been in cleo |
tions, but in primaries. This. Of course, !

THE CITY ELECTION

Yesterdays balloting resulted in the election of the entire Cordova ticket and the defeat of the two independent candidates. Despite miserable weath- eT conditions, a fairly large vote was poIled, and considering the fact that che majority of the candidates were assured of election, the interest man. ifeEted was good indication that the citizens of Cordova are awake to their interests in municipal affairs.
 The new council will be composed entirely of representative business men-men who are sacrificing their time and labor for the general good of the community. It may be confi- dently expected that the forthcoming unicipal year will see an admin istration of the citys affairs on a prac- tical business basis. The Times feels that the city is to be congratulated on its choice of council, and bespeaks for them the united support of the community, to the end that progress and prosperity may attend their en- deavors.
 1t is seldom that an election takes place at which anfmosities and jeal- Ousies are not engendered, but it may truly be said that in the short cam paign just ended there elements were but little in evidence. If any such exist, now is a good time to set them aside and join in the general move ment for the welfare of the city COrdova has most promising future before it, and in order that the full benefit of the city's growth in busi- ness and influence may be enjoyed, it behooves all to work shoulder to shoulder for it's advancement And those who supported the losing can didate are just as much interested, and should be just as helpful, as those who supported the winners.
 Now is a good time to bury the hatchet and work together in har- mOny for the city's advancement.
