The Presidents Illness

Washington, D. c., Dec. GA
trick Of Senator Lodge, judged typi-
cal, was his insertion in the Con-
gressional Record of a brief note adj
dressed to the House and Senate,
by Secretary Tumulty-a note in
which the secretary expressed recep-
ton by the president of the inform
ation that the house and senate were
in session.
The obvious purpose of Senator
Lodge was to make official record,
FOR the first time, of the fact that
the president is for the moment in
capacitated through illness to dis
charge the duties of his office. Fol-
lowing the action by Senator Lodge,
the Republicans are discussing the
feasibility of declaring through reso-
luton that the president is unable
to discharge his duties at time
when for the safety Of government
and the nation it is higly essential
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-12-10

hat the president take charge of thf
situation.
The Republicans make the further
point that as the president, when
well, tolerated no interference BY or
suffered little advice from leaders in
congress or members of the cabinet,
the country, in this distressful period
is absolutely without a head. The
Republicans to their own satisfaction
contend that there is warrant in law
for their initiation of a movement
to declare the president unable to
discharge his duties.
Ignore Physicians Statement.
In the meantime, the public is en-
tertained and made happy by repeat
ed statements from the physicians
of the president that he is rapidly
showing Improvement. The Re2ub-
licans very frankly and candidly ig-
more these statements. They de-
clare that the presidents long, con-
tinued illness, has alarmed and dis

tressed the nation. When some weeks
ago the president issued a very
strong statement against the at
tempts of radicals to destroy the
government and against strikers
ignoring legal contracts in the face
of the governments opposing atti-
tude, the Republicans declared off
hand that the very strong state
ment had originated in the brain Of
Secretary Lane-a man gifted with
the most facile use of the pen. Again
when the president vetoed the bill
providing for the enforcement of
war time prohibition, the Republi-
cans intimate that the message OF
veto was written by Secretary Tu-
multy.
They have two other cases which
they claim ,clinches their argument.
They point to the fact that it was
Secretary Tumulty and not President
Wilson who replied to the message
of the house and senate that congress
was in session. On converting, the
house and senate did not appoint
members as committees to notify the
president in person because they
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-12-10

knew that the president could not be
seen in person. Instead they pre-
pared very polite notes. They re-
garded it as remarkable that the
president did not acknowledge re-
ceipt Of these notes. That Secretary
Tumulty did so is construed by them
/ to mean that the president could not
have done so.
Their other point regards the most
recent message of the president. The
Democrats declare that message all
right, up to the standard, fine in ex-
quisite literary style etc. The Re-
publicans openly discount the mes
sage. They declare that in times
such as the present, when war threat
ems on every hand, when the most inn
portant legislative period of the
country's history is arrived, no man,
much less man like Woodrow Will
son, would begin message to Con-
gress with an anti-climax as a rec
concentration that budget system
be prepared.
G. o. p. Discounts Message.
They readily discount the mes
sage although they do not think it
probable that the story regarding its
authorship is true. That story is
that the president based his message
on recommendations of the several
departments and previous messages
that he had sent to congress, that
he slowly dictated his message to
Mrs. Wilson, that Mrs. Wilson wrote
I the message in long hand that it
was afterward transcribed by con-
fidential secretary and sent to the
printer and put into type.
l With so much doubtful testimony,
it is impossible to ascertain the con-
dition of the president if one is prone
! to take cum grano salum the official
bulletins of DR.. Grayson. However,
it is true that up to within the last
] few days the president has received
nobody, that he even declined to see
4 Senator Hitchcock, who just prior to
the reconvening of congress the Ne
braskan called on him for instructions
relative to the renewal of the fight
( for the covenant of the League of

true that the president has been I'M
able to suffer consultation by Secre-
tary Lansing of the state depart
ment. and other members of the
cabinet relative to the Mexican stu
/ alton which is very ominous of war.
Secretary Lsnsing has been most
aggressive in ais stand, and it is
said that fact, based on his inability
to confer with the president, has
given him considerable embarass-
ment. In his stand however, he has
