But perhaps the most significant evi-
dence OF all as to the Presidents
mental attitude toward the third term
lGea IS what he is saying and doing on
me trip "hIch is nearing its end, dur
ing which he has received the plaudits

Il IS not ovevstating the case to say
that the President on this trip has

What IS termed a good mixer, but he
mas demonstrated a marked capacity
Tor making friends during the last
tnree weeks. At every water tank sta
ton, at every division end where en-
glnes were changed, at almost every
opportunity from the beginning Of the
trp, the President has been a good

Wilson the Candidate First
lie. has done this sometimes with
zeal fatigue to himself. Over and
over again he has told his listeners
that he was glad to get away from

people was lost on the ear Of the rep
resentatives and get to the heart of
The people by mixing with them. In
1t al, juggling by outward things, the
candidate has lowered above the ad-
Nccata.
G l.ornia had very large part in
Ills election In 1916. The Presidents s.
aUAuilers OH the Coast say that if Sen
ator Johnson, of California, and Poin-
dexter, OF Washington, can be prop
erly "roped," there is no reason why
I'll the Coast states should not cast
their votes for Wilson.
The President last night in Los An
gelcs finished his weeks work on the
Coast by what looked to be the most
signal triumph Of all. Southern Cali
fornia, with Los Angeles as it's me-
tropolis. is looked upon as overwhel n
ingly Republican. The President was
received with marked favor by the Re-
publican leaders. Harry Chandler
publisher O. "rhe Los Angeles Times, ~
and Edward A. Dickson, publisher Of
"The Los Angeles Express" both Re-
publican journals, We're conspicuous
for their activity on the welcoming
committees.
Mr Chandler has an old score 10
settle with Senator Johnson. He is
anti-Wilson, but he is strong fer the
league of nations. The net result of
the demonstration in Los Angeles ia

Preaty Unpopular in North
In San Francisco and the northern
part Of the state the case is different
In San Francisco the treaty does not
seem to be popular. At San Diego,
the extreme southern part of the state,
it is about "fftyifty" The crowds
which greeted the President were large
and enthusiastic in both cities, al
though no greater than those which
greeted former Colonel Roosevelt on
his last appearance here.
