DamoCrnt!c leader remarked the othcr

Rcrubllcans arc eager 10 keep the issue
Wilson and wisconsin" He naturally
and properly wants TO get away from
that issue lie wants 70 TIt1 on his own
personality, his own record and his own
issues Rut the minute he starts to get
away from tho WtlSOh issue he cncoun-

camp. He daro not act too pointedly or
TO get SO far away from wilson as TO
offend Wilson and Wilson's friends.
Wilson's friends are among the ablest
Of the Democratic leaders and spell
binders. Cox, to hN successful, must
have not merely their porfunCtory sup
port but their enthusiastic activity IN
tho campaign.
Cox Has His Own Plans.
These friends Of Wilson are watching
Cox carefully TO SEQ what moves he
makes and especially 10 sec what h"
