Curiosity About the Type of
Man He Will Favor as
Party Candidate.
By DGUid Laurence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
nina Worldly

ming Worldly
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Copy
right, 19).-Presiden Wilson is be-
ing urged TO say publicly that he
will not be candidate for reelection,
but Just when he will do so is some
thing which he alone can decide.
He has arrived at no decision as yet.
Publication locally OF story to
the effect that Mr. Wilson would
make such a pronouncement at the
Jackson Day Dinner of the Demo-
Gratis on Jan Sth, drew no direct de-
NAL at the White House. except that
officials there gave the impression
that II such an announcement were
made 1t would hardly be at the Jack
son Day Dinner.
There were sundry remarks made,
too, about the improvement in the
Presidents health to the general ef-
feet that Woodrow Wilson was by
no means unable to make the race
for a third term If he cared to do so.
This, however, is unquestionably
only a reflex of a certain sentiment
that has held sway in executive
quarters to the effect that it would
be unwise for the President to make
any statement about the matter OF a
third term because of the disintegra-
ton OF his influence which might
follow.
Until the treaty and League of Ma
tons is disposed of by the Senate,
for instance, it is reckoned wiser for
Mr.. Wilson to maintain silence about
the future no matter how much the
various aspirants may be clamoring
for a statement that would be the, re-
lease signal so TO speak, for their
Presidential boorns.
CURIOSITY ABOUT TYPE OF MAN
HE WILL FAVOR.
On the other hand, several OF the
Democratic aspirants to the Presi-
dency are going ahead regardless of
any statement from the White
House. In fact it is so widely ac-
cepted among the Democrats that
MI. Wilson will not run for a third
term that the only thing that is
awaited with tense interest is what
Mr.. Wilson may choose to say about
the type OF man who should be given
the standard OF the Democratic Party
in the next campaign.
1t is confidently expected that Mr.
Wilson Will blaze the way with a
statement of principles which he
himself considers fundamental in this
day and age. On the other hand, II
10 very likely that the President will
not take any part himself in the
nomination contest. The fact that
William G. McAdoo, his own son-in-
law, is being pushed forward as a
candidate by many Wilson Demo-
Gratis is one embarrassment, and tho
fact hllt the President himself does
not believe the Democratic Party

GORE WAS FORMER
CORDEL.E OFFICER
PRINCIPAL IN SAVANNAH SHOOT
ING AFFRAY. WELL KNOWN

D. f. Gore one of the men seriously
wounded in the fight in Savannah be-
tween Central Railroad detectives
and Ocean Steamship police on the
wharves, was in 1914 and 1915 a
police officer in Cordele. He resided
here till the latter part of 1917 when
he moved t. Macon. He there re-
ceived an appointment as special de-
tecti:e for the Central.
The fight in Savannah proved a
bloody one Gore and another officer
were in dying condition at last re-
ports and their deaths would make
the fatalities three.
From the Savannah Press of yester-
day the following paragraph is taken
regarding what Gore says about the
shooting:
"Mr. Gore talked freely hesitating
now and then to gasp for breath, and
told connected story Of the tragedy
He insisted several times that he
alone killed Mr. Hirt and shot Ser
geant Campsen. The pillow on which
his head rested was covered with
blood which continually oozed from
the wounds on his head, where he
said he was dubbed with a pistol by
Sergeant Campsen. The man is in a
critical condition, and is not expected
to live through the day.
Mr.. Cores wife and small daugh-
ter Immediately went to the hospital
as soon as they learned of the shoot
ing, and Mrs. Gore was prostrated,
She was not permitted to see her hus-
band.
