Mr.. WILSON'S campaign for election
had been managed, nominally, by
WILLIAM F. McCoMBs, as chairman
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee. Actually Mr.. WILSON directed
his own canvass to a great extent,
and soon after election day it became
evident that Mr.. McCoMBs was not
as powerful In the party councils as
national committee chalrmen expect
and are expected to he. Colonel
HOUSES influence became paramount
to Mr.. McCoMBs was offered the post
of Ambassador to France, which he
could not accept. In 1916 he resigned
from the Craftsmanship and was sue

Pennsylvania, who guided the COM

year, which resulted In Mr.. WILSON 8

Congress last fall, in which, despite

BRYAN. His principles of pacltism

the Administration. He resigned OF
February 10, 1915, not because the
Administration was too bellicose, as

vainly endeavoring to obtain support
from the President for the measures
of military preparedness he believed
should be adopted for the defence Of
the nation. The departure OF Mr.. GAR

as q serious loss to the country. Hi
