q Virginian, but the son Of an Ohio
clergyman and of an English mother
was a student or teacher of the SCI
ence, or rather the art of governing &c:
30 years before he held a political
Office.
That fact was left out of their reck-
ontng by the Democratic bosses of cor.
rupE, machfne-ruied New Jersey when
they ursmoned the president of Prince
ton university from the golf links one
afternoon in the fall Of 1910 to receive
the nomination for governor. When
this supposed novice In politics de-
clared, as he ~fioundered through what,
as he had to W up. was his first po-
litical speech, that If elected governor
he would govern, the politicians nudged
one another and laughed in their
sleeves at the idea of a professor try
ing to run their machine. They laugh
ed out loud when they saw him actual
ly sit down in the governors chair and
begin to play politics out of a book.
OF all things, it was a book which he
himself had written in his youthful
school days merely as a thesis for his
Pho. at Johns Hopkins. The young
graduate-student made the discovery
that our Constitution created a vac
uum, which the bosses had rushed IN
to fill.
Alas, popular leadership is neither
a science nor an art that can be taught
out of a book.
Where other leaders OF our democ-
racy have appealed to the emotions, he
is q of the least electric, least dra-
matte of u presidents, with no anec-
dotes to popularize him, with no leg
ends of his youth or myths about his
political career to v~italize him to the
general imagination. He yves his va
rious successes at the polls to the cold
of the political situation and little
to his popularity. His academic aloof-
ness from politics, at a time when pol
had fallen into disfavor, made
him the available man Tor governor In
1910. As a candidate for president, he
a poor second to Champ Clark in
he popular primaries of 1912. He was
nominated at Baltimore only after As
and then only as a result of
overthrow of the steam roller.
And he vas elected by the division of
he Republicans between Roosevelt and
Taft, though he received a smaller vote
han the Democrats had polled in
hree past elections.
1t is the tragedy Of Woodrow VIII

mixed in him. magnetism was de-
lied him. that lodestone which draws
he hearts of men. The head has been
