PRESIDENT SURE
OF VINDICATION
Cheering Advice by Cabinet Member.
Silent Regarding a
Third Term.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-President
Wilson is satisfied with the convention
at San Francisco He is confident in
view of assurances received from the
array of administration field marshals
on the job that the sessions of the pres
ent week, while accompanied by a first
rate battle or two, will result in com
plete vindication of the Wilsonian poll
cies in highly acceptable form.
I just the same, however, Mr.. Wilson
is not going to permit what appears
to be certain victory to slip away from
him by any chance if it is possible to
avoid it.
Supplementing the personal reports
from eight or 10 administration lead
ers on the scene. viii be the full leased
wire service of one of the press associ-
ations, giving a complete running ac-
count of the proceedings. Mr.. Bryan,
or anybody else for that matter, no
sooner will be on his feet in the con-
vention trying to make speech than
Mr.. Wilson in Washington will know
about it, with an entire transcript of
what is being said trailing along aft
| erward, only minute or two late.
Such directions as Mr.. Wilson sees
| fit to exercise viii be done by the long
distance telephone with his lieutenants
and there will be no fussing about ii
at the White House.
| The latest effort to get Mr.. Wilson
| to declare himself on the third term
matter. through a letter from RepFe.
I'sentative Upshaw of Georgia has
| brought no result.
On the eve of the convention there is
a wealth of evidence, all circumstantial
to be sure, which would indicate that
| MrNWilson really is playing for a thirt
term, and on the other hand there i
i just as much to prove that he is out.
